    I’m trying to simulate a 24 mortar rack, 4 rows of 6 at various angles, to show as if fused to shoot one mortar at a time, working its way back and forth like a zipper cake. I can’t get the VDL to show more than one shot total

    Are you having creating the effect? Or trouble adding the shells to your script/timeline/show? Or trouble creating the rack? Or getting your shells to go into the rack? Or something else?

     

    You mentioned fusing, would you like all 24 shells chained together on a single chain fuse? Do you have a picture of the mortar rack you’re trying to simulate?

    I have mortar racks consisting of four angled racks with six mortars each, for a total of 24. I like to fuse them perpendicular to the racks so that each angle takes turns going off. I usually set them off sequentially in a Z pattern with anywhere from a quarter second to five seconds between each mortar canister shot.

    Here’s a video that demonstrates how to create a 24 shot fanned mortar rack, create a shell for the rack, chain-fuse shells together, and load shells and chains into the rack.

    Is this rack simulation also possible at the Hobbyist level ?

    Hi Pyro_Gweedo,

     

    the visual presentaion and layout of racks is oly available in the Pro Version. The Hobbyist version provides a list with the needed racks !

    Dirk is exactly right. the visual rack layouts and diagrams are a key feature of the Pro version, they aren’t available in Lite or Hobbyist.

     

    – Lite has no concept or racks

    – Hobbyist lets you calculate the quantity of racks needed

    – Pro lets you calculate rack quantities, visually drag & drop racks, and print rack layout and site layout diagrams. In the future, Pro will also have 3D rack diagrams.
