IMO this is one of the BEST simulations on these forums and I thank you all here so much for it and your continued work on it.

Because they have no efecte in Simulator, no description was brought in manual...

but just for info I want to ask the same questions to the master Hpasp!

if you have served in the army and in any Air Defence system, .. you will admire this work 10x !
Maybe Hpasp need really help from staff who can create real 3D area, with 3D moving SNR and Fan-song radar, and real 3D visual Missiles launches from launcher, and real 3D visual Rotation of P12/15/18/19 radar and so one ....look at this:

look well at all this finest details in this Pic's ... incredible, really realistic 3D, and even it can move as real !
(rotate, go Up and down, open/close the door, open/close the fan's windows ...and with finest realistic shadow ! )




isn't really finest realistic made and so beautiful !

is that what you are asking for Redcoalition ?

Suicidal ? because of ANTI RADIATION MISSILE (ARM)? (I suppose !)

and there is complete Battalion Stuff ready !

For SA-3 I found only this free site, BASED ON YOUR OWN SAM SIMULATOR !! you are

may be it's what all want to see after Launching Somme Missiles

Looks impressive. But on the other hand, we can live without it (maybe in the Platinum or Game of the Year edition of SAM sim :))
3D anims sure are a 'nice to have' gadget but it would be better to have new systems implemented in the sim.

THIS MODELS'RE GREAT! Ok, they're "a bit" expensive (the SA-2 Battalion just $650 :D) but still...
It'd be great, but i think that would be pretty hard to implement a 3D engine on SAM Simulator. First because I think that, for exemple, the simulation of objects in the game are "point" simulations. I think (again, not sure) that Hpasp didn't programmed the dimentions for missiles because there's no need for it on the current simulator. But with a 3D engine it would be necessary to implement behavior according to object dimention (for angular momentum, etc), I think that, to have a realistic 3D SAM Simulator would demand a nice work on programming.

If he use a existent engine of some sort of simulator, he'd have to do a complete convertion of all the physics parameters of the game engine, because most of simulator's ballistic simulation isn't complete as the one in SAM Simulator. Then he would have to do animation programming, model behavior, etc, etc... It'd be pretty hard I guess... If, at least, he earn money for that...
But he don't, so I can live without 3D environment.


But the models are really great! If he mananged to do that, would be awesome, but what i really wanted was a SIM with all functions and positions on real SAM Battery. On Acquisition Radar, on Comunications Officer, etc... THAT would be great also..

Kairo, I'm afraid you have to play Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 2 as well
