Possible Aircraft shake when GAU-8 is Fired ?

Hello,

Ok question is can we get the Aircraft HUD to shake when GAU-8 is fired ?

check video

would be great if could get this to work :)

Thanks

That's the camera shaking, not the HUD. The pilot doesn't see the HUD vibrate like that.

I actually asked a current A-10C pilot when he was flying our A-10C at a trade show whether we should add a little vibration to blur the view when firing the gun. He said no.

Maybe instead of "view"-vibration add some airframe vibration? I'm not going to believe the airframe isn't shaking like hell when you fire that beast..

Airframe vibration would cause the HUD to vibrate, no? After all the device that projects the HUD is a part of the airframe....

Don't think so really, the HUD is collimated..

Well, you can imagine that the aircraft vibrates, since you wouldn't be able to see or feel it anyways. :thumbup:

Why not?

I'm talking about the device that is inside the dash and actually projects the HUD image onto the glass. If the airframe shakes, wouldn't that device shake as well?

Also LOL at the idiots on YouTube who can't tell the difference between real footage and game footage.

Well, if there is vibration, I would imagine that it would be in excess of 60 cycles/second and if the amplitude were small enough you might not see it.

I'm sure the GAU has some type of vibration absorption built in. It might slow the plane some but the vibration would be similar to a car motor. You don't feel the vibrations as the cylinders fire in a car.

you can always select the key combination for the head shaking inside cockpit

before firing the gun...is not much but it is something

the real hog pilots can even -smell- the gun:D

I set up a trigger via USB. Everytime I pull the trigger for the GAU-8, it sens a small pulse to a small brass bowl here on my desktop. Put a small amount of gunpowder in it. Gets the room smelling REAL Nice :)

You do understand that speed washes out any recoil and vibration from the gun.

Please elaborate. :huh:

With the "enable head movement by g-force" option enabled you can definitely descern a subltle shaking when firing the gun.

It's the most apparent looking at the outside edge of the viewpoint, if that makes any sense.

Yes - 4200rpm = 70hz.

Please elaborate. :huh:

 

:thumbup: I think the aircraft velocity on final (add to that the stabilization by PAC-1) removes the gun shake simply because the gun is below the pilot and the recoil is overrun by the engines thrust.

Well, obviously the camera that records the HUD shakes, so there is something going on.....is the framerate of the HUD camera at just the right speed to capture the vibration?

Of course there is something going on ...

But if you can also see it with your own eyes while sitting in the aircraft , there is sure something wrong with your neck and the natural ability of your brain to cancel out this shaking.

Please make a simple test next time you you wash your cloth:

First just simply sit on the washing machine while it is in a high spin ...and than press your head directly against it ,to see why the camera shakes.

:)

Serious:

Simulating such vibrations via visuals is plain wrong.

Get a buttkicker instead.

The camera amplifies the vibration.

+1 I think it just doesn't worth it to implement it. Of course you feel a shaking but I hardly think it's really noticeable, it must be an high frequency vibration and if you're based on the camera motion that can be pretty wrong cause it may absorb the vibration differently. Well it's hard to know, I have never fired the gatling personally lol

Just shake your head in a violent manner when you fire it. Problem solved.

Rep..

Or stick your tongue out and make a raspberry noise. Makes for a messy monitor, so have lots of screen wipes ready.
