Looking great. this sim gets better every day. K boys its time to start looking at a new ground or EXtras pack soon. theres tons of new NON aircraft stuff now. or include it with a revised bueafighter release at least. Heck its time to look at a whole new download. Somthing huge that includes all kinds of stuff. but the modem users will scream bloody murder. IP: Logged |

Thats great Aladar!!!!!!!!!! I'm in the process of increasing the range at which you can release the torpedo so your plane wont get plastard. With the version I sent you last night, you should be able to release it farther away than that now.  P.S. When you release, try banking away instead of going straight. You wont get hit by the explosion. P.P.S. I bet it was hard taking those pics and releasing the torpedo at the same time eh? LoL well it was for me at any rate.

Exactly semmern, I'm thinking one HUGE download split into small 3 meg packages. to cover all the good stuff from the last year. And then bi monthly add ons. I think that would be much better then a new plane pack, nations, ground objects pack, contest pack, this pack, that pack, this individual plane, this individual ground object. Its getting insane for the new users and us regular users. IP: Logged |

Please don't split up the files... what a pain in the ass... I get good connects and I would prefer to start a dl before sleep and have it all in the morning. This breaking up of files is stupid and wastes my time babysitting the damn dl.
Make 2 downloads if you must, but give us the single option.

Unfortunately, that even if the torpedo didn't have the room to arm, it would still destroy/damage the target, just like I saw a stray gear wheel bounce down the runway and take out a King Tiger once. I am probably missing how the torpedo works, though. I am good at that  . On a lighter note, I did find another bridge to storm in Chalais - a tress bridge. IP: Logged |

Spanky here.. Ok well then 2 options, split up into bite size chunks for our european friends paying for there time and people with bad connects. Although you could always use getright or somthing that lets you resume a download. ANd then a full huge download for people on high speed and unlimited modem plans and a solid connection.

Whirlwind, actually... you can have duds! That happens when you are REAL close or far away. If you are REAL close, the obHits on the "charge" will not have all ben taken and thus the torpedo will not explode. If you are far away and not enough obHits were taken if/when it reaches the ship, it wont explode. Also, if you drop it at the incorrect angle and speed, it will either explode a few seconds after impact on the water, or it will go under. One more thing that will cause a dud is if it hits the ship from too steep a trajectory angle. If its too steep, it will bounce off the side. So as you can see, it takes practice to get it right just like in real life. My next big challange will be to get this thing to travel farther and still travel relatively straight and still explode when it hits the ship.------------------

One thing you could try (what I was gonna do when I thought I could get a torp working) is to mount a "detonator" on the "top" of the last hidden part of the moving charge. This would be a small bomb, invisible, but with the appropriate obBodyPts so that it could hit something, but it would be suspended out of the water so no damage taken. The problem would be insuring it survives all the way to the ship.When it hits the ship, it would go off. If you give it the right amount of explosive, it should damage the main charge enough to cause it to blow as well...I think

Hmmm.... Ive never thought of that one before. I believe that just might work. As of now, the torpedo 'bomb' enters the water. After it travels for about 1 second and goes beneath the water, it gets deleted by the game and the hidden "charge" which is mounted ontop of the topedo unhides giving the appearance as if the torpedo entered the water, and dove up agian. A realistic appearance it is as they do such a thing in real life. Then that 'charge' travels and while doing so, goes beneath the water right on its surface so sometimes you can still see a small portion of it. Then it hits the ship and goes boom! But you knew that already.... but other people were curious so I explained it anyways. Now, one problem still remains... how can I get it to travel farther without making it whobbly? And for it to still explode when it hits the ship? Distance is the key here. If I can get that up, all is well from there on out. ------------------
