[+baffmeister 1,205]

A very desired target!

[+russouk2004 6,958]

Update...nearly finished...will make the oil containers as primary and secondary targets.

[+Florian 394]

Wonderful work on this!!!

 

Now all we need is Bruce Willis chasing Ben Affleck with a shotgun...

Nice, your a legend Russ. : Perfect for a certain beautiful new Sea King to rescue people from!

[+russouk2004 6,958]

Just completing the mapping...and collision points for targets and its done...few days yet,should done by weekend..

[+russouk2004 6,958]

ok its all mapped except for heli pad ...doing that now...then im sorting the target areas of the rig...should be up soon...

:good:

[+russouk2004 6,958]

ok ...basically done...just need ini help for various things..

Heli pad

Lights

Targets...currently set 3 sets of oil tanks as primary secondary targets etc...

just need volunteer to set as target,and sort the inis for me...

...I will do damage lods for the containers that are targets later.

[+russouk2004 6,958]

ok these 3 sets of containers are target 1 2 and 3...do I make them as seperate lods placed via ini within the rig model...or can I have them as targets within the lod of the whole rig model.?...

[+PureBlue 71]

If you have them as separate lods, is there a possibility the rig foundation would collapse and the tanks would stay in the air?

[+Gepard 11,295]

As far as i know it is impossible to destroy only parts of a ground object. But there is the way to make a damaged lod and a destroyed lod, so that you has the oil rig in 3 destructions tiers: full intakt, partly destroyed and full destroyed.

 

If you send me the file via PM i will try to play with the ini file.

The first ingame pics. F-20 attack on an Oilrig near Khark Island.

 

First run. View through HUD on Oilrig and tanker

 

 

second run, dropped one bomb, hit.

 

 

third run, view on the damaged oil rig.

 

 

forth run, dropped all bombs i had. Now the Oil rig burns.

 

 

big, dark smoke mark a successfull strike

 

 

Bye, bye! See you later!

Nice 1 Gepard...you think its size is ok?

[+Soulfreak 6,524]

I thing it´s too small...

[Wilches 1,172]

Very much larger indeed. Perhaps it needs a new fire and smoke effect, once the fire in a platform is HUGE!

[+Gepard 11,295]

I think the size is okay. At the moment i have a problem with a time lag when the oil rig is destroyed. The game freeze in for around 1 second after destruction of the oil rig..

[+PureBlue 71]

I think it's kind of small too.

[+Florian 394]

Don´t compare the tanker to the oil rig, as i believe the tanker is to big in game.

[+Julhelm 266]

@ Russo: IMO the random texel density on various surfaces detracts from the modelling, which is superb, rather than complements it. When you texture environment stuff like this, it is generally a good idea to decide on a certain pixel density (say 64px per meter which is ok for a flight sim) and use that as a target when texturing. Right now your tanks are very high res while the buildings and the deck is very low res, which just looks wrong. It will look much better with a cohesive resolution.

[+JimBeamer5 23]

Russ, any updates on this beauty??

I made this screenshot to give you a better chance to compare the size of the oil rig. I placed a stock warehouse1 object beside the oilrig. You can see, that it has approximatly the same square size. Warehouse has around 50X50 meters.

I think it is a more or less real size of a normal oil rig.

 

[+JimBeamer5 23]

Michael, can you put a Sea King on the helo platform so we can see a comparison? A standard IFR helipad should be 100X100 ft (30X30m), while the Landing and Lift-Off Area (the circle with the H) should be 50ft (15m) diameter. These are minimums BTW, so of course they can be larger.

Any update on this one guys?

Not at the moment, my son had broken the joystick, so it is a little bit difficult to fly.
