OK 

[CWMV]

Ok Im trying to figure out where to put this to make it work. Running UP 2.01 with IL-2 1946 Plutonium Maximum Effects Mod V1 (although Im not sure its working either...)
Where does this need to go? Right now its sitting in my mods folder.

[CWMV]

It is in the right place, now open the HP&G  folder and tell us if there is a 3do folder immediately visible.

(also, recall not all planes are included and it only shows "inside cockpit" effects, no external view effects)

Im an idiot...HP&G, got it!
No the HP&G is a non readable file only-not a folder...might be the problem?
EDIT: Yep, that was the problem...didnt import the folder just a file that needed unziping. works just fine now. Thanks!

I realise this is an old topic. I'm trying to get animated oil blotches & blood splats to work with UP2.1 without success.

1. Is this mod included in the HG & P plutonium or uranium effects?
2. Is this mod superceded by any newer (or better) versions?
3. I notice cockpit files are for a limited number of fighters only, any update for the many new planes? What about bombers?
3. I can't get it working. Using a P40E in QMB without success.

Hi HG&P...which mod's version is that?


Regards

@ _AUS_Salmo

It's not included in any effects mod , it's completely separated mod .
it works with UP 2.01 , I have no problem seeing animated oil blotch effect 
Just try to place for test this mod as first one in to your MODS folder .


@ hguderian
that video was not intended for youtube , it was just work in progress behind
the scenes between me and Potenz back in times we were working on
animated oil blotch effect as screenshots can't show such effect in action 
Potenz uploaded this video to youtube by accident , this was not WIP video
destinated for topic update on work progress 
What you see was not doable as there were a tons of other issues with that design
and textures shape because almost every aircraft have differently mapped cockpit glass
making it exteremely frustrating work as it's not easy at all to take one design
textures fits all cockpit glass shapes approach .
It was one of the most frustrating and difficult mod to do that we ever tried  .

S! HG

HG,
Thanks for you prompt response, and all your great game enhancements. I've got the oil blotch mod working with JGSME via a tutorial link here http://allaircraftsimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=30035&p=338239&hilit=oil+blotch#p338239

Let me attempt to answer this..

1: No (knowing that HG,P&W Company might be working on other projects)
2: In relation to the above answer, the mod in it's current state is what you get.

As far as I know, HG,P&W won't be upgrading this mod anymore, based upon my current knowledge on their projects and whereabouts.

were do u put this filei have no idea were to put it

I'm not really sure about the realism of the blood splatter. For one, the splatter in the video appears to be where the bullets have entered the canopy right next to or on the bullet holes. I would think that once a bullet has entered the canopy, depending where it hits the pilot, would produce a random splatter anywhere in the cockpit. I don't create any mods so please don't take this the wrong way. I just wanted to point that out.

Hi sa_475th_Chaney 

you're absolutely right but this mod was worked on by us around early November 2008 
Back then it was a pipe dream and was asked for a zillion times to get some additional
blood effect in to cockpit so we did this workaround trick at least to have some
which unfortunately by these days standards is not perfect 
Latter on Wolfighter did start working on new separated cockpit blood splatters so this
animated oil blotch/blood splatter was no longer necessary but it remained to be part
of animated oil blotch mod .
We can do these days 2011 mind-boggling things but the new very complex and aircraft speed
driven animated oil blotch which was worked on by Wolfighter , Potenz and me was canceled
due to each aircraft different canopy glass mapping which was causing work on it a fuking
nightmare in editing meshes and cockpits incompatibilities . 
This old animated oil blotch mod is one of those mods where you just get limited also by the
game engine beyond frustration when working on it so it works and looks as it is .
