Hello,

I installed the V5 Mod1 but the smoke is very thin and not so dark as I wish-like in your pictures.
What do I wrong?

Greetings Ace

That is FW200 being hit a lot , smoking about from every part of the plane in that previous picture :lol:
and it is absolutely the extreme of smoke you can get out of plane .
Fighterplanes are with less smoking except when you really hit the right spot .
Please , can you post in here some picture ? that would be helpful to see what you exactly have .

There is still some 2D smoke issue from original 3rdeye smokefirecontrail mod that still remains in those first three mods .
I will give it more time soon and will try to resolve this 2D issue that is happening with smoke trail but I am currently also working on a new project with another forum member and we would like to finish it as soon as possible for release .

Thank you AceKline1

Update: I just tried Mod#1 and this is kind of smoke I got , I have no problemo 8) ,
will try now to get more fighters smoking to see if there is any issue (except for partially some 2D smoke mixed ) but it should be OK .

Intermittent fire with smoother heavy black color smoke rendering and New Blackout Version V5.

It's looks great, see the pictures of Falco just great

Great stuff, epic screenshots!

Epic mate, good stuff and really nice work I'm using mod 1 at the moment

I wonder what other things you could edit with this new animated and 3d volumetric smoke and fire..

Ah, I have a personal request, how about a different mid-air explosion? Something that leaves a cloud for a while and has a more believeable and intense bang to it The default one looks like a fuel-air explosive going off.. basically a fireball.. In some old guncam clips you'll see planes breaking up after an explosion, leaving a medium sized smoke cloud after a rapid flash (more like the explosions in lock-on/black shark perhaps?)

Thank you guys
I really appreciate your kind words , just as with the old sayin' " The sky is the limit " .
Bigger , better more dramatic bang plane explosion would be nice but haven't looked yet in to it at all .
I just need to progress and finish oil blotch splatter windshield animation with Potenz , and this project is very WIP and final textures have to be developed to make it nice and smooth oil mess :lol:
Animation is no problem right now , it's almost done , textures will take a little bit longer to make it real as we can get .
After oil splatter , who knows , if there is a way in finding files that cause plane explosions we can sure make it bigger , better , bad ass dramatic , chaotic , horrifying bang .
Hold on.............

Thank you again
Sincerely,
HolyGrail

Wonderful mod, Holygrail, and awesome screenshots, Falco.However, in the continuous firemod(V5), I seem to be getting lots of smoke, but very little fire and not until the plane breaks up.Any ideas?Thanks in advance.

Hi SkyHigh
Thank you , please give me some minute , I'll take a look in to it , I will install continuous animated fire mod#2 and will try it again to make sure there is not any difference between Mod#1 and Mod#2 except for intermittent or regular continous fire .
I'll be back..........................................................................................................

Holygrail, thanks for prompt reply.On further investigation I find that I get plenty fire shooting down B17F's, but little or none with FW200s, which relates to my previous post.Perhaps this relates to different structure of these bombers? If so, this variety is actually a good thing. Has anyone else had similar findings?

- HolyGrail - 30.12.2008

SkyHigh
do some more testing , FW200 are tough , it depends where you hit the plane , try some more , some fighters , you'll see they all should get lit up like a candle :lol:

Holy,
is it possible to add constant fire to the fuel tanks and "on/off" effect for the engines ?

I really love this mod !

Thank you Carnagexxx ,
it's likely impossible , I know that with original game Oleg's creation , sometimes fire used to go off for a while and then back on but after rather long time , why and to what part it was or it is related I have no idea .
By looking hundreds of GunCams , fire is doing wonders on and off in many plane's spots , how exactly is hit fuel tank behaving when it comes to fire from bullet hole is something that I really have no knowledge .
I remeber Mythbusters , they did some fuel tank bullets hit recreation but their fuel tanks got almost impossible to get lit up from firing rounds and rounds of ammunition in to it .
Of course , we have to take Mythbusters experiments with a grain of salt .
Will the fire sustain ? , or will it go off and back on sometimes ? or will fuel tank explode just shortly after initial fire ?
In one of those youtube guncam footage in first post , even Hurricane's landing gear leg caught fire for short period of time , landing gear leg ? perhaps hydraulic oil ? or incinerary bullets ?
Those are questions which I have no answer to them
