Low-lag radar subassembly

5,910 UltravioletBlood  2 months ago

Helios Engineering APA-285 is a phased array aircraft radar. Free to use as a subassembly, just grab the rear part and save it.


While it has a lot of parts, the performance cost is relatively low because instead of fuselage parts, simple resized blocks are used for individual antennas (their performance cost is 1 compared to 2.4 for fuselages)


(the subassembly is to be used for aesthetic\realism purposes and has no additional functionality)

    It's nice, but damn, 273 parts. I'd have probably used the base mesh of the small rotators to save some parts but maybe that would have been too thick

    Very nice though

    @Kerbango yea, i know about the text trick, but it's 2d and low-res (and on higher res the lag is abysmal). Thats an option too though, i just wanted more realism
