Hello,

Is there a way to reduce the gun smoke ? It's way too much

Renaming the file PFXSmoke2.fx didn't help ( the game didn't start it )

Maybe, something like this ? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1249288/

Thank you

Too much? I mean, xbox probably has some kind of flying game with less realism. :P

In fact it's easy to do :

Edit shell_table.lua and add, for both M61 white and yellow tracer, the line : "scale_smoke = 0.9," (without quotes) just after the line : "scale_tracer = 1,"

0.9 is the value I choosed for now but use what you want. On this screenshots 1st is original, than you have value 0.5, 1, and 1.5.

I personnally also disable tracers, using values of GAU-8 for tracers, as I don't see them in RL videos.

Thanks, I will give it a try right now

By the way, I'd like to have the tracers, exactly like the Viggen

 

 

Here, at 7.21

 

LE : i tried as you said but the game does not start

Could you please, upload your file ??

Thank you

Nevermind, it's working now

What do you mean with

" I personnally also disable tracers, using values of GAU-8 for tracers, as I don't see them in RL videos "

 

??

 

Thank you very much

Yep I can see on your video that Viggen NEEDS tracers for A/A ..... without it no way to aim....

 

M61 original tracers values are : "tracer_off = 3," and : "scale_tracer = 1," - I use the values of A10's GAU-8 wich are : -100 and 0 instead of 3 and 1 - this way M61 has no tracers wich is what it looks (? maybe optionnal relative to operation ?) in real life.

 

EDIT : I also (lol I'm putting dirt on this great Aircraft) change the gun sound from original VulcanEndIn.wav and VulcanIn.wav, in folder : C:\Pierre\Jeux\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\FA-18\Cockpit\, by the GshG.wav and GshGend.wav, located here : C:\Pierre\Jeux\DCS World OpenBeta\Sounds\Effects\Weapons\Automatic\, using JSGME. This way the gun sounds more like real one in term of pitch/noise (its more high in pitch and speed). But I'd like to find a more real-like sound and I also wait for what will be final Eagle Dynamic's M61 sound for F-18 with low rate of fire and high rate of fire different sounds.

So, it's not possible to have the same tracers, as the Viggen on this video - at min. 7.21 ?

That would be great ( allthough it's not realistic for the F18 )

Oh sorry I didn't understood.

 

Yes of course it's possible to make the tracers looks the same as Viggen : just try to put Viggen's value for tracers in the M61 and it should do the trick.

 

In theory choosing the good values you could make them the color and size/scale you want.

Which Viggen's values ? :D

Would you please tell me exactly, which values / where ?

Thank you very much, toutenglisse

I don't knwo what is in DCS the name of Viggen's guns - it should be ADEN 30 mm gun pods but in shell_table.lua I don't know wich it is .... Maybe I don't have it listed because I don't own the Viggen.

So I can't tell.

Should I upload the shell_table. lua?

Would that help, to take a look?

Thank you very much

 

LE : i tried right now some other aircrafts, with the same tracers ( almost the same ) like the Viggen :

Bf 109 K4

P51D Mustang

F-86 Sabre

I'm not sure, but i think, the m39 is the cannon from F-86 Sabre

 

I'd like to have the F18, with the same tracers.

I attached here the shell_table.lua file

Maybe someone could help me with this.

Thank you

Is it possible, actually, to have the same smoke tracers for F18, same as the aircrafts above?

if you think the smoke is too much now, wait till the barrel/muzzle sparks are added.

I reduced the smoke, it looks way better

Now I'm trying to replace the smoke tracers, i like the F86 and the Viggen ones, but I'm not sure how to do this

If you have problems with the Hornet's gun smoke being "too much", go and try the F-5E-3 instead pinkiepieexcited.png

 

You'll learn how to shoot aircraft guns in no time instead of just squeezing the trigger and waiting for the spray to hit anything rdlaugh.png
