Notso Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 While relatively minor, the amount of time that the smoke from the BDU-33s remain visible is WAAAY too long. In DCS, it lasts for some minutes while IRL its maybe 15-30 secs at best. It literally is a small puff of smoke from a one time smoke charge in the bomb, just enough to see your impact if you roll during the safe escape maneuver or someone spotting it from a tower on the range. The one's in DCS smoke forever as if its a smoke signalling device. Is there any chance of getting this turned down to more realistic times? 4 System HW: i9-9900K @5ghz, MSI 11GB RTX-2080-Ti Trio, G-Skill 32GB RAM, Reverb HMD, Steam VR, TM Warthog Hotas Stick & Throttle, TM F/A-18 Stick grip add-on, TM TFRP pedals.

RED Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 A nice new effect would be cool. Main problem with the current standard "DCS" smoke effect is that it will obscure the target when doing a normal range pattern even with only one aircraft.

TheBigTatanka Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Nice video! Yeah, the current bdu-33 smoke time makes it unusable on a conventional range with a multi ship flight.

TheBigTatanka Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Yup.... It's great now! I've never felt so listened to by ED, lol. I made my post maybe a day or two before it was fixed in the last OB.

David A Sell Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Seems like the smoke is back to lasting about 5 minutes, is that how it is intended?

See my post and the videos above.
