Tracers Rounds (From SimHQ) - Page 2

"of course they are. if in place of your eyes you have camera lens and shutter working on slower speeds than your usual vision is, then they are perfect."

That's right, "lasers" are to be seen when recorded on videos or on photos, but not when directely see by human eyes (I've been AA gunner on 20mm canons).

I do hope that the "lasers" could be switchable in the game setup, as an effect, because there are "an effect".

Thing is ... I've not seen real tracers and a lot of people who will buy the game haven't either. I've only seen video which as has been mentioned, is not how they look to the eye.

So they don't look un-natural to me and nor will they bring any more immersion-wise if they are changed to what you are proposing ( er.. what are you proposing they look like ? )

So simple economics dictates that the devs aren't going to spend more time tweaking something that only 1%-5% of potential customers are likely to notice are not quite 100% "real" looking. And even then, I tend to believe that the devs may actually have looked at tracers too and be pretty close.

Vasilj_Mitu, dont' care too much about Swiss (1), he's just compeeting on the "who's the top fanboï" competition.

"So they don't look un-natural..."

They are completely un-natural, as least for the cannon I served on (the Oerlikon 54, basically a WWII improved design), never saw during all my military service as a gunner any "lasers". What you see, when you fire is some kind of "group of points" (the glowing backs of the bullets).

Sure they can have their opinion. We had this discussion already, it's not gonna change. What should this discussion be good for?

And thats exactly what you see in this game with the timing set to "short" in the recording settings!

So, it's perfect, if it is settable this way.

Swiss, are you some kind of moderator ?

If not...

I guess they don't - otherwise that would turn the whole U.S.A. into "Bush's" own country. As we know, they are not.

Btw, which part?
