[MOD] longer smoke/contrails

[LizLemon 1020]

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.

Nice, I like this.

[DD_Arthur 2747]

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 3161]

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.

Nice one! Thanks

[TheSNAFU 138]

Yeah I think I like this. Thanks!!

[keeno 295]

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?

[JG51_Beazil 571]

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 680]

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

[So_ein_Feuerball 88]

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
