Info for VR labels


Paletus

Recommended Posts

Hola:

Estoy intentando hacer unas etiquetas realistas para usarlas en realidad virtual y necesitaria saber unos datos:

Volando a 4000 pies de altura en un dia despejado, a que distancia aproximada se veria un blanco terrestre.

Y volando a 6000 pies de altura en dia despejado, a que distancia aproximada se veria un blanco aereo.

Muchas gracias.

 

 

Hello:

 

I'm trying to make some realistic labels to use them in virtual reality and I need to know some data:

 

Flying at 4000 feet on a clear day, how far would a pilot see a ground target.

 

And flying at 6000 feet on a clear day, how much distance a pilot would see an air target.

 

Thank you.

I wish it were that simple :) Regarding air targets , size and aspect range will give you quite a difference in visual acquisition range . Are we talking an L39 or an Il-76 ? Tail-on or broadside ?

 

Similarly , for ground targets , are we talking a ZSU or a powerplant ?

 

What you are really interested in is minutes of angle .

I would generally have a play with the options Paletus.

 

It's all very highly subjective....

 

Different color sky, ground summer/winter, sea, aircraft paint. To name just a few variables.

 

Predicting Visibility of Aircraft

Howell carried out a field study in which pilots attempted to detect another aircraft (DC-3) approaching on a collision course.

 

(DC-3) collision course Over various conditions (detection distance)

5.5 to 8.7 km

3.4 to 5.4 Miles

 

Knew exactly the approach angle of the target aircraft

17.3 to 23 km

10.7 to 14.9 Miles

 

About three times larger than the detection distance.

 

Here is a few post about making and using a label.

 

1) First post how to install and modify a label.

 

2) 2nd post has a label attached for VR.

 

 

ED has now updated the visibility options, so the file you copy is now a little different because of the label options under game play.

 

This is what it looks like for ground units.

Hello

David thanks for the links, I had seen them looking for information to modify the labels.

I need some approximate values about the visivility of targets, I do not need that they are very precise.

Suppose it is a clear day, summer, on land, and we do not know where the target is.

White air: F-18 on collision course, same altitude, tail on.

Terrestrial white: M1a2 Abrams, located on a runway or road, tail on.

It does not have to be an exact measurement only an approximate measure of when we would begin to see the target in real life, to make it begin to see the label.

Thanks again.

PD: Sorry for my English, I'm using the google translator.
