Sonic Boom Mod? - XB-49 - 17.10.2009
Would it be possible for someone to create a "sonic boom" effect for PeterD's new F-86? Which I recently noticed had supersonic capability. And if so, will it be difficult?
Thanks in advance,
XB-49

im no programmer but i think it'll take a lot of tweaking around in the game files, since a ME 262 H-II is also supersonic in a slight dive, and btw, you'd need 2 tweak the blackouts 2 because you go black waaaay 2 fast otm with supersonic speed

good idea!

This has been asked many times and no-one has done it. Many modders said that is impossible or really hard to make.

Well one idea to do it. I have no idea if you could even modify it to do this but...
When the plane reaches the speed of sound you could have a cloud and a little shockwave that appears and dissapears on the aircraft when that certain speed is reached. Plus you could just add in some sounds to make the boom like noise and wallah! A sonic boom.
...At least i tried lol

And for anyone whose played Lock On, you'd know that if you put the camera in front of the aircraft, you wouldn't be able to hear the aircraft at all.

I had my F-86 up to 750 MPH with a 500FPM descent and she was quite stable. Then I hit flyby view and she came sippin by and the doppler effect as she passed sort of sounded like a low sonic boom. I hit the flyby button about a dozen times just to listen to it. SWEEEEETTTT!!!!!

I don't think the boom would be heard in the pit, as you are moving faster than the sound is, but for movie makers i could see that mod being very useful.
All you'd need to do is create a PRS file that points to the speed of the plane. I think this is done in the EFF file for the planes. It could be as simple as making it part of the common aircraft sounds, so you wouldn't need to back track through the game and find every supersonic plane.
Unfortunately, my knowledge beyond the prs file is very limited but a more experienced modder should have no problem at least creating the PRS for the sound.
As for visual effects, that is probably more complicated but i've also seen other new effects added to the game. Like the mushroom clouds for bigger bombs.
I think its probably possible, but maybe a lot of work to take on for such a small effect.

As far as I know, people inside an aircraft do not hear anything as they pass supersonic speed.

I had a friend years ago that got a flight in a fighter and was able to go supersonic. He said the plane made a lot of noise up to that point, but as soon as they passed the sound barrier, it got "real quiet" in the cockpit.

it is possible, and its also possible to knock this explosion bug at 1115kmh out.......and, and , and i know a modder who is working on this, but I dont say who it is
