I like the intermitent fire, but the thick black smoke causes a severe frame hit even on my machine. Especially when you get a lot of damage on the ground.

Is there a way to add ONLY the fire effect?

@ redleg ,
Will make it for ya , it shouldn't be a problem , will get right to it in the morning , I have to get some sleep right now and will start early morning again .

@ Falco ,
that's what effect I thought you want to have , I am afraid that this IL2 game engine is not capable of such feature , the only way to make this possible will have to be also animated heavy black smoke which would take a thousand of thousand tga's script entries to mix in to it with some flame here and there.
I will take a look in to animated possibilty of heavy black smoke , there is some hope alive to have it smooth looking which would be about the biggest challenge.
I am really not sure at this moment .
Will do some experiments in the morning .
Thank you for your movie representation , it was not bad at all :wink:

Sincerely,

YES!! Nice Falco, very realistic, like guncam videos, you did that? is a MOD or only video?

Men... Cant wait! Thank you very much!

Look great ....but it's FPS - KILLER :twisted:

[alessio]

Looks great update..maybe a bit more black the smoke of the engine flame...

[HolyGrail]

Alessio ,
if the black smoke is not enough , download Original latest 3rdeye's SmokeFireContrail mod with added intermittent animated fire mod version in my first page post .
Black smoke you won't believe , it's just too much thick for me .
I still thou need to update this mod with new intermittent fire sequences and tga's for longer and less repetitive fire sequences because some of those heavy bombers can fly set on fire for quite a long time in this sim .
I increased entry number of animated frames from 1000 to 2000 :twisted:

I will start shortly working on all other things one after another..............................
Crashed plane wreckage black smoke issues is the #1 priority right now .

[alessio]

I tried it..but your is the best...you could increase only a little more the black...only this
Thanks anyway..great mod.

[Carnagexxx]

FUCK !

I really want to use it, but i love the new fire effect from the other guy so much

forget his name, this mod is maybe 5 weeks around here....maye i can mix it with replacing the fire tga.

is there a youtube vid of you mod ?


But as I could see by now, really great work !!!!

Edit :

I mean this mod

viewtopic.php?t=9397

his fire looks so cool !!!

[HolyGrail]

Thank you alessio

biggest main challenge right now is to fix exactly black heavy smoke and connection with crashed plane's parts when they start heavily smoking on the ground after impact .
I have a few ideas , already removing this collumn smoke from the first crater where plane hit the ground but those plane debris parts are pain in the butt .
There is still a good chance to have it all with smooth black smoke with less plane parts smoking issue .
It's highly unlikely that someone would bother with Java programming , it can't be discussed here , so we have to make it happen different way with minimum immersion and FPS hit impact .
I am sure Fly! is up to something and he wants to fix this also for all of us .
Working on it , few good ideas but not much left ..

[Carnagexxx]

Some thing that would be really great would be a line of fire if a plane hits the water in a ligth angle, like 20 or 50 degrees. You can see that often on kamikaze guncams.....

Carnagexxx ,
Jaypack44's .tga is already included in animated fire but the structure of animated fire is different from regular game stock fire .
One or the another , pick your choice 8)

[Carnagexxx]

Does it looks like his fire ?

But i have download all 3 versions and will test them at home

We really needs more graphic mods like yours to keeping this game up to date

I really wish someone could hack the explosions in air so that we have bigger parts, like complete motors with props falling down as one piece


like here in this vid @ 0:57 and 1:37

[HolyGrail]

Yeah , try them , Intermittent animated fire is the closest thing to guncam clips as it can gets thus far in my opinion .
Intermittent animated fire is completely different from Jaypack44's even thou his .tga is included .
Work in progress , I'll be back in about three hours from now continuing new tests.

Look great ....but it's FPS - KILLER :twisted:

The simulator is in the first place, computer is only a tool, can be upgraded:

Sugestion Cheap and fast computer:

Intel e8600
GF8800GT512 g92
Corsair 4GB DDR 1066

And you will have 35/75fps (35) with heavy smoke.
