msalama Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Even yours had it. Not that much difference that I can see, really, and the ones ED attempts to simulate are a generation or two older than the Mk-84 shown anyway. So I'd say the FX shown are _still_ a vast improvement over the old FX. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

Fri13 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 As stated before though, you have to balance with performance, we dont want all this work done and then have a slide show anytime a bomb is let off...If the FX is dynamically generated then would be nice to have a setting to choose from a couple options like size and length so we can choose it based system performance. That is why bombing and artillery is visible for tens of kilometers for longer times than about 10 seconds even when wind scatters the smoke and dust. For low level it is as well a smoke screen, denying line of sight for moments. Why setting for size etc ain't fair by gameplay reasons if some players see better. It is far far better what we have now, but still needs balancing. -- I usually post from my phone so please excuse any typos, inappropriate punctuation and capitalization, missing words and general lack of cohesion and sense in my posts..... i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

Fri13 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 That's that really got me too. Maybe it's a little too visible, but hey- it's cool with me! :DI think it is slightly maybe even too little as we can't see the dust traveling on ground and fragments flying around, creating the illusion of it.

drPhibes Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Check the above.... Lots of fire from most... I am not talking Hollywood effects, buy there are clear fireballs in most bomb drops in daytime even. Even yours had it. Look the real bombs being dropped... You don't need a burning material for that. On a bombing drop training zone there ain't anymore anything that burns and yet most bombs generate big fire and smoke traces. Thanks to the OSD data from the high speed camera, it's easy to measure the duration from when the bomb first exploded to when the "big fireball" had all but dissipated. ~270 frames at 5400 fps = 50 milliseconds, or slightly longer than a single frame of PAL video (40ms). If that's your definition of a big fireball, then we're simply not speaking the same language... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xordus Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 wow, I've been waiting for this since I read they were looking to hire an FX guy for explosions. Really impressive! The current system has always been a huge letdown for me. Sucks to show friends how amazing the A-10 is, only to be visually impotent on ordnance delivery. This is a HUGE improvement.

Witchking Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Okaaaayyyyyyy!!!! THat is amazing. Holy crap. Great job ED. Love it. I agree... having ability to modify the smoke longeivity parameters, the fire parameters will allow different fx for different objects..example an ammo depot/fuel tanker/ground explosion etc. Keep it up.

Solty Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Adding more fire wouldn't be very realistic. They do that in Hollywood movies for more spectacular explosions but it just doesn't match up with real life. I agree about those bomb effects. They looke pretty good, but it will surely depend on how powerful the explosive is and remember that targets such as fuel tanks and ammo depots can blow with BIG and pretty firey explosion. P-47 strafing a train with machine gun fire: .50cal bullets hit another train: Another train hit with .50cal fire (probably fuel or ammo) And here JDAM: It all depends what blows up and definitely bombs that hit the ground will produce way more visible dust than a fuel tank blowing up above the surface. :) Edited October 3, 2017 by Solty [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.

Witchking Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Not sure where to place this since there is no official 2.5 thread, but this seems to be a video of the WIP explosions. If this is the case I will say that the effects are coming along very nicely! :thumbup: On closer look...there is already so much more improvement compared the teaser that matt posted. The smoke in the older video tended to descend into the ground and fade away looking very canned/artificial. This new video...the smoke rises and just dissipates as you would expect.
