Different missile flame exhausts


Texac

Recommended Posts

With the OpenBeta release two years ago we also got a new missile flame exhaust, it looks fantastic no question. But this new effect doesn't match the flame exhausts of other different missile types.

 

For example the AMRAAM's have a completely different looking flame exhaust as compared to some russian build missiles or the Sparrow missile and more.

 

I'm not an expert but I believe there are different flame exhausts due to different rocket motors? Or does it depend on factors such as weather or alltitude, maybe both or all together?

 

Here are two examples to display the differences quickly.

I haven't really thought about it but I would really like to see the missile exhausts varying from each other in DCS World.

 

There aren't much reasons to spend the needed time and recourses towards differences in the missiles flame exhaust but I think it would fit the eyes much better.

Perhaps some day as MikeMikeJuliet has said, I've felt the same thing about gun effects and especially missile flame effects. Personally I'd sit tight, they might be updated someday

This screenshot is originally from the 1st October newsletter. 

 

As you can see it shows a new WIP missile flame exhaust of the AIM-9X going off the rail and you can see the little diamonds in there.

 

I like such little details to the visuals so it's nice to see that change.

Fairly sure an earlier screenshot of the Apache had the same effect:
