Hi everybody,

does anybody know how to override the standard effect of Spiral Smoke Trails of the game?

The small trails (I believe those of the machine guns) that are the effect SmokeBlack_BuletteTrail.eff are the ones that the different MODs modify and they are very cute.

But, what's the name of the effect that produces the spiral trails of the weapons from the wings of the planes (I believe that for the cannons)? Has anybody worked on it?

The main reason of my question is that I believe it really demands a lot of the graphical processing and creates a huge drop in fps.

Thanks,
Pablo

Just go into your MODS folder and look for a folder with the name>
Gray_curving_Smoketrail

put a minus sign -
in front of the name to disable it like this>
-Gray_curving_Smoketrail

This will disable this MOD for you,to re-enable it just remove the minus sign from in front of the name.

Easy

Thanks EasyRider,

but the Gray_curving_smoketrail only affects the SmokeBlack_BuletteTrail.eff that I mentioned before. It is not responsible for the spiral trails that the game produce by itself, as a stock effect.

There are clearly two different effects regarding the trails that the bullets emitted by a plane produce:

-SmokeBlack_BuletteTrail.eff (that is perfectly able to be changed and it's OK, are the weapons that normally are included in the fuselage of the plane), which is the one that all the MODs modify, and that naturally creates a linear long trail.

-Another one whose name I don't know that produce a long spiral trail and generally is associated with the weapons carried at the wings of the planes.

Does anybody know the name of this other effect?

Does anybody know the name of this other effect?

That would be corkscrew trail effect (TrailCurved.eff).
