DetroitDieseL Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Work so far on the TIS. Still need to add the 3x and 10x reticles. The noise still needs a bit of adjusting.

DetroitDieseL Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Now when the tank moves it will leave tread marks behind it. I still need to fine tune it but it still looks pretty good.

DetroitDieseL Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I have released a new video showing the newest additions to the Abrams and which will be used on all the other tanks. Granted, there will need to be slight changes here and there for each tank, but this is basically the base programming. http://www.americasarmor.com/OpOrd.html Or on youtube: If you want peace, prepare for war....

DetroitDieseL Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Just to let everyone know that is following this, I haven't stopped working. I have been busy with work, as well as building my home. I have been working on the FCS, specifically all the details involving the LRF and all its functions. As well as hit detection and different areas of damage that the tanks can take. I will be testing damage models for individual hits, for near misses. Meaning that if your tank takes a hit and is not destroyed, there will be a mark on the tank where the round hit. There is obviously some development and testing that will need to happen to make this work, so it may be an ongoing project to be tweaked over time. I want to give the Tankers the feeling that I felt while being in the gunner’s seat. As I did when I had the chance to try SB, I actually felt that feeling in my gut when I would be engaging targets all over hell whipping the turret around. That to me is full immersion at its best. I commend SB for that. I have also been testing the graphical limits, meaning the amount of trees and grass and static meshes. This will also be important to the size of the maps. Obviously the worlds will not be as large as other simulators, but I hope to make that up in detail and immersion.

DetroitDieseL Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 I have released a video that showcases some of the physics and the animation of the gun tube a bit better, using a static camera other than the players 3rd person camera.

winchesterdelta1 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hey DD, now combined Arms is out for DCS and we know we can drive tanks and such. Are yout thinking of switching to DCS CA? Would be awesome. Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitDieseL Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 From what I have been reading, the DCS CA is just being able to control the existing ground units...correct? AARM is focused strictly to the ground units. In time if there is an engine that will allow me to stay focused on the ground units and also implement a flight sim I will do so. The big challenge is being able to have detailed 3D models of the ground units and the aircraft with a huge detailed world to do combat in. If you want peace, prepare for war....

DetroitDieseL Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Are you thinking of AI controled aircraft? Because there sure are aircrafts all over DCS ;) Yes there will be AI controlled aircraft as the world will not be big enough to hold a realistic mission for aircraft. I will not add human controlled aircraft to this sim unless I have a world/engine that can handle taking off from an airbase miles away and flying to the target area or intercept another aircraft realistically without flying in circles constantly to stay in the map area.... EDIT::: When I say AI aircraft, I mean support aircraft for airstrikes or support from gunships. Not Head to head fighters. If you want peace, prepare for war....

DetroitDieseL Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hmm, DCS World has quite a large map, why not move your brilliant work to this SIM? (HJ) Don't get me wrong, I love DCS. But as the world is huge, the detail of the world is greatly decreased to handle it as the world in SB is. I would sacrifice world space for world detail to make the immersion of the gameplay better.

sobek Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I would sacrifice world space for world detail to make the immersion of the gameplay better. Well, the possibility to do a small high quality terrain is certainly there in DCS. From my POV, it would spare you a lot of "having to invent the wheel twice" stuff, but i am of course not familiar with the intricacies. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa!

DetroitDieseL Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 It would be easier using someones elses world, but I would have to change everything I've done as I am not using 3dMax. I don't have any LUA knowledge either. I am using C# and JS and Maya for the 3D assets. If you want peace, prepare for war....
