More differentiation among the dust clouds raised by aircraft engines
« on: August 19, 2021, 03:49:42 PM »
Currently we have just two variations; one for summer and the other for winter.

I think there should be more, for other map 'camouflage' types, such as Desert and CBI, to name two. In this way density and color could be better matched to the landscape.

Furthermore, for each map type it would be good to have an effect dedicated for concrete (and possibly PCP) runways, and another effect for the rest. Less dust from better prepared surfaces than for crude fields.

Sounds good WxTech

Another small thing that adds realism.

I must admit I use the dust as an indicator for when to take off when aircraft start on runway.

Hi Glenn

Old post I know, but take a look at Gunny's video (reply #4)
Do you think the dust is just a tad over the top?

Note:
My short video is an edited version.
In reality, the entire screen turns yellow for about 5~10 seconds after the plane covers the dust made by the plane in front of it, and nothing is visible. That's why I edited that part for the viewers. If you look closely, you can see that part has been edited.
Desert may be fine, but I think it's excessive on the PTO's runway.
WxTech was probably the first to watch this video on my YouTube. That's why he came up with this idea...
It makes the dust different depending on the situation ??
What is the limit of the development of 1946 !!
The user is just happy.
Always grateful to all modders. Especially to the master Glenn...!!

I did indeed look at Gunny's video. ;)

And yes, I was struck by the prop blast dust density. It made me wonder if gunny had tweaked my effect, or if the map's camouflage was set to desert.

... ::( ::( ::(

I don't have any graphic skills to personally modify the effects etc.

I'm making a living in this forum with one - Ranwers' pilot.

Thank you for thinking I have that skill... ;D
