Machine guns & canons smoke and / or full throttle exhau

Boost on Spitfire producing smoke:
"Tigger' (Morton's Spitfire) with the tit pressed and the dive from 4,000' was doing a steady 320 with a great long trail of smoke. I wonder if the Hun claimed anything."

"We were traveling at full throttle and climbing at nearly three thousand feet a minute in the general direction of the enemy formation, which was just visible high up above and in front of us. I could see Yellow Section in front and above us also, going at full boost. Black streams of petrol vapour were coming away from their engines.

Hong Weibing Wrote:Hello All,

1st post here but let me first say that I greatly appreciate what you guys are doing for IL2. Your efforts have given a new life to the sim.

Not sure if supposed to post a "request" here. Anyway, moderator please remove if inappropriate.

I was looking for a graphic mod that :
1. would add light smoke puffs when weapons are fired.
2. when engines are pushed to the max (100% & above with WEP) a light grey-ish trail of smoke would come off the exhaust pipes

Do these mods exist or is one of you exploring feasibility? Would love to try myself but totally clueless unfortunately.

Thx

On your question number 1: there is a mod for this, but it is considered as cheating during online play, but i think i can modify the mod for only the weapon smoke to exist.

Godverdoom,

That smoke on the P47 looks like real nice eye-candy. Thanks for the screenshots.
Who was the original writer of the mod? Maybe we can drop him a word and see if he is interested in making history once again Tongue
Obviously, weapons damages should not be tweaked.

Regarding the boost smoke, anyone looking into it?
Apologies for being a pest...


Cheers

Just a reminder guys, AAA rules forbids sharing links, or the actual weapons mods via this site. So anyone caught sharing a link for the mod will be banned.

This includes any modifictions to weapon models, even to provide the smoke... If you wish to release this, PM MrJolly.

Roger that Magpie.
No worries

Godverdoom, also going through a job interview. Nothing as exciting as you though... I work in friggin' advertising.
Good luck!

I'd really like to know the details of these boost systems. The water injection systems are pretty straight-forward, but what about the others? Are we talking about additional supercharger boost? If so, additional fuel would likely be used to keep combustion temperatures down in the cylinders, lacking another substance to perform that function, if in fact cylinder temperatures had proven to be an issue on that particular engine under boost. This would likely result in smoke, but also would probably only be usable within a fairly limited operating range (high RPM, high airspeed) and the engine wouldn't stand it for long. Even so, each engine is going to react differently, and each boost system is going to be different in the details. I would think that pretty solid evidence, as some have posted (albeit anecdotal), would be needed before applying boost smoke effects to a given engine or engine family if one wanted to be historically accurate.

uf_josse,

No disrespect intended I'm sure. If one of us were to ask politely for your kind authorization, would we get it?

Top of mind, something along the lines of :

uf_josse, thanks for your feedback. Your gun mod looks great but we would like to ensure that weapons damage have not been tweaked in any ways. We can look into it and pass it on to AAA for final approval. All due credits will be given of course.

Another solution would be for you to submit your mod to AAA directly. Has it be done already? And if so, what's the status? Maybe that's the safest and fastest way - with no mutilated egos getting in the way... Big Grin

Anyway, can you clarify if the smoke is applied to all weapons or only machine guns?

Cheers
Hong

Tony, Josse, remember that mods released are released. If someone reverse engineers something, and at least took the time to ask you first, how could you complain? It wont stop them from doing it themselves, but remember guys anything you help with, helps the community. HOWEVER.....

This is enough of the Weapons mod 'authorisation' agument. If you wish to gain authorisation to use it, do it via PM.
