HiJack Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 is this modeled. even chips or spider cracks? Yes! Why not model ground crew flokking up around your aircraft changing the canopy? :pilotfly:
Eddie Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Why? In RL, visible chips or cracks would ground the aircraft I should think (hope). Even large/a lot of noticeable scratches would require a canopy change
Moa Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Even smudging the glass with fingerprints was considered a no, no in our Air Force (no matter who did it, pilot or ground crew). Our ground crews were always vigilant to keep the canopy clean. You might get a crack as the result of battle damage (and I think most canopys are designed to withstand birdstrike, so you get a mess but not a crack). Edited December 20, 2011 by Moa
HiJack Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Unless he is thinking of bullet holes when in action then :P
cichlidfan Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Unless he is thinking of bullet holes when in action then :P I seem to recall an old post where someone put the refueling boom through their canopy but that damage was only modeled in the exterior view, or something to that effect.

july865 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 im sorry, i should have made my post more clear. Hijack got it right. after a sortie the exterior damage model i think i great, why not damage model the canopy front glass (or what ever they call it) Asus x99, i7 5930k, 32g mem, MSI 1070GTX, 970 Samsung M.2, LG 35in Ultra-Wide, TrackIR 4 Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
HiJack Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Like in this? :D Should show "Paths of Hate" but only crap is loaded to Youtube. Search for the video in VIMEO Edited December 20, 2011 by HiJack
diveplane Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 i think hes possibly meaning canopy scratches , like lockon https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
hog_driver111th Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 As for refueling, I wish the boom could create dents and possible broken glass. I had seen an A-10 at Quonset ANG base, Rhode Island (2009). The bird had just returned from overseas the day before and the front glass was stíll busted. The pilot said the boomer was having a rough day... first by putting all the dents in the nose, then came down onto the front windshield cracking it real bad. I have pictures somewhere, but I'd have to search. It would be great if that were modeled. Especially the dents as it looks like every A-10 has dents on the nose.

Frostiken Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 first by putting all the dents in the nose ... Especially the dents as it looks like every A-10 has dents on the nose. Yeah, they do. Kind of ridiculous that they can fly like that. The pilot said the boomer was having a rough day... Typical pilot :p [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Aries Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 I think it would be real nice if someone from ED finally explained why they gave up on any crazing, scratches or battle damage modelling on the canopy... Just say it... we'll understand... For example say: "It kills framerate like when you pass close on a smoke animation from a ground unit and it cuts FPS to 1-5... cause it's bitmap graphics and we still can't render it fast nevertheless you bought top of the line CPUs & GPUs..." How things stand now, there is only a big questionmark over my head: "Why is something existant in the Producer Notes videos been removed???"...:sad_2: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] ...the few, the proud, the remaining...
Newt Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 It would be kind of nice to hear the reason why. I know that a lot of people say that there wouldn't be any, etc. But, when you watch videos from inside real planes, they often have them. *shrug* oh well... Live every week like it's Shark Week. :D

Since the LOM cockpit no longer had it - it never made it in to the reworked EDM Cockpit. No idea if it will return.

Blaze Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Makes sense, I remember seeing the static crazing in the first Producers Notes, and after that never saw it again. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement. You can want it, you can ask for it, but you don't automatically deserve it. "
Shein Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Not to threadjack, but along the same lines I'd like to see better modeling for killed pilots. I know they show a little blood on the canopy for exterior view and on the HIND I know the pilot will slump over the controls when killed but I always thought it was a neat concept, ever since I shot the pilot of a HIND with the cannon once. I guess bottom line is more noticeable cues when the pilot of an aircraft has been killed?
Nate--IRL-- Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Unfortunately that leads to a higher PEGI rating - not really desirable. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
Demongornot Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Half people want a cracked canopy and glass and half don't want... Simply idea... What about create a cracked canopy/glass and a simple option for disable it for people who don't want that ? Same thing for the yellow windshield missing ? Its better to have a big page with a lot of options and can personalize the simulator how we want than minimal options with no choice...

cichlidfan Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Unfortunately that leads to a higher PEGI rating - not really desirable. Nate That is a very important consideration.
