the file the nice modder send me works, but it look not so cool in real game (also had it better in my memories) and the fire make no smoke behind it

[santobr]

Yes, these files are only for fire.
The stock smoke is too ugly to match the new effects.
I think you need socorrista's motor fire smoke mod to complete it:

the best way could be just an option to use these textures as replacement in plutonium, so that it use the plutunium effects for smoke, fire on off and so on...

Hi Sanka! Great job! Thank you very much. I want to ask if you have any plans to to combine Full_Throttle and IL-2 1946 Plutonium Universal Max Effects for 4.10?

As a word of advice: I would make them "compatible" instead of combining..

This gives users the choice to use it or not, as both mods ask alot from the game engine.

Brilliant job mate, the flak light effect in the cockpit is superb.

I have a few things to add though, have you seen here :-

http://forum.aviaskins.com/showthread.php?p=90899#post90899

its a compilation of FX revolution and plutonium at aviaskins, i was wondering if you could add the engine fire to your mod please? give it a try i think it looks more realistic, also the bomb explosion effect.

Is there any chance of adding the dynamic light effect to airplane fires please? It would be good if the airplane had a sort of orange glow effect similar to the fire, at the moment the fires give off no light at all, this is ok in the day but at night its a bit of an immersion killer.

see here for example :-

Can the dynamic light that lights up the airplane from searchlights be much brighter please? planes caught in a searchlight beam should be visible for miles around, rather than a few hundred meters like the default effect.

see here, but brighter

Can searchlight beam be more intense and have greater distance? also light up cloud base from below so that aircraft are sillouhetted? see images below

Finally another addition to immersion can be found here :-

Buffy's flak v.5 adds some bright orange fire balls to the flak, it looks really good alongside your light effects, give it a try, just make sure it loads before your mod.

Thanks again mate for an excellent addition

cheers

I have crash on vehicle explosion effect. I thought that it was fixed. Could you please explain me how ti solve this issue ? (I use UP3)

[supercrapnstuff]

okay about that fire effect i reposted, is there an install for that?

[sanka]

- Make sure you have the latest version of the mod
- Make sure Plutonium gets loaded first among your mods (add 0000 in front of the Plutonium folder name if you're not sure)
- Disable "Mods files cache" in the IL2 launcher
- Remove file ~wrapper.cache in your #UP# folder

Slipper, good ideas, I'll include an increased visibility of searchlights in a future update, along with light from mid-air explosions. As for aircraft fires, it could be nice addition; I'll look if it's possible.
BTW, a special version with no smokes at night is in the works I'll see if it improves FPS when bombing large areas. Anybody has a nice mission file with plenty of bombers dropping their load on a huge city? It would help me test it
About the other effects (FX revolution and such): can't you just combine them with Plutonium? Or are they incompatible?

Also, did someone with 4.09 test the flak light effect for the original Plutonium? Does it work correctly? I'd like to add it in the first post.

Hi Sanka! Great job! Thank you very much. I want to ask if you have any plans to to combine Full_Throttle and IL-2 1946 Plutonium Universal Max Effects for 4.10?

Isn't the full throttle mod already included in DBW?

Thanks mate, for looking into the suggestions i had above. Very glad to here the no smokes version is on its way 

I have combined the 3D0 and effects folders from FX revolution in the link i gave you, with your mod and all appears to run ok with nice engine fires. But i am not sure if i am missing something, would all the classfiles reference the same effects files and such?

By the way mate, did you try Buffy's flak effects i mentioned above? They complement your mod really well i think.

cheers mate.


p.s i could knock up a trial mission for you if you like, although i am having a bit of a problem at the moment with ctd's ( i think i am near the java limit with my DBW 1.6 installation), let me know mate.

[Hey_Joe]

Hi sanka,

Can't tell you how much I hoped someone would fix the class files for Plutonium. One of my favorites. Best FPS on my computer.

Thank youuuu, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
