homepage Forums Air Combat & Civil Aviation EECH / EEAH EECH 1.15.2 testing progress [ARCHIVE]

If I am understand correctly there wasn't warning message when chopper locked-on by enemy SAM launcher. I didn't changed anything there, but will make some tests.

Not quite; only when engaged by enemy Infantry using MANPADS. The M1097, M48A1 etc all cause the RWR to light up as normal, so I presume I've just managed to avoid being shot at by infantry before now.

in this case RWR shouldn't react on heat-seeking missiles, so it's ok.

Good to hear; I did wonder. Sorry for the false alarm.

someone interested in ballistics? you can join the test of new ballistic calculations for guided and non-guided weapons. it respects mass, gravitation force, air pressure, engine thrust for boost and sustain mode, proper drag calculations. work in progress and it can be interesting only for person that have some knowledge in this sphere. it's not playable =)

Very nice.Is not eat fps?Becouse smoke trail eats very much fps if it is too much sprites.Probably you found some other way to display of such smoke.

it works like fire smoke (one smoke texture per shot), but dissapear in 3 seconds. don't feel any problems with it on my system.

This is somehow associated with smokes / metasmok, or completely separately only in the code?

it's new strings both in smoke and metasmoke files, but in the code small exceptions - this type of smoke doesn't continuous (only one texture created). so it can be configured like usual smoke. same as for new types of smoke that I am making - everything will be in csv files.

There is still something to add?;)I mean adding new things, or changing old?

it's just new types of smoke (read - new configs) for different situations. nothing extremely new in smoke rendering, it's same smoke and flame sprites.

1 proposal from me :
If you shoot rockets :
2 rockets- you have 2 smoke trails
8 rocketes - you have 8 smoke trails.
32 rockets you have 32 smoke trails- this kill any cpu.Maybe you can hard lock ALWAYS 2 smoke trails for any amount rockets?
I mean the new sprites smoke trails.Not the old" Cross".whose you are using.

thanks. will think about it.

spent a lot of time making smoke move in opposite direction after rocket launch, finally it works.. also some new muzzle effects. I'm still far away from finishing but at least now I know how it will works at the end.

and, of course, Happy new year!!

Very impressive update. Keep up the good work.

A very Happy New Year to all you EECH users out there from sunny (well, it's actually raining here!!) Scotland.

Cheers,

Andy

As always perfect Alex I see you improved the old "cross"smoke.
Happy New Year

Hello fellow EECHer's,

I see some very interesting moding and improvements going on in this old gal...

Keep up the good work..

Happy New Year !

sort of. tried some different shapes (like # ) but stayed with cross, I'm just increased number of ribbons by one (now it looks like >|< ). still not perfect from the cockpit view but much better from the side.

I am also a long time I tried to make it better.Normal single sprites operate poorly.It is impossible to reduce the distance between them.When large amounts able to stop the whole computer.Cross look great from the side and do not slow down computer.I watched as it is done in BMS.

This looks perfect.I do not know how to do it in eech.
Maybe here you fund some tips :
