Viewport position?

[TerceraEscuadrilla 181]

Hello everyone.

Someone could explain how it works exactly the "viewportposition" in ground units and how it affects the ballistics in the game?

 

Thanks

doesnt affect the ballistics

its for units which have an optical system and positions the point of view or where the optics are

I think almost all use the default value of 0.0,0.0,2.3 or somehting like that which places

the point of view at model center at 2.3 meters height

 

long ago I modded a system on wich I placed the optics very high, 100 meters or so to enable it t olook

very far

didnt work out all that good in the end, cause the game engine kinda reduces max optical targeting to 10 km (iirc)

that has been 4 years ago but I think it hasnt changed at all.

Well, as you can see, I have a problem ballistic.

The shots did not reach the goal. Reach approximately 2 km and maximum range. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

The game engine will not account for gravity fall in surface to surface ballistics.

 

You best bet is to make a missile with a low turn rate and wide sensor FOV. Make your system so it can't start from zero elevation. You then basically have a 'guided' shell that will 'arc' over.

Excellent. I will try.
