Gun smoke & flares.

 

DCS World 1.2.12 Gun smoke effect is overdone for all modules aswell as flares. You can't see your target coz of Gun smoke in airplanes with nose mounted guns.

Gee, guess I'm in the minority here! I prefere the new ones without all those little dots trailing behind the ignited flares themselves. I've seen them dropped, but never to me looked like the old models...always had some vapor expended behind them, not droplets or whatever the old pics show.

 

Just basing on real world, not game visuals. I prefer the new. Perhaps a little less vapor trail though on some would tweek it just right.

The new ones look alot better in some lighting situations and maybe a lil odd in others, they would likely look better in EDGEs lighting.

Unfortunately, now they're too bright for daylight but the smoke effect is better

New flares??

 

Hello, so I've noticed that the flares in DCS (at least for me) started to look different:

I am using the 1.2.14 Beta, though. So maybe it's because of it?

 

I haven't played DCS in 3-4 months, but I clearly remember that the flares looked very differently - the smoke effect was really cool and wobbling :)

I think the old flares looked WAY better and were more realistic than the new ones.....

-Col. Russ Everts opinion on surface-to-air missiles: "It makes you feel a little better if it's coming for one of your buddies. However, if it's coming for you, it doesn't make you feel too good, but it does rearrange your priorities."

We all think :) And it's because they were: more realistic

 

I'm gonna stop you right there.

"More realistic" ???

Notice how those flares slow down pretty quick due to drag, like the new ones. Also notice how drag counteracts gravity to make them fall rather slowly after their speed drops, like the new ones.

 

Now, tell me, how are flares that fly at 500 knots behind you for 20 seconds realistic? :lol: Visual-wise, however, the smoke could use a touch up.

If you want to talk to anyone about anything personal, send it to their PM box. Interpersonal drama and ad hominem rebuttal are things that do not belong on a thread viewed by the public.

One thing i have to point out... naming a thread.. "OK, so" is as useful as tits on a bull.

We should probably wait for 2.0/EDGE to judge them, then you guys can make a new 30 page thread about it ;)

 

Sith did it again. :lol:

 

Alrighty then.
