Managed got many performance charts for planes which still are not on FH RPS. I would like challenge developers or everyone who can do anything for new planes on FH for notice: Have more 80 performance charts for different Australian, British, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Soviet, Sweden, U.S. and minor nation (Finnish, Yugoslavian, Czechoslovak, Holland, Belgian) types. There are (beside other) so swet types as for example: Arado Ar234 Bf109 B2,C1,D1,H1 Bristol Blenheim I CA-12 Boomerang DB-3 Dewoitine D.520 Do 17,217 Douglas DB-7 Fairey Firefly Fiat G.50, G.55 FW 190 A6,A9 Handley-Page Halifax He 111 He 219 Henschel 129 Kawasaki Ki102 Marcel Bloch 152 Morane-Saulnier MS.406 Pe-8 Reggiane Re 2000-2005 SB-2 Tu-2 and many others... All charts are in adobe pdf format file. Would be good some of these types add in FH, i mean. If i can aprove myself wish - would like some of french planes (as D.520), we still have not anyone on FH. What do you think about, are these charts usable? Will someone start develop some of them? If i will can, will help anyone by my technical library. <S> heres one example of chart, He219 UHU:
Hex Based IGoYouGo Airial Combat! LOL The chart looks familiar. Avalon Hill perhaps? We don't have hexes in WB... Imagine a flight model with: 60 degree freedom of movement! HAHAHAHAHA Break break! (huh? Break 60 or 120 degrees? Shall I climb to the next hex? Hey, there are clouds in that hex! Be careful, there is ack in the City Hex!) Maybe I make a Steel Panthers Mod? Call it, Steel Panthers AIR war! Sell your joystick! Retrograde movement time, kids! Just IMAGINE the aircraft are high, never mind the hexes, just imagine the armor facing. WATCH out for that BIG mountain, it's hex may not LOOK high, but it IS, turn your TEXT messages on, no, the forest does not slow your movemnt unless you are flying THROUGH it. Wait.... Um, HEY, you ARE flying through it! Let's go back to the previous saved game, I will send my turn tomorrow. Let's try it with four players next time.
Im bit disappointed by replies here. Cool and distant. No professional interest... Noone answered to my questions: if these charts are usable for FH development and if anyone want introduce to. If coeficients which are in charts can be implemented into FH fm. (my personal opinion is - yes, its technical question only) Well, srry about my enterprise. Bad place for more investigation here. to breedr: looks its from game source which never released. I still dont know more details, but waiting answer by one person from u.s. who should worked directly on it.
Don't read this Sorry, dude. Not meant to insult your intent. We all know you meant well. This is my experience with game design from analogue into machine: Added modifiers are terrible. MULTIPLIERS are much better. It appears the modifiers from a base line according to the chart you showed are ADDED. What I mean is: If at alt 1 speed = x and alt 2 speed = x + 1 And alt 3 speed = x + 3 how can one solve for alt = 4? As far as I know, WB Flight model is FORCE based. Force Modelled flight model. Inertia. Velocity. Vectors. Forces are multipliers, not added to a base figure but applied as a numerator or denominator. WB flight envelope is not determined by consulting a database. It is not table based. It is determined, on the fly, so to speak, a series of very complicated equations, and I will bet you dimes to dollars the only place you will find SUMS in that equation are as parts of quotients and other mathematical words I can't remember. Velocity is not determined by adding and subtracting from a base, it is gotten by multiplying forces. Example: drag increases exponentially as speed increases, it isn't added to, it is multiplied by (insert fancy math symbol here) Okay. I have stumped myself. I shouldn't have smoked all that POT in high school!!! Keep up the good work, okay? Go take a peek at some of the algorythms used in modern force based flight models and you will probably see things a lot clearly than I have explained Hey, design dudes, I didn't say it correctly, right? ps, what game are the tables from? I am a board games fanatic and would love it if I could view them, if you put them on a site somewhere (beware the Avalon Hill Lawyers... I mean, Hasbro Lawyers). AND I really really want to get my hands on a decent set of charts and tables, and I don't care if they are added Modifiers or multipliers.... Weapons of the era of D'Guberval. French 18th and 19th century artillery and musketry and those of their opponents. I play "Nappys" or Napoleonic Wargames.
im no historian, but i found that 109E-1 had either 4xMG17, or 2xMG17+2xMG/FF. nothing about 4xMG17+1xMG/FF. maybe they made some sort of average, since both versions were available? http://www.bf109.com/evolution.html http://204.50.25.179/features00/bf109efc_1.htm http://www.geocities.com/gear_krieg/aircrafts/germany/bf_109e.html
