Ocelotunit Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hi again, Reading about ARBS and DMT, it seems the system was already fielded with the A-4M in the eighties, and it uses a pretty much standard, analoge NTSC camera: http://mil-spec.tpub.com/MIL-A/MIL-A-85055/ Wouldn't be cool to have some "shader" applied on top of the image that mimic the quirks of analog cameras? :) Regards Yeah, similar to the view through the EP-13 sights on the viggen, it has a really cool distorted effect from the camera.

amalahama Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Yep, DMT has a vidicon like the AGM-65A, so expect similar video quality Regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus67 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Hello folks. It's been a long time since I posted anything. This one is just out. Please be kind. I've been read the riot act for not learning how do a proper attack profile. This is a flight test of the ARBS - LST mode. LST stands for Laser Spot Tracking. The ARBS DMT sensor detects a laser spot and locks and tracks it. You can use guided and unguided weapons with the spot.

Tirak Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Cheeky FLIR tease, I approve. This aircraft certain will be very interesting to use, I anticipate a healthy rivalry between A-10C and AV-8B(NA) pilots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ARBS DMT sensor detects a laser spot and locks and tracks it. You can use guided and unguided weapons with the spot. *Sigh* I'm a bit sad to see AUTO mode hasn't changed from last video. In fact, your attack profile is so forced, because in your interpretation of CCRP, you always need to have LoS with the target, in order to put your ASL over the TD. But in reality, AUTO mode was designed to be used at wing level, high altitude deliveries where the target is out of sight, as easy for the pilot as just following ASL cue to reach the release point. And also, release cue can only move along the ASL. At some point of the video, ASL and release cue didn't go together anymore. Regards!

Sealpup Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 In fact, your attack profile is so forced.. I am glad I'm not the only one noticing that. Every time I see them demoing a ground attack, I'm biting my tongue to not scream at the monitor for them to set up their runs better and from farther away. This thing needs to hit early access soon, so people with a bit more knowledge of the tactics can start testing it in a proper attack profile, before any functionality gets truly finalized.

Well, I'm sure they have already changed it since this video is a month old (21 august), and is the same one you discussed, just in the other thread. Its understandable the mistake, you may have not entered this thread since some time ago, and the recent bump by ZQuickSilverZ might have made you think this was a new video. Hopefully there's not that much time left 'til we can test the CCRP by ourselves...:smilewink: Edited September 17, 2017 by BlowTorch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus67 Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Nozzle glow test. The nozzle glow depends on engine jet pipe temperature (JPT) and environmental factors. This is an early test, the final version will be slightly different. 1 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

WAR Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Nozzle glow test. The nozzle glow depends on engine jet pipe temperature (JPT) and environmental factors. This is an early test, the final version will be slightly different. @Zeus67 I know you say that the final version will be slightly different, but I think that it needs to be toned down rather a lot for the daytime flights. It's really only at night that this effect becomes so visible. 02:20 in the hover from a GR9 06:50 from a Spanish AV-8B Most of the video from an AV-8B II demonstrating the hover. Not such a great video but close up of AV-8B vertical takeoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does appear to be quite visible, it just needs to be tweaked for daytime.

Which part of "This is an early test, the final version will be slightly different." don't you understand? Wait for the final effect before filling the thread with nonexistent bug reports. [/rant mode] Really?? I understand all of the post Zeus made but isn't the whole point of this forum for constructive criticism? What's the point of waiting until the final effect if there is a possibility to make a change now, perhaps the programmers believe that the heat glow is visible during the day whereas it is not, certainly at least with my eyes? The effect needs to be dramatically different during the day to be realistic, not slightly, isn't that what we all want, the most realistic simulation of the Harrier.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted November 23, 2017 ED Team Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hi War the point is the W.I.P Image shared by Zues was just a proof of concept, a test, the team is well aware that it needs to be adjusted.

I'm totally aware that this is early days, just wanting to make sure that there wasn't the belief that this glow is also visible during the day.

Zeus67 Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Just so nobody busts an artery due to high blood pressure over the nozzle glow, a time-of-day factor has been included to keep it real. The effect will be updated for other parameters as well.
