Ice Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 I do believe that this news has been overlooked!! Dmut Said "btw, Chizh have told us a wonderfull info a few days ago on russian forum - next ED's project shall be as much "hardcore" as F4 and you'll get a "clickable" cockpits/" I'm Excited!! :roll:
leafer Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 fo' shizzle ma nizzle! Translation: That is great news, sir! :lol: ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

Skywall23 Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Good news. :) But when i get that sim I will probably be serving in the Rangers. :P
BIOLOG Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Well, I'm guessing it will come out by 2010, by which time I would hopefully finish my university and be finishing my PhD :D The bird of Hermes is my name eating my wings to make me tame.
169th_Jaws Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 The more hardcore the better imo! EXCELLENT!!! :D We're sim enthusiasts after all... well most of us here are. Just when you thought it was safe to go back over the water... Flight Lieutenant "Jaws" 169th Panthers
4c Hajduk Veljko Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Well, start saving for Trak IR3 and 6DOF. Clickable cockpit may bring us 6DOF, or at least I hope it will! 8) Thermaltake Kandalf LCS | Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R | Etasis ET750 (850W Max) | i7-920 OC to 4.0 GHz | Gigabyte HD5850 | OCZ Gold 6GB DDR3 2000 | 2 X 30GB OCZ Vertex SSD in RAID 0 | ASUS VW266H 25.5" | LG Blue Ray 10X burner | TIR 5 | Saitek X-52 Pro | Logitech G930 | Saitek Pro flight rudder pedals | Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
SUBS17 Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 That sounds awesome, I heard that it may feature the F-16 and A-10 as flyables. Theres certainly alot more you can do in a clickable pit. cheers Subs [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
BIOLOG Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 A-10 is a flyable already :D The bird of Hermes is my name eating my wings to make me tame.
Trident Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Good news! I hope they make the 3D cockpits completely clickable, 2D pits are an anachronism IMHO.

SUBS17 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Same here if its true, multirole all the way. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
SUBS17 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 A-10 is a flyable already :D Maybe its an A-10 with AFM and a fully working clickable pit, who knows I guess we'll have to wait and see. Either way even if they just used the same model off Lockon and gave it an AFM like the Su25 I'd still fly it. cheers Subs [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
leafer Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 That would be cool but I think it'd get old real quick. I'd rather see virtual hand operating the dials and switches when I hit the keyboard. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

169th_Jaws Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 That would be cool but I think it'd get old real quick. I'd rather see virtual hand operating the dials and switches when I hit the keyboard. Agreed but I'll bet that's MUCH easier said than done. Imagine having to render moving 3d pilot arms constantly while flying. Kill the fps.

Agreed but I'll bet that's MUCH easier said than done. Imagine having to render moving 3d pilot arms constantly while flying. Kill the fps.And it will also kill an ED's animators, who will have to create not only animation of every button in cockpit pressed\released, but with all possible sequences combination, otherwise when you will think about choosing your TACAN channel by pressing e.g. "129" , you'll see your hand taking off from HOTAS, pressing "1", then going on HOTAS again, then moving to press "2" and back, and finally "9". I pretty sure it would be a fun to watch such movements for a first 5 minutes, but then...

Ice Posted January 1, 2005 Author Posted January 1, 2005 hmm dials with hands and fingers i look at the joystick, it moves but i dont see hands and fingers

Dmut Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 that's why I don't think hands animation worth it. Eye candy isn't a thing which is more important for us virtual pilots then improved FM, DM, or avionics.

Muttley Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 that's why I don't think hands animation worth it. Eye candy isn't a thing which is more important for us virtual pilots then improved FM, DM, or avionics. Agreed, Dmut! But it doesn't change the fact that, to me, it is pretty weird to see my legs all the time, but no arms... I feel... dismembered! :o I'd rather have no legs showing in the inside cockpit views than this incongruency. I'm sure this has been said before but "JSF" anyone?? Not only could you see your arms but after ejection, you could carry a gun while you'd explore the 3D world on the ground... Then again, forget what I just said and let's have all flyables with the advanced flight model?? :wink: FlyHigh and Check Six! Muttley, out.
169th_Jaws Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 Although.... you could just add arms but have them never leave the stick and throttle. Would look better than no arms at all, wouldn't take to long to animate and wouldn't be to hard on fps, if at all. What do you reckon? Just a suggestion of course, I'm not hugely fussed.

leafer Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 Only for the first five minutes? heh Damn, talking bout short attention span. :D It would be better than clickable pit imo. Add to immersion on those dark rainy nights. I got tired of clicking after a while. Unless we get a touch screen, of course. Cheers ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
