Just wonder would it be possible to simulate different effects of a bullet penetration of:
- full tank - fuel leaking as the only result
- empty/almost empty tank full of vapours - immediate detonation
- empty tank equipped with inerting system - no other result than holes.
I have dug around for ages looking for a copy of the RAF sector map. Can't find anything other than a few partial images.

Thanks for digging those references out for me, I will dig through them and see what I can do

I have added point lights to the deferred renderer when guns fire, the effect is very subtle, but interesting
I remember reading an after action report from a beaufighter pilot who claimed he was able to locate and shoot down two JU88's by tracking the light from the engines. He said that the engines sparked brightly enough for him to see the aircraft and get into a shooting position.
Does anyone else think this is correct?
| Hook | To give location |
| Particle system | This is the only way to do thousands of lights for the forward renderer, and an extra effect for the deferred renderer |

This seems to get acceleration values and convert them into an angle which is then limited to +- limit. What does it represent?

I am using an approximation that the pilot requires 1 litre of oxygen per second for each ten thousand feet above 15000 feet.
