I'll try and test it, and of course let you know! thanks

[FilMit]

New update: light from flak bursts now added. See first post

sanka,

What do you think about "3D Smoke Trail" and "3D German 20mm Cannon Spiralsmoke" ?

Do you have a link?

   Please, "3D Smoke Trail" http://forum.aviaskins.com/showpost.php?p=90007&postcount=8 (select the first attach mod_3D Smoke Trail.zip)
 
  and

   "HGuderian Weapons Smoketrails plus Tracers Repack_410 & UP3 COMPATIBLE"  https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,12514.0.html

  and 

   the original old version for 4.09 from Eexhaton (thank him for starting this mod) https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,3897.0.html

If I correctly understood...there's no reason to include in Plutonium every "smoketrails mods" cause they're already compatible with it since they don't use any code file..as stated by HG&P authors.

I've them workin' on my IL2, also if I load them after Plutonium beauty!

Cheers

Yes, most of these effects should be compatible with Plutonium, as long as they don't touch to the classfiles...
FilMit, did you try loading these tracer mods with Plutonium? If so, is there one of them which is not working?
If you have special effects files you want to include, either load them before Plutonium (by adding "00000" in front of the folders) or simply merge them with Plutonium.

   Everything works with Plutonium without problems, but I thought, well, when all in one, without a lot of folders.

@FilMit
IMHO often is better more flexibility...moreover about effects ;=))) ...cause the aesthetical tastes of each one.

@sanka
hi...do you've take a look at the underbelly fireburst effect which was abandoned by HG&P?

Thanks again for your work!!

Regards

If you want to, you can just copy the "3DO" and "Effects" folders from other mods and paste them in the Plutonium folder, overwriting the Plutonium files. This way you will have one neat and tidy folder

No I haven't looked into it yet, but do you have more info about it? Did HG&P at some point release a version of it?
If I code it from scratch I need some suggestions from you guys
Should it replace the standard fire effect for all planes? Or should it appear under certain conditions? Should it only be a visual effect or should it have consequences on the aircraft and pilot? (ie. the plane is no longer at risk of exploding, and the pilot at risk of burning when the fire stops)

[hguderian]

Sorry...For me I haven't more information about it. I've posted a video in the plutonium thread.

I don't know what problems they encounter whit that effect, so they haven't release it.

BTW it could be a gorgeous addition!!

[Eexhaton]

I can't fully confirm this, but the underbelly fireburst effect was abandoned for a certain reason..

I should try to figure out why, but I have some idea.

Just sayin'

[hguderian]

I'm curious a lot about that!! I hope it wasn't "That" certain reason...

Thanks Eexhaton!

[Eexhaton]

Well, as far as i've been told, alot of planned cool effects simply got scrapped because the game engine limits were hit too often with all that graphical stuff going full-bore.

As said; i'll try to investigate a bit, try to get a more definitive answer.

[Eexhaton]

Underbelly fireburst effect got canceled due to functionality issues and unfinished coding..


That's all I got for now.
