Precision Ballistics and Munitions

== Precision Ballistics and Munitions ====== =========== Fallout New Vegas ============== == Author: Silvie ===== 29/06/2013 ===== ============================================ No more hitscan. Real bullets, real ballistics, real precision. == Installation = Merge the data folder to your Fallout: New Vegas Data folder. == Description = If you hate hitscan, then this is the mod for you. The precision you need, today! It comes in four components: Bullet Fixes No Hitscan No Tracer Extra Round And should be loaded in that order. \'Bullet Fixes\' makes some weapons with blatantly incorrect casings use more appropriate custom case models. For example, the . 22 Silenced Pistol will now eject properly sized casings, as will 10mm and 9mm weapons. Future version will include even more specific casings for every caliber. \'No Hitscan\' removes hitscan for every projectile based weapon in the game. No longer will sniping feel like a laser. You will need to lead and account for bullet drop depending on the weapon you use. For example, 5. 56mm rifle and . 308 cal have some of the fastest velocities in the game, with a flat trajectory to match. In contrast, low powered ammo such as 9mm or . 22LR bullets have much slower muzzle velocities and will thus be harder to hit with at range. All velocites and gravity coefficients were calculated using real world values for every bullet. Velocity of real world ammo is rated in feet-per-second, and these were converted to in-game units. All of this gives the shooting game a more kinetic feel. An added layer of complexity that makes it much more fun. You feel like you\'re shooting bullets. Not lasers. The precision you need is here! \'No Tracer\' removes all tracers for every projectile. This is for the \'realists\' out there, as no weapon in real life magically spits tracers unless using specially made tracers rounds. \'Extra Rounds\' is the counter to \'No Tracer\'. It will (coming soon) provide obtainable tracer ammunition that can make firing weaponry much easier at range. You will be able to see how far the bullet is dropping, and thus be able to make the proper adjustments to hit the target. It can also help when firing a gun from the hip (if you have crosshairs disabled!). At the moment, the mod changes the . 50MG incendiary to have a visible tracer and flare. Incendiary rounds in real life tend to have an active burning component that allows them to be traced in the air. == NOTES == You should load Bullet Fixes (first) and No Hitscan (second). The last two are optional, but greatly contribute to a realistic feeling when firing automatic weaponry. Load No Tracer (third) and then Extra Rounds (fourth) if you are choosing to use them. When firing with projectiles - not lasers - you should be aware of the fact that the projectile will spawn from the gun\'s barrel and shoot off outwards to wherever the barrel was pointing at.
