so the smoke is grayish, brown white

not sure if i would like that

looks kind of cartoonish

[slipper]

There are different options within the folders to select different smoke, fire etc. Add that to the info given earlier about changing colour,transparancy and view distance, and you can really mod smoke and fire to your own liking.

I personally did not care for the grey/brown smoke, so i changed it for the black smoke option, add a bit of transparancy to that and it looks really good.

Thanks again Fly

A very nice note to end on with this one Fly, all I can say is well done and thank-you so much. I have said this to some of the other mod "guru's" and I honestly mean it, I know it must be very time consuming and frustrating with these things and I know they are many as myself on the receiving side that are so appreciative of this time and effort that you as well as others volunteer to improve this wonderful flight sim. So here is to you and all the other mod pioneers---THANK-YOU,
PS-- you have a great sense of humor,enjoyed your diagram to simulate flame and smoke via a request,too funny,
Cheers--rclark--

Wow! And I thought the first version was the end-all effects mod! Thank you for all your hard work Fly!, your mod is truly amazing.

Fly,

Just tested flying a B-29 over heavy flak, and got the fuel leak message on screen a few times, but had no visual representation of it. Before there used to be a thin grey/white contrail after damage like this.

Is there any way to get this back, other than this, a great mod mate.

Fly,

Thanks for the reply, Tried it but no luck. Could not notice any difference in any of the effects. Not a major worry, its just nice to see when you have a fuel leak.

Great mod ...
A question for FLY...is it possible to have another colour of engine smoke? ..not black but dark brown?

It will be a great help for me.. :?

[slipper]

Fly,

Thanks mate your a star, did not notice any difference at first, but i changed the transparency values (both to 0.9) and it shows up now, really makes a difference.

One small point, the fuel leak effect appears to be 2D, is there any way to give it a 3d effect? The same as the other effects?

If not no problem.

Thanks again for a brilliant mod

regards

I try to find the best and most realistic smoke&fire mod - but i cant download these mod? Can someone put it in better ftp?

slipper, yor most welcome.
4 3D fuel leak in RedLeakTSPD.eff use:


[ClassInfo]
ClassName TParticlesSystemParams
[General]
MatName ../Materials/OilSmoke.mat
Color0 0.80 0.80 0.80 0.06
Color1 0.80 0.80 0.80 0.00
nParticles 4096
FinishTime -1.0
MaxR 0.0
PhiN 4.0
PsiN 4.0
LiveTime 5
EmitFrq 100.0
EmitVelocity 3.0 9.0
EmitTheta 0.0 5.8
GasResist 0.065
VertAccel -3
Wind 0.5
Size 0.08 17
Rnd 0.5


The DamageFire.mat sometimes gives the new modded flyable planes invisible burning wings. So many FX are inter-related.

alessio, sure you can have any color. Look in BlackMediumSPD.eff in the Aircraft folder.
1.0 1.0 1.0 is white and 0.0 0.0 0.0
is black.
Color0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
Color1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
Values in Color0 are the 1st smoke color
Values in Color1 are the 2nd smoke color
( the values are R G B A, R= red, G=green, B=blue A= alphachannel-transparency)
Therefore,
Color0 0.65 0.65 0.56 0.0
Color1 0.65 0.65 0.56 0.0 would give no visible smoke. Reducing the last (transparency) value after the R G B values makes the smoke less visible.

255 255 255 is RGB code for white.
R G B for dark brown is 92 64 51, so

92/255=0.36
64/255=0.25
51/255=0.2

Darker Brown would be 47 32 26

47/255=0.18
32/255=0.13
26/255=0.10

Color0 0.22 0.15 0.08 1.0
Color1 0.22 0.15 0.08 0.0 might b what u want

Play with it. have fun

Ok i downloaded Your mod and i think it the most realistic from all here. I missed also Fuel Leak so i followed these instuctions and Fuel Leak back. I think it should be in standart downloaded version. Good work.
