Getting some ground objects done for my challenge maps.

Carrier built on the body of an ore transport ship




Integrated optical landing system (OGL1 and 2 only. D3D doesn't like my abusing lights)


A mobile SAM using the TOS-1 rocket platform


A train with SAM/AAA cars

Some more work on the new UCW pack







Making some custom weapon skins too:

I decided the GAU-8 wasn't enough, and slapped some GUV-8700s on the Hog



And the Su-24 gets the funky SPPU-6:

In preparation for next year's WW2 RvB event, I've been developing a radar using animations. It uses the thrust vector buttons to set aircraft altitude to properly calibrate range, and a whole bunch of turrets to do the actual tracking.

I have completed the radar system. It can distinguish targets with a separation greater than 3.75 degrees, and can track up to 24 targets if perfectly spaced. On the left is the radar view from the nose showing a 45deg cone around the centerline of the aircraft. The righthand scope is a top-down view from 45deg left to 45deg right and a maximum range of 18 miles from 20,000ft, with an altitude calibration. Altitude is set with thrust vector keys, and night mode is on bomb bay animation.
