Author	Topic: SVAE? Or pick a name.
Private Roger Pilot	posted 05-09- 06:19 AM Screamin Vehicles Accross Europe? With Harman's great work (and others) on making more vehicles operational in SDOE, perhaps a terrain especially made for them might be in order? Depending on the variety of the vehicles, and the operational ability, a terrain that is better suited to driving on, and perhaps one that had more cover, ie. better trees, more buildings, fences, etc. might be nice. Also, perhaps a terrain with more real roads, etc. I would think it could be smaller than the stock terrains, if that is even possible, or would impact in a positive way the performance of the game. After all 40 miles is a hike driving. I'm mostly throwing this idea up for consideration. I have no real idea if it's needed, or even feasible. I'll leave that to the SDOE modellers to debate. Just struck me as something we could consider. Thanks for reading. PR=FC= IP: Logged
Harman_5 Pilot	posted 05-09- 06:29 AM Good idea! Attack Regiment: Screamin Vehicles In SDOE (not so good a name I know) Maybe making the terrain more 'rough' in some areas to simulate off-road areas like mud and grass, dirt, etc so when you drive over it, the vehicle will rock around. The terrain we have now is pretty flat and nice everywhere you go. It'll be cool to test the strength of the vehicles suspension Also having proper roads as you said and maybe this is a long shot, but having areas like little rivers with water plates, then I could make amphibious (sp?) vehicles This sort of terrain could be about 20 miles or so in size. Something for the terrain gurus to think about ------------------ Visit FS:SDOE Online [This message has been edited by Harman_5 (edited 05-09-2001).] IP: Logged
Gecko Pilot	posted 05-09- 07:18 AM Great idea! How about the Monza track -Gecko =FC= IP: Logged
Werner Molders JAG	posted 05-09- 08:48 AM I agree with PR! Great idea. Given the kind of vehicles we have (largely late war, western front) perhaps we could kill two birds with one stone here and get ourselves a Normandy Beaches terrain. What with hedgerows for cover and the new water innovations mace et al have come up with, aren't we at the threshold of moving ships?

Harman_5 Pilot	posted 05-09- 09:15 AM Moving ships is very much a possiblity imo, Just take a vehicle, remodel it, and add the float system used in the 'Rufe' by Mace. The only prob is that objects placed over water in the mission editor are automatically made to start mid-air when you start the mission. This may be overcome however by making the ship start at say 2 or 3 feet in the air, then it will gently drop into the water on mission start ------------------ Visit FS:SDOE Online IP: Logged
Sunray Pilot	posted 05-09- 10:44 AM So if somebody with talent makes us a Normandy terrain does this mean we'll get a Sherman with the big teeth on the front for busting the hedgerows? Oh and Flail tanks and DDS's and a Crocodile? (It's a Churchill tank with a big can of fuel on a trailer that fed the flame thrower) [This message has been edited by Sunray (edited 05-09-2001).] IP: Logged
Werner Molders JAG	posted 05-09- 11:25 AM That wasn't what I was getting at Sunray, but... uh if you want to build those things go for it! My point was that we've already got a drivable Sherman, Tiger, US and German Halftracks, French Car, and we will soon have a couple different supply trucks and possibly a Panther.

Sailor Pilot	posted 05-09- 03:10 PM Just a thought, but has anyone tried to use these vehicles on-line, in missions like "get away from Abbeville in a Citro�n under Stuka attack" or "Drive a Truck Convoy across the Bridge before the Typhoon catches you" ? Any takers ? It could be worth a try Sailor IP: Logged
Harman_5 Pilot	posted 05-09- 03:34 PM Sailor, I don't about others around here, but I'd love to try these vehicles online. At the very least, it would give me an insight as to how they perform (if at all) online. ------------------ Visit FS:SDOE Online IP: Logged
Snake Pilot	posted 05-09- 05:03 PM I'm sure efveryone noticed it but it gets boring very quickly as soon as nothing is around you. Also its very hard to judge speed. Therefore a new terrain should have something like a small bush or rock every 10 feet so you can 'see' how fast you are going. Snake IP: Logged
Private Roger Pilot	posted 05-09- 06:49 PM Sailor Indeed we have used certain vehicles online. In the Squad Wars (which take place every Saturday), we had a mission where a GMC truck (driven by yours truely) had to drive from one airfield to another all while being pursued by the dreaded Axis. I came sooo close to making it too. The work being done on the ground units has the 'potential' to add yet one more element to this great sim of ours. Not even the much heralded IL-2 promises the ability to drive ground vehicles. At least not last time I checked As Werner said before, I get the feeling we may be looking at the beginnings of a whole new kind of SDOE War! PR=FC= IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 05-09- 10:04 PM We could turn this into a tank sim! Not the best in the world mind you... But what other 2 year old sim lets you drive tanks and vehicles along with airplanes? None! IP: Logged
Werner Molders JAG	posted 05-09- 10:24 PM Our Tank DM is better than Panzer Commanders'... If it weren't for my commitment with the JG3 I'd seriously start up an online Armoured Regiment once this pack comes out. Werner ------------------ Visit Abbeville Field Today! IP: Logged
Psi Pilot	posted 05-09- 10:49 PM Sorry for the lack of air support that day PR P IP: Logged
Gecko Pilot	posted 05-10- 01:11 AM You know, perhaps now is the time when we can start bugging the Patch team to fix the bug (yes, it's a bug as it's in the specs) so that tires can be targets for the engines. Should this be implemented, then we would have a proper vehicle simulation in SDOE. It's not like the team has to much work on their hands already or anything . How about it, folks? -Gecko =FC= IP: Logged
Pye Pilot	posted 05-10- 12:15 PM lets call it 'WWII Online' FOR World-at-war scoop ------------------- the other world at war is boasting being the first with user controlled in all enviroments well we just got a few more user controllable vehicles , need the infantry,, ship,, and WE can SUE them for taking our claim for the first, then invest all the millions of $/� into new 1.7ghz pc's for all of us and some for our favourite charity of course!

Vmartini Cadet	posted 05-19- 02:10 PM can the AI control/shoot at ground units yet? a possible feature is getting the big coastle guns that on dover and africa(are they on rhineland? haven't found them yet.) to shoot at you. IP: Logged
