This mod looks very promising indeed. I can't wait to try it in game!
However, the above mentioned performance hit should be dealt with. It would be nice to have something quite similar without a big hit. Would that be possible?

I have typed in the numbers as shown (on the downlaod site) and I get a message from the webpage:
it looks something like this :
"Hebeph6in koa" (I don't have a Russian alphabet keyboard).
And it doesn't seem to be downlaoding.
Pse can someone assist.
Thanks in anticipation.
I get this same message too ??
Can anyone PM a copy ?

I've tried it in-game: it's absolutely marvelous! I wonder why this thread isn't more popular. It looks exacly like on old gun-camera films. The stock tracer was too much of a straight line, even the new, curly one. I had to disable my Spitfire .303 tracers mod folder though. It looked funny when these smoke trails came from 6 barrels.
And no fps hit (yet). Great job!
PS: Maybe it would be more realistic to shorten the trails to about 80%, but it's just my two cents.

If you want to modify length or burning time of trail open "SmokeBlack_BuletteTrail" file
(~000_Snk_3D_Smoke_Trail_V2\Effects\Smokes\...) and set 'FinishTime' param to positive number (i recomend 4 up to 10), then decrease 'LiveTime'.
P.S.: for fps hit try to attack good convoy, one cruiser, four destroers, one CVE for example :wink:

This looks very good, but I get a FPS hit during long firing periods or are around a lot of gunfire from other planes.
I have a very good system for Il2 and am wondering where this FPS hit comes from.

I can't make this bloomin' mod work. There is no old trail file, and I've put it where it tells me to, yet nothing happens. Don't suppose there are others with this problem? :?
- reflected - 22.06.2009
Disable the "curling smoke trail" mod, and it will work.
However, I've modified the finish time to 1, and the life lenght to 1.7
Less FPS hit, and still looks nice (and more realistic IMHO)
I love this mod!!!
- Boomalot - 22.06.2009
I don't even have that mod! I've searched my whole machine and can find nothing about the thing I need to delete, so what the hell?!
I do however have the GunsmokeMod_v1.0_Mvn and 3rdeye_SmokeFire_Effects mods, will that affect THIS mod? If it did, that's just stupid, because the that 3rdeye mod is wicked sick.
- reflected - 22.06.2009
Run a search in your Il2 folder for the smoke file. Then, you'll see what other mod has it.
- Fryslanboy - 22.06.2009
i've disabled all other effect mods and such kind of stuff, but i don't see any effect of the mod, very strange...
does anyone have a clear answer for this :?:
- Bj - 22.06.2009
Great mod!
But it seems that the Zero/Ki problem is the same on russian aircraft, even after the update :?
Anyone know what to do?

Nope, nothing I do works. How terribly frustrating.
