Effects addon request

[hitman]

I recently asked for a video from pre LO-MAC that demonstrated a feature I was looking for. This effect was made prior to LOMAC being released publicly, yet never made its way to any former or current DCS / ED product.

Look close enough, you will see vapor being sucked in towards the aircraft when the engines spool up on the carrier. How come this effect never came into LOMAC or DCS?

Looks more like the Ship wake particle effects are coming though the deck.

it's the old prow effect, not particle but simple sprite - seems modded: bigger effect

There were no ship wake particles back in the old days, these were rendered clouds - the same exact ones we've had since the very beginning! I remember the discussions about them on the old Ubisoft forums from way back in the days, I just dont remember why they deleted them before release.

There hasnt been any prow effects in any DCS/TFC/ED software until 1.2.7 that I know of.

then explain the 15 - 18 second mark of your posted video. where you can clearly see the water effect breaking off the bow the of the ship and going up through the deck

You're right, never noticed that. But still, looks pretty good considering it appeared to be condensed vapor intake on a carrier deck. You can see a little of that in this video.

That's steam coming out of the catapult track, and since the carrier is moving forward at 30+ knots, the steam appears to move backwards.

You can still get condensation in front of a low pressure area sucked into a turbine. Even then, we still dont have steam or effects like condensed vapor in-game. They just recently added jet smoke, why not vapor effects like steam? Simple request...

No New Effects will be added until After Edge.
