This is in the Flechetteeffect right? Yeah I first looked at this until I realized that this controls the ground impact effect, not the air bursting effect. The CBUsmoke.tga is the brown smoke that appears when the flechettes or bomblets impact the ground. That there is now a puff of smoke with the air burst after I edited the FlechetteAirBurstEffect shows that it's the right effect to edit... I just don't get why the puff is white and not red! grrr.

Ok, I found the FlechetteairBurstEffect I copied the entries from the 23mmflakeffect into the file. I changed the particle colors of the FlakCloud23mm to those from the red smoke marker effect. I changed the smoke from smokewhite.tga to RedSmoke2.tga SO... In game, when the flechette rocket air bursts there is now a nice little puff of smoke.... BUT it is still white!!! Any ideas as to why it's still not red?

Trying to think of a way to edit the effect for flechette rockets to give off those red puffs of smoke as each layer of flechettes are popped off. Any ideas on how to go about this? I have 2 ideas: 1) Edit the RocketInFlightEffect so that along with the exhaust smoke of the rocket, it pops off a quick burst of red smoke in flight. 2) Edit the FlechetteEffect so that a puff of red smoke is discharged once the rocket bursts in the air and does a similar ground hit effect as the CBUs I have a way to add extra smoke emitters that are set to go off at increasingly delayed intervals to give little red puffs as the rocket travels along?

I'm flying YAP's A-1H. It has a superb flight model in terms of yaw and torque, however there is one main problem... the aircraft flies so that its wings have an angle of attack of 0 degrees, in other words run flatly parallel to the ground, so that the nose is pointing down slightly. Once more, whilst flying like this with the level autopilot on, the aircraft still slowly gains altitude. Anyone know how to handle this?

Could anyone help in advising which lines of script do what for smoke effects? There's the below effect used int he ground war mod as a smoke grenade for when infantry are in contact. I'm trying to edit it and heavily reduce the volume, thickness and height etc so that it resembles a smoke grenade rather than an airborne smoke rocket.

Does any know how to edit the cockpit data so that the co-pilot for aircraft like the A-6, or F-111 show or don't show?

Tried it and like the results.... Any fore detailed idea what the ArmingTime= does?

Where do you edit the tracers burn time?

hmmm, yep its there, so wonder why im not seeing arty hitting the deck when the big guns fire.

Any idea where to find the ArtilleryGroundHitEffect? I can't see it in the effect folder, is it in one of the .CAT files? Can't see artillery exploding any more.

humph, was thinking for artillery and mortar rounds, as well as grenades from the Cobra.

Anyone know how to edit the tracer colour to get black? and what the different tracer textures are?

In the version of the Vietnam terrain I have I've noticed that there are some targets, bridges, buildings, many sampans, and even AAA in a few places but not others that are actually submerged partially or wholly into the groud, so that they are underground or maybe only the tops showing. Anyone else come across this and know how to deal with it?

Been looking for a ground object that was the layout for a sam site, as in the dirt tracks and earthworks around the sams. Anyone know where it went?

ok seen... but when they let rip in WOV, they fire shells that splatter all over the place, basically want to edit to tighten the grouping.
