Black smoke visible through clouds

[ColinM9991]

Just playing a session at the moment where I shot down an F-14 and could see the black smoke through the clouds.

 

Cloud preset is Broken 3 with a cloud base of 4,392ft

Have found the same thing with exhaust smoke from ships. Can see it through the clouds too.

I cannot reproduce this with current OB.

If you can, please attach a track.

I have track files from the same session I took screenshots of, but they're quite long. Do you have the ability to skip through the track to the correct time?

[Flappie]

Yes, thanks to time acceleration. But long tracks are not very reliable, especially when AI units are involved, because their behavior is not recorded in the track: they improvise when replaying the track.

 

Attach your track, I'll see what I can find. I'm going to test ship exhaust through clouds as well.

I'll spend a bit of time later going through the track files just to make sure I send the right one. If it's not exhibiting the problem then I'll try to reproduce, if not then I'll close this until I can reproduce this issue again; unless of course anybody else has a track file.

I'm going to have to close this.

 

I've just realised that I deleted my Saved Games folder when I migrated from Steam to the Standalone version. I don't have this track file anymore. If I can reproduce then I'll re-open in the future.
