Improved Effectstrailersmoke

View File

---

the previous posted no-tracer and withtracer effectfiles work quite well, but the trailersmoke effect file (the version where the bullets leave a trail of white smoke behind) was too unvisible.

 

JFM was so kind to send me a picture of Rudolph Berthold shooting trailersmoke bullets, thank you JFM! they are indeed very white and rather good visible. so i created an improved version of the effectfile where it matches the look in the pic quite good. it also takes a bit longer to fade away.

 

for anybody who wants to try it, here is the improved effectfile ready for download.

 

please first copy the original effectfile and paste it somewhere on your rig where it's save. then copy this effect version and paste it into

 

C:\OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields

 

it's not an own creation though. i combined an existing OBD file with Rabu's version of smoketrail and tweaked it a bit. so credit should go to them.

 

Hellshade was so kind to make a short vid, so everybody can take a look at it before trying. please note that no matter which HD version you look at, youtube vids always have a loss of quality, so it's best to watch it fullscreen. in the sim it looks much better of course.

 

here it is

 

thank you hellshade! (btw. the last seconds are very breathtaking. good job)

I was wondering if it is possible to obtain just the changes that were made to the Effects.xml file for this and also for the "Realistic Tracers and Effects - effectswithtracers" mod that you made. I have already made numerous edits to the Effects.xml file for other mods and trying to make those changes to yours will be quite difficult if not impossible. I really would like to use both of these mods and am looking forward to implementing them. Thanks very much.

I'm trying to fly a DVII in 1918, and I've got no tracers smoke, or anything, even though my SE5 does. Do I have something messed up, or did the Germans not use tracers?

sorry, must have missed your post.

 

did i understand correctly? you fly with the se5 and have tracers, then you fly fokker DVII and there are no tracers? that shouldn't be like that. usually the mod automatically stands for all sides and all sorts of guns from you and AI. it would be cool if it could be seperated that some have tracers, others not at the same time, but unfortunately it isn't like that.

 

does it work now or do you still have this problem?
