I have been using this for the last several days and I must say this looks very good.

I always wondered if it would be possible to change the colour of the smoke itself. Black smoke usually would be generated by a heavy fire, connected to stuff like oil or fuel burning, but as we can see from the real guncamera videos that you posted most of the time is a greyish smoke pouring out.. To be honest I never enjoyed the thick black smoke effect, finding it only realistic for heavy engine fires.
I know it's a bit off topic here, but since we're talking about fire: would it be possible to apply a DM to external fuel tanks and weapons/bombs? Being hit there would surely cause a helluva flamin and smokin

Thank you AIRdomination , choctaw111 , Alex T. , Paulo Hirth , BERSERKER , slipper & GeneralPsycho
I really appreciate your kind words .
Thank you 3rdeye & Fly! for your FireSmokeContrails mod and improvements , Thank you all !

@ Alex T.
black smoke can be replaced for something other than black color but since we get gray color coming from various planes spots and the same thing is with black color , it's always hard to tell what in the world is really burning by game code so for that reason we have both worlds , some gray and some decent black smoke because sure in real life there was some black smoke heavy smoking also happening.
As for possibility to apply a DM to external fuel tanks and weapons/bombs? that would have to be done by steps which can't be discussed here but I can't do it myself anyway.

Yesterday , I was flying shortly with Mustang P51B model and found this interesting engine smoke bug
This game is really like " a box of chocolates , you never know what youre gonna get! "
One surprise after another :lol:
I have no idea if this is only with this model or some other Mustang model as well or even with some completely different planes but I thought I will share short video of what I am talking about .
Anyone else can get this ? or my game install is about to gave up on me ? :lol:

Wow, that looks kinda cool actually. Almost like the fire burned a hole in something under pressure and was being blown out, that's not where the supercharger is is it?

Yeah , Than you urufu_shinjiro ,
sure enough I have no clue on which side of the P51 B engine is the supercharger :oops:
I am pretty positive that this have something to do when I changed files to minimize black smoke plane crashed parts issue while keeping longer smoke trails behind planes in my latest version of Mod #1 and Mod#2 in my first post .
I was quite shocked because it is looking so cool from inside of the cockpit , I was able for the first time to see from inside cockpit black decent smoke coming out of the engine left side like a something on the engine got really damaged pretty badly .
There is nothing better than when you see smoke coming out of engine's left front passing by your left cockpit window :lol:
Let's see who else will notice something like this when using Mod#1 or Mod#2 versions with Mustang P51 B model or any other plane for that matter.
I haven't flew them all to know when and to which plane is this happening when hit in to front engine area .
So far nobody else noticed on their install :wink:

HolyGrail, is there any way to make the fire come out of the engine cowlings on the bombers so that it flutters thru the prop?



Check out the smoke in this vid, actually it's from the 2001 release of IL2.

Hi renmik :lol:

I felt out of my chair yesterday when I saw this , it's caused by FireSmoke mod , I had no idea about this happening untill I saw it yesterday .
There is no such thing like this with Il-2 series demo and game releases .
The only question is now : should I have to do something about it and try to fix it while leaving all the smoke color lenght and crashed plane parts minimized issue ?
So far it looks like it is bothering nobody , maybe someone who's running Mod#1 or Mod#2 can try to set up quick mission with Mustang P51 B model and few HE-111 to see if this is something that happen not only to me but also to others with FireSmoke mod .
It will not be probably an easy task to get this effect as likely the right place around engine needs to be hit .
Hopefully , somebody patient enough will try to replicate the same thing .
I'll wait , who's gonna find out soon....

@ RRuger ,
I am not really sure about possibility to make fire come out of the engine cowlings on the bombers so that it flutters thru the prop .
So far WIP animated oil blotch is work that needs to be finished as soon as possible and then I'll try to dig out some more new things .

Sincerely,

One more to ya and I'll leave you alone. I just got back to the house and installed one of you smokes, and I forgot to thank you, thank you btw. In the readme you say to disable the 3rdeye smoke with a "-"

[HolyGrail]

Hi RRuger

"WATCH OUT FOR THAT..........T-R-E-E-E-E-E" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah , L.O.L.

what is " Proptex " file ? never heard of that one .
What mod is using it ?
Anything that will have - in front of folder will be disabled .
I am doing it all the time with some of my files when working on mods to make sure they can't get read by game on my puter , which would otherwise cause chaos in everything :lol:

I dunno, it's been disabled :oops: I think it's a mod that corrects the types and color of props for different A/C Imcluded in that file is 2bladedbrit, 2bladedbrown, 4bladeshinden, propeller etc. As soon as I figure it out I'll tell ya Thanks again...George long as you don't pal with a guy named Lenny your ok

[HolyGrail]

I am running " 00_Propeller-Mod-V1.0 " and I don't have this Proptex file inside
Maybe I have an older Mod version ?
Those are files inside my Textures folder .



Thankfuly , I am not George but my other half ? she kinda like that movie .
