Gun smoke

[Mike Busutil]

I would assume this has been discussed before but I could not find it.

 

I tried to search other threads but there are hundreds of threads spread everywhere and honestly It is a mess trying to navigate my way to a single subject using the search option....

 

With all the awesome detail this sim offers the P-51 gun smoke needs some work.

 

The smoke detail looks good but I hate how the smoke stays glued to the wing while firing and then suddenly goes flying off the wing when I release the gun trigger.

 

Has there been any talk about getting an upgrade for this?

I just stumbled upon this. In my opinion the smoke on the P-51 is a bit overdone. It's to thick (opaque) and in flight it should not extend that far in front of the wings. On ground its way to overdone, too.

 

EDIT: and its broken, too. Just keeping the trigger pressed and the smoke vanishes at the tail of the plane. Just after releasing the trigger, the smoke magically stays in the air. So there is some kind of wire between the smoke particle and the plane. ;) The engineers that have designed the P-51 in WWII are way (perhaps a few hundred years) beyond any technology of today. :-D They were able to manipulate small particles several feet away in the air and make them invisible just by pressing a trigger.

Nah, it's a carbo-magnetic field. The mechanism that cycles the guns generates it, and it creates a containment barrier that traps carbon-containing particles.
