I have put it into the MODS folder but for some reason i don't see and smoke trails, the A/C i used was the Spitfire Mk1, could that have something to do with it?
Gonna test it out with some other planes now tho.

** edit its working looks like its just stock it works on **

I hope they'll help you to improve your mod. Btw, the Bf-109F-2 in game arms firing has the nice spiralled trails, IMHO the best and most natural looking of all planes in game... Is that possible to make something like these? :wink:

Once again, thank you for you work.

My best wishes,
Mangas.

i think this had been noted before, but i will bring it up again........

you will see that the reason behind the "spiral" effect on the guncam footage is quite simply because the camera is fixed to the wing, when you fire the gun it gives a circular motion on the camera which in turn gives a spiral effect to the smoke when recorded on film. the smoke trails them selves dont actually have a major spiral effect, it is just enhanced through the camera vibration.

Very nice, like in guncam's really.

Thx for your work!

To danger: you're partly right about camera shaking, but all weapons in ww2 were grooved, not smoothbore, so every fired bullet/shell moved by spiral, that's why the traces SHOULD look accordingly... :wink:

To stuka_40: thank you for your nice reply...

Btw, I experimented a little with your mod to get that ww2 gun cam shooting style I was asking you for:

Hope you don't mind it. It's still your invention, your work and all the credits of cource go to you...
What do you think?

Respectfully yours,
Mangas.

Although this is a nice mod effect, is still does not give a true representation of real tracer smoke unless viewed from the camera......
nice work though stuka 40. keep it up mate

I think its nice, you can change tga file to whatever you want, but your spiral effect already in game, not in all aircrafts but specially in Fw-190 serie!

This is original bullet trail from game.
