Uh-1 No Vegetation Shockwave


Recommended Posts

Wanted to test out the new shockwave effects on vegetation so fired off a couple missiles from the Huey. However there was just a regular explosion and no shockwave or plant movement.

Is it only implemented with some aircraft?

You're definitely on MT, right? Just making sure. Have a track for testing?

ah looks like the update wasn't working. normally it checks for update when loading but maybe MT doesn't do that anymore? not sure, but updating now

I see! Enjoy! I use Skatezilla's excellent updater, and update manually in any case.

well, i updated to latest version and tried again, but still don't see the plants responding to the shockwave. i've uploaded a quick and dirty video to demonstrate:

Since you're in the Huey. Does the grass and trees move when you fly over them? If not, double check again you're using the MT version.

Rockets have relatively little impact on the vegetation.

I noticed that with the WW2 rockets. 

The trees move more violently depending on explosive force. So a 2000lb will make the trees dance more than a 500lb.

ah maybe that's it. i assumes a rocket barrage would make the trees dance as well. the explosions look really big (check out my vid attached)

I can see maybe a slight movement. Remember explosion graphics are totally off in DCS. Rocket explosions are too big, bomb explosions are too small. the 3.4kg warhead in the HVAR WW2 rockets crate a far bigger explosion than the 500lb WW2 GP bomb.

ah that does seem off. 

i'll try again with 500lb bomb and see if it works on my end
