Hi HolyGrail,
I've downloaded all the smoke effects mods you've made and also Fly's. I'm very impressed with them all.
I enjoy the black smoke from the engine fire which is visually stunning. The only observation I will make that has made me settle on your intermittant flame mod only is the issue of the black or dark "mushroom" effect on the ground after a plane has crashed. These blobs also affect my framerate when looking at them. I do not have a noticeable framerate hit on the black smoke trails in the air. I know from reading other threads that this problem can not be changed and it certainly takes away from the visuals when you look at the ground and see mushroom blobs dotted around the countryside without going away. (I would prefer a thin column of rising smoke from the ground fires.)
I am going to reload your mods one at a time and re-evaluate which would be a good compromise for me. You certainly have offered excellent choices - just like a supermarket.
Regards
