AH-64D Apache (WIP)[Halted]

[War Men]

Because my video card is broken, pic:

So i can't really continue this project until i buy a new video card... of fix this one
If anyone can help me with anything please PM me or post in this topic, thank you

This scene is about the AH-64D Apache helicopter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AH-64_Apache. Im using the Israeli "saraph" Apache texture its a lot cooler and better.
il do my best to make this as realistic as possible
it will have all of the weapons (M230 Chain gun, Hydra 70 Missile, and the Hellfire missile)
Thanks to kilinich for the KL-probe and the mouse controlled gun and the engine


The Helicopter:
i am using kilinich's helicopter engine and the rotor animation script (thanks anyway kilinich!)
it is real size as the real helicopter.
Pics:


and im going to add the exhaust smoke and other things and also its going to be destructible! like kilinich's mi-24 scene.
Update
now with speedometer box, and other things..
Pics:


The weapons panel will be added later.

The Weapons:
The Hughes M230 Chain Gun a 30 mm, single-barrel automatic cannon with the High-explosive incendiary (HEI) Cartridge

On impact:


The Hellfire missile
still beta (no homing system)


On impact:


The Hydra 70 Missile:


On impact:


Update
Now with the new Explosion Cutter (like kilinich's mi-24 scene, that's where i got the idea anyway....)
Pics:


still not perfect though......
and yess i am using kilinich's tower now.... The tower © Kilinich

Sorry for the no Update for the past weeks...
But i have finaly fixed my computer (about damn time....) and i can continue the project:
i have done the breakable apache:


And a short demo video:


soo tell me what you think
soo... should i continue this??
plz tell me what to improve ill do my best.
and also plz comment!

[Kilinich]

It looks very cool! I think it will be fun to fly some war mission.

[Rideg]

THIS I look forward to. It has a chance of making it to the top

[RA2lover]

dang - looks like someone did my idea before i got up to it(missile related only).

btw, is there a need to use the same texture over and over?

[Under Ground]

Looking really nice
If you want any help with making your Chopper textureless, just PM me

[electronicboy]

Good pictures, looks great.
can't wait for it to be uploaded!
looks like a 10/10 all ready!

[War Men]

Thanks For your comment but i am afraid i can't continue this until my computer is fixed and formatted. im using my old computer and my new classmate pc here so its soo laggy...
any way i just updated it! now with the new explosion cuter (just like kilinich's mi-24 scene!), but with a problem.. : http://www.algodoo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2373 <- Click! can you help??

EDIT:
someone already helped me! it works...

[Kilinich]

Looks like it will lag a lot

[Dare]

Looks epic. cellers is working on a similar project, maybe you will be competing with him.

P.S. Where did you get the texture?

[War Men]

i got the textures from google, i think it is from clavework graphics and i edited it my self, the spedometer box is from google too and also edited by me.

[Dare]

Wow, thanks! There are some great textures here! Can you tell us a date of when you might upload it?

[War Men]

Can you tell us a date of when you might upload it?

i don't know. and as i said earlier i can't continue this until my computer is fixed an formatted.

[cellers]

Nice scene !
but it is so similar to the scene of Kilinich.

and i think this would be a very good scene! and please check out mine! very similar i think....
good luck!

i don't think so

I'll also use animation screws from Kilinich and his engine, but his scene - simulator based on the scripting side of the simulator, but I'll try to do some real mechanisms. (like gears, ejecting systems (yes, KA50 have ejecting system ))

[War Men]

(yes, KA50 have ejecting system ))

Ejecting system!?!? wow.... O_O very rare for a helicopter....
anyway i use thyme much cos it is less laggy

[cellers]

You're more surprised that the ejection system ejects the pilot up! Where the screws. Russian designers have solved the problem with the screws after a few pilots have turned into mincemeat. Joke. They solved the problem immediately.

[RicH]

It ejects the rotor blades while it ejects the pilot?

[cellers]

It ejects the rotor blades while it ejects the pilot?

nope. it synchonize blades
but in reality was a system in which the blades were shot from the axis of the screw.

there is cut from article:

Second Ka-50 marked the beginning of helicopters equipped with pilot ejection seat even 10 years on the ass like that was considered impossible because it is fired up just a plane that sweeps away the rapidly rotating propeller on the Ka-50 ejection occurs in just 2 seconds - after the pilot blows over the proper handle, once jettisoned blades of both propellers dropped canopy, a special jet device makes people up at the same time opens the parachute It is worth adding that the ejection may at any altitude, starting from zero.

and my ejection seat:

[RicH]

So, it shoots the propeller when it ejects the pilot? I don't understand.

[War Men]

Ask Wikipedia

For improved pilot survivability the Ka-50 is fitted with a NPP Zvezda K-37-800 ejection seat, which is a rare feature for a helicopter. Before the rocket in the ejection seat deploys, the rotor blades are blown away by explosive charges in the rotor disc and the canopy is similarly jettisoned.

and seriously, why don't you post that question at celer's KA-50 topic? : http://www.algodoo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1863

[cellers]

Yes and No.
There are two types of ejection.
1. Releasing the screw blades.
2. Synchronization of screws. (Designed for Ka52 Alligator where the carriage 2 people , tested at Ka50)

You may ask me by PM

[Rrobba]

Look's amazing, nice textures!

[RicH]

(yes, KA50 have ejecting system ))

anyway i use thyme much cos it is less laggy

Why did you ask that here then?

[War Men]

I sorry foe the no updates/reply's.....
but i managed to get my computer working again....
see the first post too see the updates
i cant continue this because my old computer cant run the scene's (only 1-10% realtime) but my new computer is fast 100% realtime...

[cellers]

Video is blocked.

But is looks nice on your screenshots. You shold work on screen effects (add small pieces when crashing and other, i think.
