Classic British Flight Sim

Hi,

Most often, an effect that I see is a smoke type effect e.g. contrails, engine exhaust, tyre contact smoke etc. Is it possible for a 'solid' effect to be made and 'attached' to an aircraft permanently through a revised aircraft.cfg ? I know it may be easier to incorporate it into the aircraft model but when the sources are not available it is not possible. I am thinking along the lines of something like this :-

or these

Hi JOhn,

I think you've put the wrong link up as that DC3 shows the Thales aircraft and I guess you're talking about the oil pollution versions I don't see any reason why you can't add as many effects to a model as you see fit and plonking a few smoke fx files around the rear end of the Dak to simulate oil dispersant would fit the bill and could be toggled on/off with the 'i' button.

Hi John

Thoe effect are transparent textures....free to wander about letting the background trough to a varying degree.

In order to have a solid teture something has to be there to texture.

This is something that needs to be added in the model as a part

Just seeing Daves reply........I thought you were talking about the spray unit rather that the spray..can you clarify please

Hi Dave,

The Thales was just another example of something to add if it were possible. Smoke/mist spray is an option for someone to add, I think there are some reasonable good crop dust effects available already for folks to add if they wish.

Hi Garry,

Thanks, Yes it was the solid appendages that I was enquiring of. I hadn't realised that all effects were transparent. Shame :-(

Hi John

Smoke and exhausts etc are transparent textures, some effect may be modelled......it's a shame bits and pieces can't be textured on or off but it would probably look a little naff if they could be.
