4.12 development update discussion and feedback

[1984]

hawks looks very good, maybe, even like candy... only sadly what it's only now, before all these years... and i can't understand (even looked in books about fuel tanks of sb-2), why flames on wings looks differently? it's something new like burning AIRCRAFT, or fuel which burning not in fuel tank, or just specific of realisation?

Fire without smoke is normal for fuel tank fires. It happens sometimes. It may later progress to larger fire with smoke.

On the topic of the FX: when a plane hits water in 4.12, will the splash be massive as in Il-2 or realistic as in CoD?

Well, its you. Particle effects are sometimes hard to catch on screenshots.

OMG is awesome, but i think my onboard video will suffer...

ok, really, remembered several photos of bombers with analogical flame, just thought what, maybe, fuel burns in air (after leak on previous screenshot), well, and flame and smoke on last screen with ship looks promising for realistic visualisation of front line etc...

I hope it will not. Effects where made with that in mind.

Don't know, I don't own CloD.

Hm, I don't know that for sure, but I guess, yes. Why do you ask?

Just wondering if all the Hawk 75 skins I have will still work.

I know that my P 40 skins won't work when the new later Hawk 87s make their appearance in the sim.

And you changed the water trail? It's look awesome.

Just a tips like that, smoke need to be darker like that

Well, in CoD there's just a little splash, like in Il-2 when a part of a plane falls into the water separately xD
