Blindside

Can I ask how you know what to name the folder in the Liveries folder (as in, how did you know to name it "Infantry AK Ins")? I'm trying to make a skin for the paratroopers and RU infantry but a folder for it doesn't exist in the liveries and I don't know what to name it.

I will kindly ask Syrian rebels to take higher quality footage of Hind rocket attacks Understandable, but still would create a smaller effect than the currently rocket explosion effect. They are fine for the 122mm S-13-Of and S-24.

Your third video shows a bomb strike -- most likely JDAMS -- so I'm not really sure why you included that one. The first two are more on-par with the subject and yes... those are most of what the HE OF rockets should look like. Those are more like the 30mm impact effects like I suggested they should be. Just poofs of smoke with a small initial explosion. Not like the current fireball explosions we have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=121&v=ANPmLohXpNE&feature=emb_title https://youtu.be/nFtWPRF0A7w?t=129 The current rocket explosions look more like JDAM strikes than 80mm HEAT/HE.

Even in combat footage the impact from rockets mostly just create poofs of smoke and dust. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi0jVew2yBs&feature=emb_title https://youtu.be/T6cZGU09zy And something tells me these aren't just training scenarios. Yeah, the explosion effects make sense for thermobaric explosives for sure. Infact the current rocket explosions fit perfectly for thermobaric. Agreed on the smoke trails too.

Hey all First of all I just want to say I absolutely love the Hind. I've spent now around 200 hours flying this thing and I can't get enough of it. With that said, I do have a small nitpick about the explosion effects of the rockets. Currently the impacts of the S-5 and S-8 rockets are massive fireballs that are not only unrealistic when looking at the effects of the rockets in videos and images, but also falsely advertises their effectiveness and accuracy to a degree. When looking at footage of S-8 rockets in use, their visual blast radius is relatively small. Here are some references: "MIL MI-24 Hind & Kamov KA-52 Alligator Unleash Their Firepower" Mi-24 Hind helicopters shoot rockets from pilot view perspective MI-24 Rocket Strike Cockpit POV Hind helicopters shooting with guns and rockets MI 24 Hind - Mercenaries Attacking rebels in Sierra Leone As you can see, the impact of the rockets is rather small and nothing like the massive fireball S-5's and S-8's currently produce. They just create poofs of smoke. I think the effect is fine for S-24's and the 122mm(?) rocket pods, but could be reduced for S-5 and S-8. For me, impact effects are hugely important for feedback and just general satisfaction and immersion when employing weapon systems, and this is honestly one of my only gripes about flying the Hind. If anything, the impact of the rockets should use the same impact effect of the 30mm cannon. I hope this will be possible Cheers ED and thanks for this amazing module!

I have no idea about anything you just said but it sounds decent. I on the other hand just press F4, look down with TrackIR, and wing it.
