Fortran posted two new videos of his upcoming F-117A with FLIR/DLIR Sensor & Laser Self-Designation.
As a few of you may have seen in the "stuff you are working on" thread, my current project is creating an F-117A NightHawk for Arma II. Alongside modelling/texture/export and config work for the jet I have also been working on a script set to attempt to emulate the "real-life" weapon and user systems found on-board.
As most of you may know the F-117A is capable of self-designating its targets for the GBU-27's, or other laser-guided payloads, via it's FLIR and DLIR sensors. The actual exact method of how it does this is still classified, but after reading pretty much everything I could find I have a fairly good idea of how it works. I really wanted to try and incorporate these systems into my version of the F-117A and as I said, am trying to build up a set of scripts which will allow the player to feel (as much as I can) that he is actually using these to some extent.
Currently this is still very much WIP but I thought I would share where I am at so far and get some feedback from you guys. Currently I am only working on the DLIR sensor, which is used after its forward looking counterpart, as the plane enters above the target area. The basic idea for the final version will be the target is selected from the forward sensor then final adjustments and firing will be passed to and carried out by the downward sensor, am also planning to implement a good navigation system and GPS etc. Try to ignore the visuals/GUI at the moment as im still working at it as I go, but the concept is slowly coming together.
Here are a couple of videos featuring the downward sensor, the first in daytime conditions and the second at night. As I said still very much a WIP.
