Hogges Posted June 21 Posted June 21 I would love to see some smoke effects while starting the engine. I am not sure if this is a global thing that would need to be developed by ED as I believe that no warbird currently has these effects. Having seen a few Corsairs start in real life, there is often a nice plume and it would be great to have this in the sim as well. 9
Mistermann Posted June 22 Posted June 22 Yup. Alas, I seem to recall it being an ED shortcoming that's not worth addressing.

AG-51_Razor Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Are you sure that it is an ED issue and not the module producer? In either case, it seems to me that it's worth is far more valuable than the slight effort it takes to make a post about it. Sort of like a Return On Investment thing. Although I suffer mightily while hunting and pecking at this blasted keyboard, the possible reward of seeing a more realistic star up of a big radial engin warbird would far exceed my meager labor! 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Absolutely agree with you. My post above was poorly worded. To me, it's clear that ED can't be bothered to correct/fix/enhance the experience. An absolute shame as far as I'm concerned. 2 System Specs: Spoiler Callsign:Kandy Processor:13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K - RAM: 64GB - Video Card: NVIDIA RTX 4090 - Display: Pimax 8kx VR Headset - Accessories: VKB Gunfighter III MCG Ultimate, VKB STECS Standard, Thrustmaster TPR Pedals, Simshaker JetPad, Predator HOTAS Mounts, 3D Printed Flight Button Box Video Capture Software: Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), Video Editing Software: PowerDirector 35 Into The Jungle (MP Mission) F18: Scorpion's Sting Apache Campaign - Griffins Kiowa Campaign - Assassins

-Rudel- Posted June 24 Posted June 24 This isn't an ED issue actually.

Mistermann Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Great to know! Sounds like ED needs to learn as well given that feature doesn't exist for any warbird offered. Appreciate the response Rudel. 2 System Specs: Spoiler Callsign:Kandy Processor:13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K - RAM: 64GB - Video Card: NVIDIA RTX 4090 - Display: Pimax 8kx VR Headset - Accessories: VKB Gunfighter III MCG Ultimate, VKB STECS Standard, Thrustmaster TPR Pedals, Simshaker JetPad, Predator HOTAS Mounts, 3D Printed Flight Button Box Video Capture Software: Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), Video Editing Software: PowerDirector 35 Into The Jungle (MP Mission) F18: Scorpion's Sting Apache Campaign - Griffins Kiowa Campaign - Assassins

GUCCI Posted June 27 Posted June 27 I know Heatblur have coded the smoke to come out when using start shotgun cartridges in the F4E, I would love to see that big plume as the double wasp comes to life!! 1
MikeKT Posted July 1 Posted July 1 I don't think I have ever seen a warbird cold start and not produce smoke, a part of the starting procedure is to prime the engine with fuel so this fuel gets burn off in the start up. Please look into it ED as it is essential in MHO.
