Su-27 new afterburner GFX

Hi there,

As I’ve had no luck with the search tool, I was wondering if I’ve missed an in-game option to display these updated afterburner effects (showcased on the Su-27 official page) :

 

 

(I'm using the updated FC3 displaying the classic hard-edges AB GFX)

 

More wonderful in the wonderful would be wonderfuler ;)

That screenshot is from upcoming DCS 2.0, so you're not missing anything, just wait :)

EDGE maybe?

is it too visible on day light?

at real airshow videos i cannot see afterburner effect clearly,can it be transparent at daylight?

havent you ever seen fighter take off?

Ah great! Thanks for the info.

 

Based on the Su-27 screenshots, the AB daylight visibility doesn't seem to be implemented yet.

But it's not finished, so there's hope ;)

i saw real f-16, real f-4, real f-5 and t-38s many times during takeoff my friend and non of thems afterburner is visible on ''daylight''!

 

question is; did you see any fighter during takeoff at daylight?

can you show me a picture of afterburner which is too visible on daylight?

In daylight I only observe the intense glow of the engine nozzles - not the extended trail of flaming exhaust. As daylight dims, this trail becomes more prevalent.

 

Light a propane torch in daylight and observe how much flame you can see then do the same at night. Big difference.

 

I do like the graphics though. Very nice indeed!

totally agree with you!

Actually saw them on an F-22 Raptor on a hot July day at an airshow, was awesome.

Hopefully they introduce an alternate afterburner effect for low light conditions. But other than that I'm loving the new EDGE afterburner so far!

I think if they implement a proper "dynamic light" afterburner with "fluid simulation", we can get a more dynamic AB that can respond to different light conditions.

What would be the chances of EDGE been able to produce something using a fluid simulation? I've been wondering for a while now about the capabilities of EDGE when it comes to physics, particle physics, and soft body dynamics. Things like smoke realistically reacting to rotor wash and aircraft flying through ect and dynamic debris from explosions and vehicles would be great...

 

I'm a total newby when it comes to game engines and what they truly capable of and still be viable for your everyday user who doesn't own a $3000+ PC.

did someone say night ABs?
