Sppoky ghosts! I swear!
Still waiting for a new âWhere Eagles Flyâ trailerâŚ
I never thought the day would come when I could use a flightsim as scale documentation for my model kitsâŚ
But here we are.

Whatâs nextâŚ? Is it possible to unplug some of those cables and reset cbâs?
On the Viggen, thereâs a loadout panel on the starbord side of the fuselage, under the canard. This had to be set according to the actual loadout, flap position and g-loading. Anyway, if set at a correct combination, you got a green light, that the pilot checked on his external inspection. Problem was that you could set that panel completely wrong, if certain cbâs were pulled. Now Iâm not saying some technical officers did this to prank their pilotsâŚbut they could, if they wanted toâŚ
Now I want this kind of realism in my DCS modules! External inspections with gotchasâŚ!
The pilot in me questions the use of resources for something that while is undoubtedly geek cool, wonât be used much in my case. That is unless there is some sort of maintainer functionality. But even then, would rather the time be spent on an AI WSO. My $.02.
those are different persons usually, 3D artist, 2D artist and coder. so probably while coder is still knee deep in the âmatrixâ the 3D artist / 2D artist are just bored and have fun
I do too, but Iâm also impressed by the details.
That said, I think that the 3D modelling is easier than systems and flight modelling.
Or maybe I think that because 3D modelling is something Iâve been able to learn, while the other stuff is alien wizardryâŚ
Im thinking it will be very much like Black Shark III,Maybe they will open/close on aircraft start up/shutdown but not much interaction other than that.
Most of the pics I post are from Ron from Razbam Twitter Acct.
These latest ones are retweetâs from Metal2Mesh Razbamâs 3D Artist who has been working on this project Forever
If I might change that up a bit:
The pilot in me questions the use of resources POLYGONS for something that while is undoubtedly geek cool, wonât be used much in my case.
Valid point. I wonder if, when these panels are closed or the aircraft isnât in a damaged state, those are being rendered?
If so, honestly, Iâd rather not have them.
Of course not.
^^^ That
I would think youâre at least burning CPU cycles processing what should be rendered or not, even if youâre not burning as much actually rendering them. Know if DCS has a good enough engine that the overhead on that is minimal, by all means eye candy away.
Compare the new ka50 to the old one, and youâll see thereâs no noticeable burden to these eye candy panels.
I wonder the interior of the panels only âspawnsâ when the panels are opened. The Mossieâs bomb bay is like that. The bombs arenât even rendered until the doors are open a certain %.
