[MOD] longer smoke/contrails

[LizLemon]

Increases the length of the smoke/contrails/coolant trails on aircraft.

 

Install by dragging the folder in the archive into the root of the BoX install folder, ie Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\

Cool. I'm going to give it a try.

[Ptk]

Nice, I like this.

[DD_Arthur]

Holy smokes!  Like it

Looks interesting.  I'm not sure how long these things should be, so I'm not sure yet whether or not I'd use this.  But I'm certainly intrigued by the possibilities.  Can this (or something like this) be used to make the fires/smoke from the crashed planes last longer?  (and if so, could that effect be done separately from making these aerial smoke trails longer?)

I had had the same question. Smoke from crashed aircraft for a longer duration would be more realistic. Thanks for posting that.

This is a nice addition! I hope Devs implement this on the base game!

I think that variable comes from a file that cant be altered but I'll try it out later and see for sure.

Hi,

 

thanks for the MOD, is there any way to make this work with the JSGME mod enabler?

 

Cheers

On your desktop, create a new folder and name it 'smoke mod' or something similar.

Download Liz's mod.  Unzip it and find within a 'data' folder.  Drag or copy/paste this folder into your newly created smoke mod folder on your desktop.

Now place the smoke mod folder into your games Mod folder,  open your JSGME mod enabler and you should see your new mod ready to be activated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At least....I think thats how I did it

[unreasonable]

That works - if your folder structure goes  ( IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad / Mods / Name of mod / data )  , and JSGME.exe is in your main IL-2 Sturmovik folder,    you will see the Name of mod in JSGME and it will install correctly.  

[Grajo]

Nice one! Thanks

[TheSNAFU]

Yeah I think I like this. Thanks!!

[keeno]

Thanks for the advice, I didn't know this, I'll give it a whirl!

 

 

Cheers

  Looks really good and quite realistic in the Game!

 

Would you like to share what numbers exactly you altered in the files ?

 

Thanks a lot

Nice mod!
Can any of our pilots like @Dakpilot weigh in on whether this is more realistic than what exists?

[Beazil]

This looks fantastic!  Thank you!  I hope it will work online but even for single player it will be a nice addition.

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

looks great on average should be with in the bubble, say 6km, should be sufficient.

[FTC_ChilliBalls]

How far will we be able to see this?

 

Sure, it´ll be helpful in spotting planes at 2k+ distance, but IMO its real potential lies in the 5k+ distance detection

Hello, doesn't support OvGME? Does the current version work ?! Things are good ?

Yes,  It's a staple in my game.  Works fine. 

I use JSGME.

[Mysticpuma]

LizLemon. 

I tried this mod with the latest 7.02 update. I tried with Mods on and off but don't see any difference (activated through JGSME), is this still working? 

 

I only ask as I would really like to see coolant vapour and "thin" smoke trailing behind the aircraft for a reasonable distance if possible. 

 

Here is a video I created without the mod, but the vapour trails would look much better if 3x longer. 

 

 

(would be great if they evaporated slower too.... but just longer would be great). 

 

 

[Beebop]

Sadly many things have changed since the "hotfix".  Longer Smoke Trails worked for me before the "hotfix".

Hopefully this, some other anomalies like searchlights that are dim and the game hanging at closure will be addressed ASAP.

 

(btw, if we have Tuskegee Airmen liveries shouldn't we have black pilots as well?)

Absolutely agree.....Pilot options would be nice ?

That mod for cashed planes is

Prolonged smoke and fire for crashed aircraft

 

[FTC_Zero]

Does this mod still work?

[Vamandrac]

Yes, it still works.
