Flagrum Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) I stumbled upon this video of the old, pre DCS, A-10C firing HEI: (at around 9:20) The explosions caused by the HEI are less "smoky" and more "flashy" than what we have now - or at least a lot of smoke occults the explosion flash today. When watching RL footage, the typical effect of HEI is a bright, sparkly flash - and usually no smoke, but maybe some dust. So, what we had back then seems to me to resemble the real thing better than we have now. Is there a way to revert to that older effects? Were would one have to look for the files to modify? (Or is this an other case for our mantra "with EDGE everything will be good again"? :o) Edited January 2, 2014 by Flagrum
Irregular programming Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Yeah I don't like them either, the old ones where much better. Don't think you can just replace them though because it's a completely different way of rendering effects.
Bushmanni Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 IRL the amount of dust kicked up depends on the terrain and weather so there's no "correct" effect for this. There's videos around that show much more dust and also ones with pretty much no dust at all. It would be nice if the effect would scale with the situation though.
