Hi,

the last weeks i found some time to work on the damagemodel system again. I already wrote about the new introduced bullet drag calculation( bullets now lose speed). The needed adjustments in the flight files are done now.

Additionally i was looking for the hitbubble code. For now we had 8 different round hitbubbles. Pilot, Tail, Fuselage mid, Fuselage front, inner left wing, outer left wing, inner right wing and outer right wing.

Appart from the pilot, its impossible to get realy good adjustment with round hitbubbles. If we adjust the fuselage bubble radius to fit to the fuselage radius, there will will much space between the bubbles, this will be a bad disadvantage while shooting with big deflection angles. If we make the fuselage bubbles bigger, to fill up the fuselage length, it will be way to easy from strait 6o clock.
With the wings its even worse, cause wings are extreme flat but long with a big width.
For now i had to adjust the bubbles so that some parts of the planes did stay uncovered(wingtips, parts of the fuselage and parts of the wingarea). Now the wing hitbubbles cover the whole wing length and the fuselage bubbles the fuselage, without the need of a extraordinary radius.

This will make shooting with deflection more easy and the feeling of shooting through the plane without result will be gone.

Now i introduced at least long bubbles.

Thanks for your efforts Knegel

Cheers

good work ralf...
now i might be able to hit something m8!

Hi Ralf,

Curious as to what these 'Wing Hit Bubbles' really look like.

If I've read your description correctly they must look something like this?



Could you show the community, in a visual form, just what these 'New Hit Bubbles'
your proposing look like.

Great!

Many thanks for your great work!

where it is! where I find it! I want it now!

Hi David,

roundabout this is EAW1.2( i think the bubbles are rather even more big):



This EAWrp, including the EAW1.28e FM/DMīs.



This is the new way:



One picture tell more than thousand words.(thanks for the hint )

It will be under the Christmastree, so dont place to many other stuff there or you wont find it.

Hi Ralf,

Right that does explain alot.

I have a whole bunch of HitBubble addons that you created by in 2002.
HitBubblev4.2. seems to be the last one you created.

Since, I don't use 1.28e exe, is that okay to use with 1.28 exe.

Was also wondering, will this new enhanced HitBubble addon be made available,
as a stand alone, for low end users with older systems?


Cheers mate and Merry Christmas
David

Wow! Now that is just the ticket...

The new hitbubbles look great. 1.28e has really made it tough on my bad aim...but it has made it fun at the same time. I can't wait to try this new set. Thanks!

Hi David,

EAW1.28 already use the latest of the old FM/DMs. The oval hitbubbles had to be coded in the EAW.exe, its not possible with an external file.

Why cant you run EAW1.28e??
