Marker Rockets LAU-68/131 /WP

@hotdog:
Maybe some signal pistols, used by ground units, could be nice.
? … for what purpose?
-
to create some lightning, some illumination, which then could be seen from above. Why, to create some atmosphere. Lightning effects in sim as in real life are always cool.

So … no signal pistols … you are talking about tracers and explosions.
IRL, there is not soooooooo much explosions. I mean … no every seconds. On the FLOT, we would need one flash here and there every 30 to 180s and some tracers … -
Dee-Jay, im talking about everything that creates lighting or illumination on the battlefield. But what you say sounds interesting, once a flash here and there every few seconds. sounds like this could be done very easy, but adds a little to the atmosphere.
this is a signal pistol that i ment. There exists a smaller one, with a paraglider on it.
fast forward to the scene from movie “private ryan” 1:13:25. ofc this is only hollywood. The phrase, “romance of war” i have from a “makeing of video” of saveing private ryan, and specialy from that scene.

add those flashes only where there is an agged unit? and then the flashes for regular combat inside the 10 mile bubble would mix with flashes from further away.
-
In relation to the WP, this would be a great edition to the sim. It was active in AF as I recall. However don’t we have the ability to FAC via the TGP and datalink? (Not taking away from the idea of WP actually working correctly however A.S)
-
I meant this (pic). The AI FAC flights (OV-10D in this case) are Recon planes …“spotting” units (so they also become visible in 2D without JSTAR) and an On Call Cas is coming in with time delay to take care of them.
Would be nice if the OV-10D could “mark” stuff (attack so to speak) with WP-rockets, so humans could pick up the fight visually aswell
and support the efforts.Just ideas to make all fancy-ier
-
Agreed, this is now on my wish list.
-
Ive been after that for a real long time…I would like to be able to load them on a Blk.50 and use it as a FAC and be able to “Mark” for other members of a CAS package…But I havent been successful in persuading anyone with “Power” to have a look and get it done as yet…I think it requires a Code Change or something…But it should would make my day for me I can tell you that…
-
Weasel I hadn’t forgot buddy
It takes time that’s it, we will have that working don’t worry…
-
I know I-Hawk I figured you hadnt forgotten…I know its not exactely on top of the list and I do have faith in you my friend…

molni’s rocket upgrade
Contact him he could help -
molni’s rocket upgrade
Contact him he could helpInteresting… Molni is that a video from BMS? how can you make the rockets release one at a time?
I’m too lazy to search in code right now, if you know already to do with data, it would be better :mrgreen:

It is the question I’ve asked him via PM …
@ Monli … could you post some details here please …?

I did not documented the changes but likely I can “rediscover” again and I will post them here
At least for creating one type of single launched rocket is doable using the S-24 RKT (as I can remember) DB entry. It can be smoke/WP rocket by cloning the smoke type of BDU-33 for the rocket. Of course DB + dat + rack changes are required. I haven’t tried clone the S-24 DB entry, but if it is possible there is nothing (?) what can prevent the more extensive usage, any unguided rocket can be done if somebody make new 3D models.

that is not a problem …

I know, but we also need a concpetion. As I know the number of slots on racks are limited. For rocket pods which has less than X (X < ?) slot, the rockets can be placed into the pod (rack). Above X qty. the rockets are “hidden” as you can see in my test videos. Hayab posted a value for X but I cannot remember the exact value. If rockets are placed in rack it should be made that fins have to be opened after the launch. If they are not made in that way the fins are interferenced with the 3D model of rocked pod, but likely it is not a serious issue only from very close and certain angles would be visible.

JanHas already has them completed in his ALW package. A couple examples:
Before fired
After
There’s one other rocket pod that he did (smaller one) that I don’t have a pic of that does WP
