Cgjunk2 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I have a potential bug to report. When flying formation, I noticed that everyones tailpipes smoke in exact relation to my own throttle movements. For example, if I am flying in a mig 21 formation, and I reduce/increase my throttle quickly to induce engine smoke puffing, all aircraft in the form will puff at the same time, even though nobody else has touched throttles. I’ve also seen an f-16 in the same formation respond in the same manner to my throttle inputs. Not sure if this is only happening in MP, or if this a larger bug offline as well.

Cgjunk2 Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 I mostly fly on AO and non-combat, but it seems like it would make for a good exploit in finding your target :music_whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgjunk2 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Is this a recognized bug yet? I noticed that on AO server, the aerobatic smoke seems to change different colors randomly. Somebody mentioned that whenever one person on the server turns on colored smoke, everyones smoke changes to that color. I mention this because it seems these “sympathetic” smoke changes may be related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mention this because it seems these “sympathetic” smoke changes may be related.I've also noticed something akin to this. When I turn on smoke, and I look at the pods, it will be the color I selected. When I look away, then back at them, I see the smoke is now white. And if I follow me trail, I can see where my selected colored smoke stops and the white smoke begins.

Cgjunk2 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 I’ll check if this happens on single player. If so, I’ll grab a short track and upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgjunk2 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Here are a couple of tracks that show it happening pretty clearly. Hopefully this is enough to get it documented as a bug. If this is in the wrong format, someone please let me know how to do it properly.Sympathetic engine soot2 .trkSympathetic engine soot .trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
