Effects; smoke and dust etc

[159_Archer]

In the latest openbeta notes there is the line; Dust and smoke atmosphere effect added to Mission Editor

As many who work with the ME will know, we have had the ability to have smoke and fire placed into missions via picking the effects option, but not any of the other listed effects -so far as I could work out anyway.

 

With the above mention in the OB update I assumed that these might work now, but have so far failed to get any to do so -does anyone know anything?

 

 

Must admit I don't know anything about the option to attach to unit and whether that's important or not.

 

 

Cheers, Archer

I'm guessing that the attach to a unit feature is the 'Link' feature that we are seeing being used on the carriers now. I would use it to attach dust to a vehicle column. Or something like that..

 

I have only used the smoke & fire so far.

Smoke effects DCS 2.5 OpenBeta

 

I have seen in different videos and screenshots a smoke effect that I can't achieve when I am under DCS 2.5.

Is there a trick to have the same result (as on the picture), is it an effect that is not yet incorporated in DCS, photoshop effects or other?

Thx

Chris

 

 

OK find !

Static objects/special effects. There's a drop down you can choose what size and whether it's smoke, dust, or has flames. I use them all the time

Only Big Smoke Works

 

Perhaps I am doing something wrong. I am running 2.5.5.39384, which I believe is the latest. I can get the static "Big Smoke" to work just fine. None of the others work - "Dust/smoke" "Smoking Line" and "Smoky Marker" produce no results. At all.

 

Is there a trick to getting them to work? There doesn't appear to be a trick for the "Big Smoke" it works fine just by placing it on the map.

 

I noticed the presets are Test1, Test 2, Test 3. Does that mean they aren't implemented yet?

I also did a test with all of that many months ago with the same results. I don't think it's finished or working yet.

Same here, on our dedicated server the smoke an also ADF trigger did not worked.

The mission was teted in single player before an everything was okay.
