Mustang Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) Title says it all :) This little mod (originally used in DCS Black Shark and FC2.0) alters the definition of the smoketrails and effects in DCS Warthog. Simply extract the 3 tga files from the RAR file into your TempTextures folder (located in your \DCS A-10C\Bazar\TempTextures directory) to apply it. Some quick before and afters: stock smoke new effect Download link: http://files.lockon.ru/en/38303/ Edited February 25, 2011 by Mustang 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron886 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 how is it on the FPS ? No change, it's just a texture adjustment. Mustang... just raise the levels on the texture but preserve the alpha channel... you'll get a more subtle effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necroscope Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I think if we'll replace this smoke FX via existing vapor trail FX with repainted texture - it could be a trick. Cause vapor trails now are spraying around sky and looks cool. Unfotrunatelly I have no time to check this out. ^( Всех убью, один останусь!

Jazz_44 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I posted this in a different thread but it's relevant here as well :) Thanks a lot for this MOD. I tried it in FC2 and it's very nice. But it still doesn't change important (for me) effects. - White smoke generated by missiles is still thin and transparent (I know AIM120 are smokeless, but Mavericks and AIM9s should generate a nice ammount of smoke) - Missile smoke trails disappear far too quickly to my taste (need to stay visible much longer) - Smoke trails have a predetermined "length" - Would be nice to look back and see where exactly the missles was fired from (similar to the contrails in the game when you fly very high) Any chance that a skilled modder or ED will improve in these areas? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hog_driver111th Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 - Missile smoke trails disappear far too quickly to my taste (need to stay visible much longer) That's something that has bugged me since the first Lock-On. When even shoulder launched missles are fired (ok, most, not all) they leave a smoke trail that can be tracked back to the source even after a minute or so... but in the sim they disappear rather quickly.

Zorg_DK Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Agreed longer lasting smoke would be nice to have. "There are only 10 types of people in the world — those who understand binary, and those who don't." [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hog_driver111th Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Is it possible to get a thicker somewhat lasting smoke on the Mavericks while they are burning gas? Looking at videos with the MAVs, the smoke is definitely thicker and sticks around for a couple more seconds...
