Witchking Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Hi guys, I thought this was just probably a random thingy when the SMOKE TRAIL of a downed chopper doesn't turn up. I am starting to make a mission and was testing stuff out. I tried restarting ...reinstalling...everything.. the mission is simple...I have a few russian choppers...ka-52 and mi24w to bomb a base... when they get hit b missiles or guns...THEY DO NOT CATCH FIRE>...look at the shots.. this also happened when I tired with a Apache. then I thoughtmaybe the mission...I started up a FBP mission of a su-27 against few choppers...again..NO FIRE EFFECT OR SMOKE TRAILS.. I have everything turned up.. tex high, scenes high, visibility high, effects high, water med, shadows all planar, res 1152 All the planes get the usual beautiful FIRE IN THE SKY TRAILS...ONLY the choppers don't... try it out... here are shotsof downed choppers 1) THIS ONE TO PROVE ALL MY EFFECTS WORK PERFECTLY 2) DOWNED CHOPPER 3) another proof of high settings & no corruption 4) downed chopper in fbp mission MY LO:FC is all default configs...no changes...only skins added.. only thing that would make sense or probably unlikely to be a cause is my new catalyst .6. before also I don't remember seeing the FIRE IN SKY though for choppers. but once chopper hits grnd it explodes normally... can someone check this please.?? with cat 5.6 ...I am running a 9800 pro .

WhiskeyRomeo Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Its rare that a chopper catches fire but it does happen from time to time. 2 flamers in the same mission with Cat 5.6 and ATI 9600XT. 1 kill with a -60 and 1 with guns.

Guest Cali Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Everytime I have shot a heli down it went down in flames. That is weird that it doesn't do that for you.
Hellcat61 Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Mine is hit and miss. Ive shot down several Cobra's that came apart into a billion pices, but then Ive shot at some Apache's that just fall out of the sky with no damage. Strange. Not to get OT, but does anyone else have missing pitot tubes on the Su-39 when in the cockpit? Mine are only halfway visable while inside the aircraft. Just wondering... -Hellcat "When you're out of Tomcats, you're out of fighters!"
Ironhand Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Not to pile on but I've never noticed a problem either. Here are a few examples of both intact and in flames and also in pieces and in flames.

Force_Feedback Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 I think it's intensional, as some choppers may have fire retarding fuel tanks, mine don't always come down burning, especially when hit by guns or small warheads (R-60). So it's normal that some choppers catch fire and some don't, same applies to planes, some do catch fire, some just crash (no fire, just some missing wings) Since choppers in lomac don't have a damage model at all, you can only judge by the fire/explosion how significant the hit was.
