Bullets/shells dissapearing well before the physics load range

[boomchacle]

when I fire a gun, like the howitzer at a very long distance, the shell will always disappear before it gets to the target. It also always will disappear at the same place. I want to know if they have a different load range for bullets, and, if you can change it, because the physics load range does nothing.

Going to need some specs from you. Like OS, if the game is being forced to run in 64-bit mode on windows (I've ran into this issue in 64-bit, but just chalked it up to 64-bit oddness), other mods that screw with stuff (FAR is a good example, but it alone shouldn't cause any issues), ect.

I do have a 64 bit computer and I have an NVS 5200M GPU

How far away is the target you are trying to hit? (A lot of rounds [including the 105] have a max range)

I wanted to have a long range naval battle, but the rounds dissapeared after about 10 km

[Shuudoushi]

Yeah... Most of the weapons that use cannon shells have a max range of 8 clicks. You can simply go into the configs to change this for the weapons you intend to use.

I.e. This is intended behavior and not a bug of some sort.

<game path>\GameData\BDArmory\Parts\m1Abrams lines 80-81:

maxTargetingRange = 8000 maxEffectiveDistance = 8000

Bump these two out to whatever you want and all should work fine.

Do note, that this can start to cause oddness and that I am in no way responsible if your computer catches on fire or eats your dog or something.

For some reason, I am unable to change config files...

[Shuudoushi]

Simply opening them with notepad++ or w/e should work just fine...

thanks that helped

[Shuudoushi]

If the issue is solved, would you mind closing this issue.

lol I used that software to do other ridiclous stuff to the bombs and cannon, like have a howitzer with no recoil firing 6000 rpm.
