[MOD] Explosions FLAKs and sounds edit v.5

I tried it on my low-end graphics card (Geforce Go 7300) and it works very well!!!!

So I think the FPS loss some people are having, is more related to CPUs than Graphics Cards.

Might I inquire, is there some way to disable the fire and sparks while retaining everything else about the mod? I'm not to keen on the fiery explosion because I've never seen footage where that was how flak exploded.
Seconded. Anti-Air Artillery/Flugabwehrkanone is designed for maximum vertical range while inflicting the most damage possible; this means that each shell contains only the minimum amount of powder to propel the shrapnel at a damaging velocity; i.e. it's much like a hand grenade in principle - extremely dangerous, but not a flashy, fiery explosion, more of a burst effect.

I love how much further you can see the smoke with this mod, I came here today specifically looking for a mod to do that, but I really would like to get rid of the flash. It's not realistic.

IIRC it's a setting in il2setup.exe, under video options. I just forgot which one(s).

Although I've never had it as a momentary effect. Sad

Might have been the "Vertex Array" tickbox, but you'll have to do some checking. Copy down what you have at the start in that screen, so you can always go back. If you are going to check which it is, it's your call how you go about it.

The binary method is a quick way of finding the source. First you change every setting there, so you can see if it fixes that issue. If it does, you know it's the right source of the problem.

Then you change the left half screen of the settings. The issue doesn't come back, it's in the right half. Does the issue come back, you have the correct half.

Change the top half of the screen-side where the issue is. The issue doesn't come back, it's in the bottom quarter. Does the issue come back, you have the correct quarter.

By now you only have 2 or 3 settings to toggle.

Well, it turns out its most likely a driver issue, so Ill have to take the time and try drivers that are past CAT 7.11

in the original il2 the soviet flak smoke was tinted red, whilst in this mod it seems same as the german's (black). is it realistic??

Having the same issues as others with the black sky during flak explosions. I have an ATI X1650pro card, and from what I've read, it seems to be the issue of the flame TGA file and ATI cards. I D/L the reduced TGA file but the problem is I don't know where to install it. The mod itself which I installed very recently was in self install form. It did not need to be unzipped to a mods folder, but rather it was an automatic install when I clicked the icon.

I love the way the flack looks in this mod, so any help would be appreciated.


Thanks alot.

to be honost gents, although it might be so that the sparks, flames arent historicaly correct the mod gives me much pleasure, ok tone down the sound a little but playing campaigns and missions are so much immersive and thrilling, its a real xtra treat

THX Buffy, great mod!
