Is there a way to add gunsmoke when the guns are fired?

I recall a mod for CFS2 that did this. When the guns were fired there would be a trail of faint smoke left behind the aircraft.

It looks very cool and would add to the immersion.


Just a thought.

Would be absolutly awsome to have...

Hi Bo, I was thinking about this the other day when I was in the P-47.

Watching som colour footage from "Thunderbolt", the smoke behind the wing is very obvious. This I too feel would be a worthy mod.

Cheers, SM

YES! would be a wonderful addition. check this out... get a me190k4 and fire the 30mm cannon below 320kph and you will see the smoke coming out but notice there is not smoka trail behind the plane. would be possible to make such a mod?

Something like that ?



Allready done by Josse.

Thats great, link plz. hock:

[tony-bron]

weapon mod, forbidden, sorry.

weapon mod, forbidden, sorry.

would'nt this be purely cosmetic, and possibly possible the same way as the exhaust flame on start-up...

or is the key to this in the fm/wl?

weapon mod, forbidden, sorry.

And how does that make any difference to fm/dm??? Get real... Its cosmetic, just like the Spit MkI is cosmetic.. You are just having a flippin laugh!

Hummm, it is integrated in the full weapons tweaks mod from Josse.... don't just change smokes, but also ammo power tweaking.....

SO, please, don't send more PM, no answer and no link.... (see rules of this forum)

It was just to show that is is possible....... so, some modder could surely do the same, i think.....

So its been done, and integrated into another mod... Which means nothing to this request, only that it's been proven possible...

So, back onto how to do it, who has the ability Slipry..?

If a plane were really flying though would the smoke be in front of the guns like that? I don't think so... that looks very nice except for the puffs out in front of the guns....

[RAF_Magpie]

Yes... would only need the smoke behind the aircraft... infront, just makes no sense :?

[Faucon]

I remember on a video, there were a Hurricane MkIIc firing, and there was smoke in front of guns (a little less than the P47 on the screen).
But I dont know if there can be a real difference with the speed (Hurricane is slow, compare to a Fw190 or a P47).

[Klemm]

Smoke in front of guns is a reality. At least in IL-2. Have you guys ever looked at some German cannons? For example when standing still the smoke is very big and just goes in front of the guns.
But the faster you fly, the more it is blown back. Same effect should apply to the .50's IMO.
So the smoketrails behind and smoke infront of the guns are realistic.
Would be a nice addition.
