Trident Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Was about to post this in that locked video thread, but I was too slow ;) I think this is something ED might want to consider though. "I do agree that the CBU- and other explosions in LOMAC could be more realistic. Don't get me wrong, they look great, but their style is too hollywoodish. I sure miss these: http://www.lockon.ru/img/technology/pic1_67.jpg ftp://ftp.ubisoft.com/games/lomac/media/lockon_movie20.zip With slightly more and smaller sparks (like in the current cannon ground impact effect: http://www.lockon.ru/img/products/large/426.jpg) it would look absolutely perfect. Also these http://x-plane.org/home/Trident/Explosions1.jpg http://x-plane.org/home/Trident/Explosions2.jpg would look much better than the current HE explosions, if given a shock wave and arcing debris (http://www.lockon.ru/img/hotrocks/ScreenShot_004.jpg) like we have with the current ones."

ED Team Glowing_Amraam Posted November 22, 2005 ED Team Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hm, you're right, one of the explosion effects from the versions before FC is missing. Never really thought about it. But yeah, those explosions looked pretty awesome, with lots of smoke building up then rising up. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJRhtnqA-67pKmQ3A2GsgA ED youtube channel https://www.facebook.com/glowingamraam My facebook page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radooh Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Those effects look awesome. Especially the one with the a10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humm dont know, kind of love that last pic with the debris and stuff:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trident Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 So do I. Maybe I didn't express myself clearly enough, what I'd like to see is the explosions from the 2 pictures before that one combined with a shock wave and the debris as seen on this last screenshot :) Forgot to add that I think the current mushroom-cloud type effect is actually fine for FAE weapons like the ODAB-500, for example. It's just the CBUs and conventional blast/fragmentation warheads that I'd like to see changed back to (modified versions) of the earlier effects shown above (yes, incase anyone didn't notice those were actually LOMAC screenshots, showing pre-release versions of the sim!). Any idea why they were dropped? Framerate problems (that would be a sound reason, I guess)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Was about to post this in that locked video thread, yup, anything todo with kosovo/kosova/serbia normally tends to get locked around here pretty quick due to an over patriotic member. :D :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellonet Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Any idea why they were dropped? Framerate problems (that would be a sound reason, I guess)?Couldn't be much worse than it is now ;) And they do look much better. i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 thats why patriotic is a good word, as i would feel exactly the same way, if that were happening to me. too much patriotism is a good thing, it proves you love your country no matter what is happening. means you will stick up for it no matter what is said or done to it. and i respect the dude for going up against all the people in the forums. just a pity its usually 1000-1 odds and its gets locked. its always easy to pick on little people or countries by bigger people and bigger countries, no matter what happened where and who was to blame for whatever, in war both sides are as bad as each other. propoganda on both sides makes it seem better and easier to justify. And his posts on that subject seem to get locked all the time due to the fact that 1000 ppl disagree with his post/s and he is the only one fighting his corner. Propoganda and favouritism at work right in front of ya. I wonder if the situation was reversed, and it was 1000 for and 1 against. instead of 1000 against and 1 for, if it would still have the same outcome. Me seriously thinks not. politician cap is now off, and nub cap is now on, no more politics for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
