# Overview
|
|
||||||
## Advanced ballistics simulation
|
|
||||||
The advanced ballistics module improves projectile physics by simulating internal and external ballistics. Factors used in the simulation include:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Ambient air pressure, temperature and humidity
|
# Overview
|
||||||
- Wind drift
|
The advanced ballistics module improves internal- and external ballistics.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Features
|
||||||
|
- Drag modeling based on real-world ballistic coefficients.
|
||||||
|
- Ambient air density (air pressure, temperature, humidity) affects drag.
|
||||||
|
- Wind affects drag and deflects the trajectory.
|
||||||
|
- Wind speed varies with altitude.
|
||||||
|
- Terrain features, buildings and other objects disrupt the wind.
|
||||||
- [Magnus effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect) (spin drift)

## Advanced drag model
|
|
||||||
Realistic drag modeling based on the G Model and real-world ballistic coefficient data.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Wind simulation
|
|
||||||
Wind speed varies with altitude. Terrain features, buildings and other objects disrupt the wind.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Bullet trace effects
|
|
||||||
Supersonic bullets have a refraction effect due to air pressure waves.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Protractor
|
|
||||||
Adds a protractor for quickly measuring inclination angle.

# Usage
|
||||||
Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>K</kbd> while using a compatible weapon to toggle the protractor. The red line indicates the current inclination angle in degrees. The protractor will disappear if you lower or holster your weapon.
