Highwayman-Ed Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 In my opinion, dust trails of the vehicles and the smoke from firing weapons such as seen from the sight of the M1 Abrams in the screens below is much too dense. the result is that by the time the smoke has cleared, your shot has landed and the resulting impact mark can not be seen, unless of course the target was destroyed :) Intel i9-9900KF @5.2GHz MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon 32GB G.Skill Trident Z DDR3200 RAM MSI RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio 40" Panasonic TH-40DX600U @ 4K Pimax Vision 8K Plus / Oculus Rift CV1 / HTC Vive Gametrix JetSeat with SimShaker Windows 10 64 Bit Home Edition [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

diveplane Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 this effect also needs adjusted for seasons and wet weather ingame. summer = light brown trail dust winter = white trail wet = none 1 https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.

3instein Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 It would be great when switching views from isometric view which could opt as a turned out,commander view to a view that is similar to this when firing the gun,rather than actually seeing the gun barrel with the hud. :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Keep the faith AMD PHENOM II X 4 955be @3.2 GHZ | ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO mb | Corsair XMS3-8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory | Nvidea GTX 580 GDDR5 GPU | CNPS9900 NT cooler | Corsair HX850W psu | Seagate Barracuda 500GB HD 300 MBps - 7200 rpm | WIN 7 64bit | 32" HD LCD TV | 5.1 surround sound | wireless keyboard and mouse | Saitek x45 hotas.
Mustang Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Would also be great if we could see the tracer round "lob" to target on sabots and heats. Only APFSDS-T have tracer, not HEAT. If you like you could use the attached file, it'll give AP rounds tracer effect.
Evil.Bonsai Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Only APFSDS-T have tracer, not HEAT. If you like you could use the attached file, it'll give AP rounds tracer effect. I extracted both files, and neither gave a tracer affect. I extracted first one, the the other to the ...world/shapes/ folder. No tracer affect for me. NM: copied and pasted the file and it worked. Tracer is intermittent, but it's there. Edited July 14, 2012 by Evil.Bonsai
Buzpilot Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) This will be adjuste in the next beta. I hope dust will be adjusted for speed too, atm full dust in 1'st gear seems too much.

Evil.Bonsai Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 I hope dust will be adjusted for speed too, atm full dust in 1'st gear seems too much. For shot smoke as well. I was driving along at 60kph with barrel at 90 degrees: after each shot, the smoke stuck to the barrel. I was hoping that shooting sideways would lessen the smoke visual impairment. Nope. :huh: :)
diveplane Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 how about implementing dust and smoke drift with winds speeds taken into account. https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
Evil.Bonsai Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 this effect also needs adjusted for seasons and wet weather ingame. wet = none Just found this out today: if you drive close to water/river, you leave no dust trail.
Boogie Van Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 The smoke/dust trail is seriously over the top in every way. And oddly enough, dust-plumes from shot impacts are freaking tiny. You'd expect it to be the exact opposite with all the dust kicked up from rolling around!
diveplane Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) yep needs rewritten the shell explosions impact visuals cannon fire is not dust clouds?, its heat flame spent gun powder coming out. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/M1A1_firing_main_gun_3.jpg/800px-M1A1_firing_main_gun_3.jpg http://sitelife.aviationweek.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/6/5/e6dcd8f5-8fdd-4121-b503-33c386c48156.Full.jpg http://www.murdoconline.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/marine-tank-at-29palms.jpg Edited October 25, 2012 by diveplane https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.

BaD CrC Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Yep. Or just set a rainy weather -> No trails. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
Buzpilot Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) A extreme example of dust thrown up with no wind. So it's possible but hardly happening in fields.

Wrecking Crew Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I want to add that the dust from tanks driving on railroad tracks is waay too much - seems like it is no different than driving over regular terrain. Tanks driving on RR tracks should not be as easy to spot by their dust as when they are driving on dirt.

Darkwolf Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Well since tanks can drive over cars - driving over a railroad shouln't be much of a problem. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site. Also....Join the largest DCS community on Facebook :pilotfly:
shagrat Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Well since tanks can drive over cars - driving over a railroad shouln't be much of a problem. OVER aka crossing should be possible though not as easy as it sounds. Same with the cars or even trees... need to know how to do it and the right approach, tempo + angle. Wrecking Crew refered to driving ON railroad track to hide the dust cloud, what will be possible IRL, but requires you to slow down to a crawl. :music_whistling: Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)
