[Baker12]

Has anybody ever done a napalm mod or something of the sort?

Why would you, the A-10 doesn't carry it and it's just a sick weapon in my opinion. Don't think the Air force has any anymore.

I get a napalm bomb delivered at my dorstep evry saturday night. At least sunday morning feals like it :P

USAF still has and uses them on occasion:

You're right, it's quite an awful weapon, but sometimes, that awfulness can come in useful. The enemy may become so terrified of having the weapon used on them, that they surrender instead. Supposedly, that actually happened a few times.

any news on ths? I mean noone needs splatter effects like in Doom, but a fire exposion & burn effect should be included; the effects of the BK-90 prove its possible.

Given this thread is 10 years old ! I suspect news is unlikely……..

The A-4E Mod has the Mk70+71 Napalm canisters.  But, the effect ((graphics, effects, spread) hasn't been implemented as yet.

Mk-77 3D models han into DCS core from F/A-18C module on develop. The incendiary effect has on "ToDo" list, and ED like build a realistic Fx Effect, no only to a Mk-77, has others West, Russian (RBKs) and WW2 (Mk4 AN-50) incendiary bombs with require them. Remember ED has recluting 3D modelers with experience on Fume FX to make them plausible.

 Bk90 has the same efect as a CBU bomb, nothing near to a incendiary bomb.

i know the difference between a fire and a cluster explosion, it was just for comparing that it IS possible as both use similar calculation power on PCs - whereas a BK90 has perhaps more to calculate depending on how they model it.

Maybe two weeks if we were only working on this, but we are not, there are more important effects work being done right now. And a new feature is not a bug, so please don't start up with that... and holy necro post...

Oh pardon to wake up someone on ED and remind that there are very old promised features still not taken care of, that were listed as features and are still listed. Perhaps ED should finish sold stuff before selling new unfinished stuff, would be nice for customers, but thats just my opinion. If you dont like it - well, I dont care

Napalm would be very cool.

[Jackjack171]

I'm sure ED will get around to it but since it doesn't really mean anything (there's plenty of weapons to get your jollies off to) and its low priority, I'm sure those that don't care won't mind waiting a bit longer!

Napalm would be cool, but I can wait!

Maybe go back to bed for a few hours, you seem grumpy.

Its on the list but requires a lot of work to simulate properly. I don't think Doom's version would look good in DCS, but thanks for the suggestion. Official answer is it is still planned but not here yet, thanks.
