Maybe.... I can't say whether this is the camera shake causing the effect, but then maybe this is modelled in SoW? In the same way that the different prop-visuals are modelled dependent on the speed the player sets the game to....? Quite interesting, I can't wait to see this in-game. |

I assume the spiral pattern comes from tracer rounds that tumble. |

2nd: The shell comes from the barrell rolling on his own axis.all modern guns (ww1-ww2 included) have this type of barrell. ![]() 3rd: the rolling smoke tracer is the consecuence of the fast cooling of the shell (high altitude) plus the "2nd point" Last edited by kancerosik; 11-20-2010 at 01:12 PM. |

The corkscrew tracer smoke is much too regular to be caused by a shaking camera. And if that was the case, they would be in synch with the distortion of the tracer images - hard to compare for sure with low-res youtube clips but it certainly doesn't look like that. I have no doubt that this is a real effect, not a perceived one.

I can see a massive profile being created for my CH controllers.
![]() Looking good! |

I mean the question of the day is....
shall I purchase this year some "whatever" - christmas presents or shall I wait for the release of BOB SOW? That would be a real good gift ![]() Oleg would appreciate your advise ![]() Thanks for a upcoming great simulation Best regards and have a good weekend Manni |

If so, the projectiles came out of the barrel spinning, maybe because that we see the smoke spirals, isn't? If I can remember, the first time I saw this "spiral" effect moddled in a game was in FarCry, in the sniper rifle projectiles. Very nice touch! Last edited by LoBiSoMeM; 11-19-2010 at 07:53 PM. |

Love the screens.
Can't believe the spiraling tracers is still even under debate. It's a fact. Lots of things contribute, wing vibration, airflow across the guns, uneven burning of the tracer round, G-force, barrel condition and barrel rifling all contribute to this effect. Most bullets used at the time were also tail heavy (so they tumble easier) which can exagerate the wobble. |

Thanks, all, for the input on the tracers.
![]() Winny, I wasn't sure on the issue mate. I've had many people swear against the spiralling tracers, stating that the effect is down to the camera shake in gun-cam videos. As has been shown, a lot of evidence suggests that this might have added to the effect, but the effect is definately there ![]() To be Devil's advocate, how large can the spiral get? I'd imagine it's a lot smaller for the .303's and gun-cam videos that I've seen would support this. Thanks in-advance. I love the contrails too, they look great. Oleg, are all effects shown 3D? |
