[Vehicle] Mi-24V Hind

[Grober]

Thats right!

1p lod0
1p lod1


Ofc im not showing u all what i have but to those parts i can put "ready" stamp
but reason why im posing it here cause im hoping for some feedback and some bug finding

Seems a little strange to approach it from the 1p first Grober? You might run into some topology issues this way. I would personally advise doing the fuselage first.

From what I understand there is more than just the cockpit/passenger compartment, but it's not shown in the screens. Those look good so far though (smoothing groups need finishing, judging by the screens?). Looking forward to seeing the rest.

Also, I wouldn't bother with creating working instrument panels. It was thought of in the past for helis in PR, but deemed too much work to implement for every single one of them (and it's either all or nothing).

Ye I think Tim can see that but I agree with him, the approach is quite strange, at least how its being shown...

There are quite a few issues that need fixing up and overall need more detail in the cockpits but I would first take all the bits from the 3p chopper that you can use then add detail to the interior, removing the bits you can't see so you don't have massive gaps round the side etc, then add all the details like instrument panels etc.

Biggest problem with this concept is 1, requires a massive workaround with an extenal .exe etc reading memory and then moving these parts but the biggest problem is 2, we can only have a limited amount of moving parts on a chopper, even if they are not netwrokabled, which basically totally threw this concept back in our faces as it meant even if we put all this work into it, we could only have a few our of all the gauges we made, working...

As such, this concept was pretty much scrapped but by all means, make a nice detailed 3D cockpit, just don't bother making separate needles etc and just have them as part of the 2D texture etc


Also one thing I think you guys missed from the R-COM forums you asked ages ago:

You just need to config the pilot/passenger cams to tell them what lod to view when in use.

Its a very good thing to do and can also mean that the passengers don't need to load the high rez cockpit textures if they are separated from the 1p passenger textures via a different sheet. TBH something we should have done for the Z-9/Panther series but didn't cross my mind at the time


As for Rotating fans, possibly but there is a limit to the amount of moving parts you can have on a vehicle which is one of the main reason why we dropped the idea of working cockpits / 3D HUDs.

Ye, since another dev said no, but then I saw the post a few days later and corrected it with that post, but ddeo never replied to mine to say he had seen it or forwarded it to you

Bad ddeo! Very bad ddeo! No dindins for you tonight!

I really cant say how I hope you go though this , my favorite helicopter and it should be in PR for a long time

[Microwaife]

Yeah, you should try to finish this. Nice helicopter and we can use this for Syrian Uprising Mod, if you allow it.
