The_Fragger Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 (edited) While coding finishing in the background, we are testing additional features to make the overall look more reralistic. This also includes natural behaviours of the character/Pilot/Co-Pilot (facial animations) We are working hard to implement these features to the DCS-BO-105. The first look looks promissing in our opinion. What do you think ? Keep in mind that the endresult is up to the engine. Meaning that the current Animation Test is WIP.

I guess this will be used for general (random/ambient) face expression/looks of the models? Or do you plan this to see further, dynamic and possibly interactive use? Like mouth moving when talking in multiplayer or "emojis" you can use. Or even scriptable for a more immersive singleplayer experience. 1 Be aware of spam links posted on the forums Wishlist: Make textboxes scale like polygons | Eastern Caucasus map | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am super happy though when the Bo-105 drops as a module in the first place - everything else is in the stars 1 Be aware of spam links posted on the forums Wishlist: Make textboxes scale like polygons | Eastern Caucasus map | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you manage to get the correct synchronization between facial expressions and what the AI will communicate (comments regarding hit/miss, scare if pilot flies too abruptly, proper lip-sync with regards to words used, etc...), you'll set quite a new bar with regards to feeling of not being "alone" in a human-AI scenario (in a module). Specifically, when he talks, it'll be important to have him perfectly synchronized with what's being said. The animations are too superb, to use them for any less! Keep at it!

ninelore Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Progress news for April 2024 FM OVERVIEW We are currently in the process of connecting all other instruments to the corresponding bus routes. All instruments will be connected correctly according to the circuit diagram and will react accordingly. This includes power supply, light intensity, magnetic switch behavior and instrument failure. We have also almost finished integrating the drag and wind forces from all external components of the helicopter. The downwash MEDUSA-FM is 50% done as well. Further progress on the flight model is blocked until the altimeter, speed indicator and and compass are done code-wise. FORCES, WIND and DAMAGE Since the MEDUSA system monitors the entire helicopter, all forces such as penetrating wind, stabilizers, OAT (Outside air temperature), damage and blown parts are taken into account. For example, if a rotor blade is broken or missing, the MEDUSA rotor task will take this into account and recalculate the flight behavior. MEDUSA ROTOR SYSTEM The rotor system was implemented accurately. This also includes the rigid rotor head directed 3° forward and ~1.5° forward to the right. Currently we are in the process of aligning the line of sight indicator compass to the magnetic compass. Since the magnetic compass shows the real position of the helicopter, the line of sight compass may differ in certain circumstances. A "+" (plus) or a circle indicator will tell you if you need to adjust the line of sight compass. You will be able to calibrate the disc (indexed rotation of the compass disc) and adjust it to the magnetic compass with a switch. ELECTRIC BUS The electric bus is finished and is just waiting to receive signals from the remaining devices. It's 100% implemented according to the circuit diagram. WEAPON SYSTEM The weapon system is currently in our backlog and will be implemented when the majority of other systems are complete. This is one of the last tasks for MEDUSA. As always, this will be implemented exactly according to the circuit diagram. This includes, but is not limited to: - SELF TEST - Wire cut cases - Power problems The weapon system communicates with the line of sight indicator, YAW control and the current position of the helicopter. YAW CONTROL INSIGHTS When YAW CONT is on and the "SIGHT LINE" ON switch on the collective is pressed/held, the helicopter will always follow the left/right angle of the sight unit (105° left/right). However, the pilot always has control over the helicopter and must ensure that he is always within the line of sight limit (line of sight Indicator Limits -> 3° left/right). If the conditions are not met, the HOT can't be fired. If the HOT is in flight and the pilot deviates from the 3°, the HOT's communication wires are cut. If steering inputs are too hard, the hydraulic system switches from System 1 to System 2 (Displayed on the warning panel). This automatically switches the YAW CONT magnetic switch to OFF. In this mode the helicopter is no longer able to follow the periscope. This entire process is monitored by the MEDUSA HYDRAULIC task and the MEDUSA POWER SUPPLY task.

The_Fragger Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 (edited) FM at 98 % ! The downwash and transition was sent to the MEDUSA system today. The physical formulas work together and calculate all necessary situations. The downwash/ground effect is calculated from all 10 sectors per rotor blades. As the air cushion moves at increasing speed, it reacts to external influences such as OAT, air density, wind and attachments to the helicopter. Subtleties such as the pointer deviations when the tanks slosh during control inputs, or turbulence on the pickup such as the clib/dive indicator are implemented as an extra feature. Next, the BO-105 will be released to the SMEs and BO-105 pilots for testing. Pilot/CO-pilot is already in the cockpit.
