MRTX Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) First of all, Taz you've created a very awesome mod which i really enjoy and learned to love! And i have a very specific question: Would it in theory be possible to simulate the "blanket like" dust layer that often developes and lingers on gun run impacts on dry ground? (i'm especially refering to GAU-8 and vulcan impacts) What we currently have in both DCS vanilla and the better smoke mod, is sort of a single overly tall smoke collum that forms after each impact that disapears extremely quick. Little edit: a toned down version of your cluster bomb epxplosion and smoke effect could work very well for this. Here are just some small examples to maybe give you a better idea of what i mean: Edited June 12, 2021 by MRTX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoYo Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 On 8/27/2020 at 10:24 PM, Taz1004 said: Updated ... Taz, different question.... can you do new FPS friendly effects for 7.62 and 12.7 mm (guns, smoke on the ground)? With this Pod's of Mi-24 they are FPS killer . Maybe as alternative effect for current version which does not cause such a drop in FPS?

If it's gun, you can just delete the gun smoke. 1 Better Smoke - Better Trees Caucasus - Better Trees Syria - Better Trees Mariana - Clear Canopy Glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyboy9800 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 To anybody who follows this thread and may know an answer related to effects modding; is there a way to disable/neutralize the static smoke that generates anytime a static object is hit by ordinance? I've dropped some GBUs on tree lines in the PG and massive fires generate immediately after the strike, I feel its a bit excessive.

fagulha Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Taz1004 first of all thank you for your work to the DCS community. Let me ask you, in VR the IFLOLS, Supercarrier as example (in CV-59 is unusable), look like a christmas ball too bright and difficult to use, i´d rather IFLOLS look like the PDL lights in KC-135, less dim. With your expertise could you tell me if it is possible to tune that in some sort?

But I'm planning to buy it this sale so I will pay attention to the IFLOLS. In 2D it´s working perfect but in VR the meatball have a giant glow, it has to do how DCS renders some lights. Months ago the Hornet was visible from 20nm due to the lights were very bright. I could try to take a picture in VR so you can understand what i´m trying to say. You can check it with the default Stennis too.
