Well, finally had some time to work on the tiger2 some more: get it at www.mosquitonet.com/~blodgett/panzer2.9.zip

New as of May 27 2000: corrected problem with
zoom on external view, added a working hatch,
use q key(canopy toggle) to lower tank commander and close hatch, q again to pop back out)


Now has gun sight, 2 position tank, ai drives if waypoints are there. Hatch needs a cover yet, but Commander goes up and down with the Q command(canopy toggle command). Needs work on wheels + speed issues(this ones a bit fast, but it'll also climb small hills).
Try it out! Especially Werner.

Unzip to your fighter squadron directory(the archive has its own media\aircraft directory structure)

Actually I hadn't even looked at for months til last night. Still needs lots of work, but I've figured out a few things that were giving me trouble. AI still not moving to waypoints, but I think I can fix that. Main thing was to get those viewpoints where I wanted them, and just happened to get a gunsite in the process. If anyone wants to work on it, or use it, or link it somewhere go for it.

Archy, there are a few problems... You can see the wheels at certain view positions and the F2 view is zoomed WAY out and can not be zoomed in.

Yeah, the wheels are not obhidden yet, I plan on replacing them to get rid of some of the bounce at top speed. The zoom thing, I don't know whats going on with that, I'll try to figure that out.

Hey Archy! I'm glad to see you've made progress on the Tiger, perhaps you can help me with the T34 this summer? I look forward to taking your new ride for a spin this weekend. A couple questions, though: I recall that in previous betas every second main gun shell (the non-tracer ones) were ineffective at destroying buildings. I tested this by shooting at two identical buildings side by side at nearly zero range, one with just tracer rounds and one with just non-tracer rounds. Every experiment showed I could blast with non tracer until the cows came home and the building wouldn't even smoke. Any ideas? Also, does the tiger have a new skin yet? Finally, how are the key controls mapped?

Sounds awesome!

Werner

------------------
It's coming... The NEW bcatp! Stay tuned for details!

The dummy round is a consequence of the game engine I think. What we can do is just double the rounds, and the rate of fire for the main gun. No new paint job yet(one is needed)
I need to mess around with ac3d a bit to get the holes I made (for turret hatch, and gunner view) perfected. Only special control is the q key to raise and lower the commander. There are two positions in the tank, commander(who is also the pilot, viewpoint changes when q is pressed) and gunner. All control is via the joystick(currently have rudder mapped to rear wheels, but I'll be changing that soon.

Updated to panzer2.9 may 27 2000.
Fixed external zoom problem.
Added working hatch(tied to canopy key)
Hid the wheels
*note parts of the gunsite may appear as the commander lowers inside the turret, working on it.
