Rebel28 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 We don’t have the smoke with them yet but the flames are back. This has been missing since 1.5. Someday we can only hope that we might get the 150 fuel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzLine Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I never had exhaust flames in my P51 (bought it too recently I guess) but I love that they are here ! I was very scared when seeing fire in front of me when I first started my engine but I guess it's ... normal ? Is it ? Anyhow, good job to the P51 developers, much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I've got mixed feelings about these. It's great to have them in all V-12 warbirds now and it's great that they change colour depending on mixture and time of the day / lighting conditions, but the actual "slow motion" individual flame animation of them, being the same whether the engine idles on the ground or screams in the air at 300+ MPH gives a rather sloppy impression. A rather noticeable issue to improve in the future. Fortunately, not noticeable when sittin in the cockpit ;).

Northstar98 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 They'll probably tweak them to account for power. One thing I noticed is that some seem a little oversized or are slightly out of alignment.

thrustvector Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 some do seem a bit off agreed, but i like having them on, one thing i ask though is, if i start a new mission they are there...cool, but if i start an old mission they are not, first i thought is because they are in a older pre 2,7 patch but surely its the same bird?

No idea, have you tried re-saving the mission in 2.7?

This has been missing since 1.5. Someday we can only hope that we might get the 150 fuel. I had written ED about lack of exhaust port flames in what I thought was only the last 2.7. and 2.8 updates,and they said they would get back to Me. That did not happen yet. The videos I can find on youtube that show the flames were from 5 to 7 years ago. I did see a Spitfire that was much sooner. Many treat DCS with wanting it to be as realistic as possible, and some videos never show the inside of the warbirds. So this post is from May of 21 and I only just found it because I did a differently worded search and now that 2.8.8 is out, I would like to have My F4 key show some nice video of flames. Night fighters had special plates placed in front of exhaust ports so oncoming enemy planes would not see the flames, as a V12 or turbo charged system is cooking... Clear Skies and I sure am looking forward to the F4U Corsair coming Our way soon. Be nice to have a 4n/5n Night Fighter version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel28 Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 And after I posted that they went and took the flames back out..... The warbirds in here are an after thought and don't get any attention but we do get a lot of lip service.... As with the damage model that went the way of the Dodo bird.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctguy1955 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I do not think I ever had smoke. Engine Exhaust port flames I have on all Prop planes. I purchased the Campaign ( debden eagles ) because I saw it had flames, as it was made over 6 years ago. Ever sense, Ive had flames through the past dcs updates with no problems. Changing engine pitch makes the colors change and Purple flames are the BEST !!!! I had others criticize Me saying DCS brought flames back 3 updates ago. Someone reported me and You tube would not allow me to upload anything for several months and I'm paying for Premium. I hope You get them back. Clear Skies Mike I am not sure if any of these 3 have flames but look on DCS User download area and you will find Tracks that show the flames now dark pg p51 flight.miz p51 Paris Midnight.miz p5130 new OB.miz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
