Smooking Engines?

[BgFS-Orel]

Is there a mod which makes Mig-29's engines smoke on some egine RPM like the real ones?Something like that

 

Thanks!

[Kuky]

I think there might be a mod at lockonfiles where someone placed smoking rockets into engines and modifying the smoke colour and that's about the closest to anyone making something like that.

[Boberro]

In LO engines don't smoke. Simple leak, so u can use smoke rocket pylons inside MiG-29, like Kuky said.

[RvEYoda]

haha, that is funny.

new fixed payload for mig29....smoke pod

 

I can make a lua scritp to make it activate on rpm XD

example : if mil power : smoke. jk

[Boberro]

It is not bad idea... I think it is great idea! Everybody knows previous era MiGs are smoking most time.

 

But how to force clients to use payload always with smoke pods? And use more transparent color...

It can be a integral part of the MiG-29, even with clean payload w/o possibility of removal!

[Boberro]

Oh so why nobody implemented this ;]

[Brit_Radar_Dude]

I remember that one of the German Lockon squads made a Mod to do this (by using the trick Kuky mentioned of adding extra pylons with smoke pods inside the engines). Can't recall which squad it was......

It's implemented... Link: Szelma_Szafa_kopci (Modman).zip

 

Mod adding to A,G,S versions extra pylons hidden in engine bay. You need to select normal weapon payload (pylons 1-7) and on pylons 8 and 9 smoke generators where

Yellow = Light grey smoke

Orange = Dark grey smoke

 

By pressing 'T' Your engines "starts looking" like pure RD-33 ;-)

 

Maybe Yoda should add automatic 'T pressing'...

Thanks sniffer !

Yes but it would be cool if this would be automatic depends from RPM and control the transparency of the smoke. Of course player wouldn't be able to turn it off.

One thing is sure - it would be great if LO MiG's engines behaves like real...

 

Such mods it's only a bonus/gift ;-)

[Boberro]

yeah, maybe in DCS or Patch...

[RvEYoda]

it would be quite simple to make automatic smoke on forced for all migs ;), based

on RPM setting, but just be aware it only would work for human players, not AI.

Yoda plase do it automatic:worthy:

Who cares AIs - rarely they fly in multiplayer :D

 

If u can do such feature which will works fine, it would be niiice.

[Szelma]

Hi guys there is NEW mod.

Now it is full compatible with MODMAN 7 - FULCRUM Smoketrail MOD

ENJOY

I found there is no option to set transparent in Lo options, so quite real smoke is rather unrealable to do in LO world.

 

Damn this LO is so limited!

[BgFS-Orel]

How can you make MiG-29 also smoke on the ground like the su-25

Thanks!

[Szelma]

You can't

[czarnyolek]

Cool thing but does anyone know how to change density of this smoke?

I think its too thick.

Tried to edit drawinfo.lua file but i can change just colour and position of smoke, not its density

[Vekkinho]

Su-25 is AFM (advanced flight model) so no such option 'til DCS:Fulcrum module!

[czarnyolek]

Tried to define alpha value, but it seems to not make any significant difference. 0 supposed to make colour comletely transparent, but i seems to not work that way

[RvEYoda]

ok the only problem with this is that in online play, people must select this pod

to begin with. This is a problem cause not everyone has the mod installed.

 

Would it be possible to somehow make it "always load smokepods" if you have

the mod installed?

 

edit : attempted doing this without success =/...

Greet to all!

 

 

I have made a little script that it would turn on and off the smoke depending on the left engine RPM.

 

It uses export.lua

-------------------------------------------------------

to section "function LuaExportStart()" insert

-------------------------------------------------------
status1 = 3
status2 = 0
-------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------

to section "function LuaExportBeforeNextFrame()"

-------------------------------------------------------

 
 if (status1 == 1) then
   if (status1 ~= status2) 
     then 
       LoSetCommand( 78 )
       status2 = status1
   end 
 end
 
 if (status1 == 0) then
   if (status1 ~= status2) 
     then
       LoSetCommand( 78 )
       status2 = status1        
   end  
 end
 
local engine = LoGetEngineInfo()

 if (engine.RPM.left >= 80 ) and (engine.RPM.left <= 100) then
 status1 = 1
 else 
 status1 = 0
 end
 
------------------------------------------------------

This script will make smoke turn on between 80% and 100%.

If you press smoke once on start than it will turn off smoke in this range.

 

I have been able to make it work properly so on start you wont get smoke turned on.

 

Greet!
