3D Engine Mixture Smoke Effect
« on: January 31, 2023, 01:04:09 PM »

If there one one part of IL-2's stock effects that I have always hated with a burning passion, it is the awkward looking lines produced by a piston engine when its mixture setting is too high for its altitude.



A subtle dark smoke using particle effects would look much better:



Download this effect here.

Installation: Put the "! EngineMixSmoke3D" in your active mods folder (#WAW3, #SAS, #UP#, etc)

I already addressed this in my effects pack, but making the appearance a bit different from the full throttle smoke.

I make no claim of making anything new; I simply made this for myself a few days ago, and figured it would be a nice idea to make it publicly available.

And I'm not casting aspersions; just pointing out how the wheel can be effectively reinvented. I find myself occasionally discovering that some brain wave that flashes forth in my noggin will already have been had by someone else.  ;D

Anyway FL, I like this subtle Mod.

Whatever others say, I love it, I use it my way
