Explosion effects


Trident

Recommended Posts

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:

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.

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."

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.

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)?

yup, anything todo with kosovo/kosova/serbia normally tends to get locked around here pretty quick due to an over patriotic member. :D :rolleyes:

Over-patriotic, or he just might be fed up with seeing people he knows get killed. No laughing matter in any case.

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.
