DCS A-10C damage model screenshots

Likewise. It looks like it flew through a convoy of Shilkas. :shocking:

[badaboom]

Wow!!! that very realistic looking!!

[hannibal]

no blood in the cockpit? :(

That mangled airframe isn't enough slaughter for you? :smilewink:

[159th_Falcon]

What about engines? With that damages turbines should explode

 

Why? Can you see any damage done to the turbines?

If the turbine would explode would you see it on the outside of the engine casing?

Wouldn't there be some kind of a protective barrier between the Turbine and the rest of the aircraft, so that in the event of an explosion of the turbine the shrapnel would not cut trough hydraulic lines in for example the tail boom?

 

etc etc etc.

(i know that for example an Turbomeca Arriel 2C2 has an steel band around the Power Turbine to prevent external damages in case of an turbine explosion, i wouldn't be surprised if the A10C has something similar.):smartass::smilewink:

The other source of possible combustion, the engines, are shielded from the fuel system and the rest of the airframe by firewalls and fire extinguishing equipment.

One of ED's internal 3D modelers has posted a few unofficial screenshots of damage effects implemented on the A-10C 3D model for DCS Warthog. The model includes specular and bump mapping.

looks kinda scripted to consistant,

You can tell from four screens? Hats off to you, mister :lol:

[EtherealN]

I have a screenshot of EtherealN landing with half a wing ... probably a half of other things too ;)

 

That was definitely one of the most rewarding landings I have ever made. Though I'm fairly certain that if I lost half a wing IRL I would just bail. :P

[GGTharos]

... Unless you were in an F-15, then you wouldn't notice but you'd wonder why you have to land so fast :P

[EtherealN]

Bah, that thing cheats by getting some lift from the body!

[RIPTIDE]

Damage? What damage? That's just a scratch on the paintwork ;)

Did my teaser trailer go unnoticed or...? :P

 

You should be aware that you see more from your trailers than we see... Basically we see some text and few quick pics on music ;)

 

Was there some hint for DCS A10c graphics? Sorryyyyy... :P

And hint for graphics....humm. I dont even need to answer this one, do i.

Well maybe I am rather slow but when I see movies (youtube ones) I can use pause. So... my observation stands.

 

Ok... Ok... I got it... they fixed the cloud shadow bug :D :P

[Glowing_Amraam]

Oh my god :P

I'm just gonna save any comment and let you decide once you've seen my next promo. ;)

'Tis only a flesh wound!:megalol::megalol:

[diveplane]

it needs some blood stain inside the cockpit and canopy glass, when pilot gets hit...

 

apart from that looks good.

[Witchking]

Looks great.....I love the falling apart of pieces....please impliment that for ground targets as well. Also...that fire....still looks bland and boring. Without being too much "trolling around"...I just posted this in another area of the forum.

Please ED....look at the explosions, smoke... fire color...the special effects...the random debris and shrapnel released during an explosion. Especially for ground pounding with a hog where vehicles can explode with metal falling apart...it can truly help the immersion and satisfaction factor.

 

 

 

I love this building shot...int he video you can see it break apart.

 

 

 

ED have listened to the requests for infantry addition, but they still haven't worked on the boring explosions and fire effects since the original lock on. It would be great if they can fix them up a bit with some inspiration from arcade sims. ;)

 

cheers,

I like to think of it like this. My personal satisfaction comes from reading and understanding the briefing, starting up my bird on the ramp, taxi to takeoff and takeoff. Navigate myself however long it takes to get to the target area, find the targets and begin my attack runs. The explosions I induce over my enemy will usually be at standoff range, so all the fire and debris really won't be witnessed all to clearly anyhow. Once mission objectives are complete I will RTB, land and taxi to parking.

 

That gives ME the ultimate immersion and satisfaction. If Ace combat had bland explosions, it would be a VERY shallow/boring game since it really doesn't require any skill at all to get a kill.

 

ED seem to be making very good progress with their second installment in the series. New map, interactive training, radio chatter to name but a few.

 

PS: Everything you see inside that A-10C model there has working, simulated virtual parts that are living and breathing in the sim, not the case with Ace Combat.
