DavidRed's ww2 modpack aka. -=ACG WW2=-

[9.JG27 DavidRed]

in case you havent noticed already, i made a little mod for the ww2 community.

 

features:

 

 

• LODs adjustment for better visibilty of ww2 fighter aircraft
  
• added tracer to the mk108 cannon of the bf109
  
• deleted the awful looking gunsmoke glouds
  
• toned down the unrealistic in-cockpit flyby sounds heavily

LODs adjustment for better visibilty of ww2 fighter aircraft

 

I take it this would cause some compatibility/IC issues on some MP servers?

[9.JG27 DavidRed]

well, on the acg server the modpack is necessary to join, to enforce a fair server for everybody.

on other servers this modpack can cause issues if the servers have an integrity check running.

Shame that these mods are needed really, but nonetheless, good work! The MK108 Tracer is especially handy.:thumbup:

Great Mod, and my first experience with JSGME!

 

Thank you David! Really enjoyed it!

Just wondered, last time I had a fiddle around with the P51 gunsmoke I noticed it had a knock on effect to the flak bursts and presumably other things. In fact if I removed the gunsmoke you had invisible flak bursts. I'm assuming that ED has decoupled the effects somewhere in the last few patches so you can get around this problem?? lol Invisible flak is a bit too scarey for me but I figure you have worked around this issue?

 

Cheers,

Stonehouse

^^^nothing to do with ED, i just found another fix to still grant that flak is still visible.

Ah, here is the original post.

 

Good work David. I don't notice the LoD changes (aircraft still disappear), but the reduced gunsmoke is much appreciated.

:thumbup:

[9.JG27 DavidRed]

you are the first one to say to not notice any difference/improvement in spotting other aircraft, but im glad you like the other tweaks! you're welcome!

[javelina1]

thanks David! :thumbup:

[gavagai]

David just explained to me that the LoD change is for spotting distant aircraft. I was mistaken and thought it would make near aircraft easier to see against the ground.

 

I'll definitely pay attention to changes in long distance spotting, thanks again!:)

P.S. Just tested this with DoW, and I could not login, so they are running some kind of runtime check that prevents this mod.

Same here, too bad we can not use on this server.

[9.JG27 DavidRed]

just hop on the acg server then... :)

[Madmax]

This is a very good idea, except that I came back to the server with the mod.

[9.JG27 DavidRed]

? on the acg server the mod is allowed...well its necessary to join even, as otherwise it would be a unfair disadvantage to others not using it...so everybody is "forced" there to have it enabled...

[Madmax]

This is a very good idea, except that I can not go on a server with the mod.

you can if you activate the modpack after all other mods if you have any
