Santa's wishlist for BMS

@Xeno I don’t really care but it’s better than nothing.

If you don’t care … and if bullshit features are better than nothing, then display labels. Same effects, same results.

Provide documents.
Is a passport and driver’s license okay…?

@Dee-Jay
Labels? No not at all, that’s not at all the same thing.
Even if the real system is classified, doing what DCS has done is far better than nothing. -
F-16 (it’s in DCS, even half-baked I want this aircraft).
-
I want 120’s I can shoot from the Ramp that will take down all enemy within a 50nm radius… all by themselves. maybe call them 150’s…

AI-controlled gunship like AC-130, could have dedicated code for circling / flypass tactics, with bursts of gunfire tracers pouring at targets.

Graphical damage modeling like torn out fuselage or wing.
Does BMS supports multiple hitboxes per object? That would be needed first and iirc it was mentioned in some thread by devs that code is there, 'tho I don’t know if it’s enabled.
Then damage visuals, it shouldn’t require too much of compute power, all in al Il2 sim did it twenty years ago.Yes it does
-
@Bad-Boy
So for enchanced damage visuals what would be needed are:- updated 3D models with proper damage lods
- some code to trigger damaged lod, parts breaking off animation,
- code to allow punctured aircraft skin effect
- code to allow spawning broken of parts.
I guess the first point being most time-consuming as models would have to be much more detailed than the ones we have.
Is my guess correct?
That’d be one of those features nice to have, but can live without it.
I think guys who do lots of BMF would really appreciate it. -
@Xeno Visually speaking, we are thinking about it but it is a long way…
The concept of hit boxes is to determine which system would fail depending on zone hit.

@MaxWaldorf
Thanks Max, it’s great to hear it is considered. I agree it’s gonna be lots of work both for coders and 3D artists. -

Remarkable work thanks to the creators.
Wow! I would love to see that complexity of 3d buildings in Korea combined with the new terrain.

Thanks Max, it’s great to hear it is considered. I agree it’s gonna be lots of work both for coders and 3D artists.Considering the fact that this is totally eye candy (as we already have faults and airframe FM damages modeled) I think we might have much higher priorities
-
@Mav-jp
I’m pretty sure there are higher priority items on your (team) list
'tho visual damage check would be nice. As said, it’s (very) nice to have, not a must for me. -
@molnibalage @Reaperdog1 That theater from Dr.Tomcatz was ahead of its time for BMS. Sadly long time no hear after his “separation”.
It was mostly his own work , his models, textures… and it all worked.
Roads, links, … even trians,… not like some other …
Who knows maybe the time has changed., and btw campaign creation is the easiest part… in all that “kolbas”. What it was 128x128 ? -

Insane amount of polys, no LODs, no hitboxes, insane amount of “Objectives” beyond engine capabilities, … etc … Campaign would have been impossible to run.
We tried to explain the issues to Tom but he didn’t cared at all.
Molnibalage is right. -
@Dee-Jay Perhaps Many use a CPD, so why is a BL70 reason to joke about, help me understand
-
@Dee-Jay I see. Sorry then. I didn’t have clue about non-lods, yeah that makes it huge black hole in cpu/gpu cyles.
But hey, it must be beautiful then
