[ACKNOWLEDGED]Helicopter Dust/Smoke

[Murey2]

Hello,

 

 

I'm glade to see a lot of bugs getting attention and getting fixed. But as a helicopter pilot I still have ONE very big issue that is the rotor wash generated dust/smoke is totally screwing the experience and giving away helicopter's position in very unrealistic and unfair way.

 

 

 

 

 

As you see above totally unrealistic and giving away helicopters position! As compered to real life below check for your self. Even when above sand the dust is so white that is also giving away helicopter's position were it should be sandy in color!

Hi

 

Rotor wash is something we want to improve and is on the list to do, but I can not give an ETA on this.

 

thanks

Hey Bignewy I completely concur with previous comments on smoke.. Maybe have a look at integrating better smoke v4 I to the core programme. Its amazing and certainly represents smoke better and and ground smokes better as well as dust clouds on rotor effects and motor vehicle effects than what is currently present in the standard dcs.

Would be awesome to finally have a decent brownout effect and generally speaking, realistic dust effects. We can spot choppers on the ground or vehicles at insane distances just by the white dust it is blowing away. Smokes can also be seen from extremely far away and stick out of the landscape way too much.

You can try out Better Smoke v4 over in the DCS Mods section until something better some along.

Already installed and this is what we are asking ED. Can this mod be included as standard on the core programme.

The mod has caught our eye, and we are discussing things internally. We are looking to improve smoke / dust as mentioned above, but this can not be rushed, we have devs tied up in other fx areas at the moment.

 

thank you
