Kenan Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Hello gents! Saw this FC2 video today and noticed the gun rounds just bouncing off from ground without any explosions/smoke effects? I understand bullets bouncing off from armor or simmilar hard surface but ground? Why was this changed in FC2? Can you change the type of gun ammo or is it the same AP like it was in FC1? Thx.

Insanatrix Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Oh hey look, my video lol :). AFAIK they are simulated as AP rounds which is why they bounce. You can edit a cfg file I know to change them to HE, however you won't pass integrity check online. The ground is a hard surface and given enough deflection angle they will bounce.
Kenan Posted August 1, 2010 Author Posted August 1, 2010 Judging by your video, every single round bounced off the ground which is what actually caught my attention: there was no single trace of some dust smoke or "explosion" upon impact. I don't think dirt can make a 30mm bounce off like that. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Commanding Officer of: 2nd Company 1st financial guard battalion "Mrcine" See our squads here and our .

hassata Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 I did see an A10 documentary post FC2 which showed bullets deflecting off of the hard desert floor around a tank at the Nellis range. Looked pretty close to the effect. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
topdog Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) I still find it a little hard adjusting to the green/orange laserbeams in the middle of the day that firefights create (in addition to the fireworks display of the ground ricochets). I saw the joint fire tactics video of TBS on youtube and it didn't seem to have this effect in it; the avenger cannon fired without any stream of tracer type rounds in it. Not sure if that's part of a change/improvement we'll see in DCS:A10C of the graphics in general (there are some clear lighting improvements in the producer note videos) or if that was requested of them by contract or similar. It seemed more natural of live engagements that have been recorded of A10 flights though so I'm hoping it'll come.

mvsgas Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Several guys talk about how to change this. I think this is the one, several guys where not happy with the effect so they started to modify. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=51698&highlight=A-10+gun&page=10 1 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
Poor mans sniper Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 You can edit a cfg file I know to change them to HE, however you won't pass integrity check online. :huh: How?
