Brennus Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Question: Is v19 compatible w/ v2.7.x? I've recently upgraded to v19 for 2.8 compatibility, and now I'm currently rolling back to v2.7.18.30765 (for far too many reasons), I've since deleted v18, and there's no link (that I can find) for v18.

zildac Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I seem to recall that at one point this mod also had an effect on the ship wake size/length. Given this from todays OB changelog, does this alleviate the need for this "fix" in the mod?

But I'll keep it to gives option for anyone who wants to edit it to make it longer. Left is new default and right is Better Smoke.

zildac Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 @Taz1004 If I just wanted to double the length of the current default (your old modded value) wake trail for the SC only which values do I need to "play" with just length and particle count? I did up the particle count and the length, but the wake was very "thin" toward the end, unnaturally so. 1 12900KF | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 5200 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyboy9800 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) On 4/28/2021 at 9:55 AM, NineLine said: Thank you Taz, some of us at ED have been admiring this mod since the early versions, and pushing for these, or similar changes to the core, work like this always makes me super proud of our community, helping or inspiring us to be better. Thanks! From some of our perspectives, the older 2.5 version (v9) of this smoke mod portrayed the most realistic smoke, but then the 2.7 update changed the core smoke features. Is there any plan at ED to update the smoke to make it look more realistic, and less think/chunky? Currently, if you bomb a tree-line, it lights up in a massive fireball like an oil depot...

zildac Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 @Taz1004 Hi Taz, this MOD now appears to cause the smoke markers to go crazy with the latest OB 2.8.3.37556 and creates what almost looks like a napalm effect. Please see attached screenshot, this does not appear to happen unless using the MT EXE. 1 12900KF | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 5200 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
