Friday 2010-12-10 Dev. video update and Discussion
 

Hi,

I promised to post videos some time.
Here is the first of them.

1. Engine start. Flame and smoke effect. Every start is different (in realtion to emulation of real engine cylinders work by a program).
Sound is currently a place holder. Unfortunately I wasn't able to record in a track at the moment maximal settings (some unpredictable bug in recording of video need to be found and eliminated )

2. Effect of exhaust flame at night time. Emulation of each cylinder exhaust in relation to emulation of real engine cylinders work by a program.
My question to community: isn't it too yellow? Maybe to add a bit red color in a mix with yellow? It is tunable really, so I would like to listen suggestions

awesome...maybe a little red or orange would be good.

Well this is not a british engine but maybe this gives you an idea how it should look like?

Very nice update! Videos are always so much more than still pictures.. :D
Yeah, maybe a little too yellow.. should it not be more white rather than redish?
[EDIT] ok.. after seing Wutz vid of the DB.. (I wasn't way off with "more white") I change my mind to whitish-blue ;)

Sweet, thanks Oleg.

Yes a bit too yellow, needs to be turned down and perhaps blue after effects added like in the video Wutz linked too...

Way too small detail to worry about...release the game as it is :-P!

I would go more with Blue...

Hello Oleg --

many thanks for the update !

Yes, I think it's too yellow. It should actualle be more white/blueish, like in the DB 605 engine video posted above. But I have to admit that I have no idea what the difference from engine type to engine type makes.

In all of the accounts I've read, the pilots refer to Blue flames from the exhausts at night.

The flames matching the firing order is very impressive!:grin:

Excellent work. Probably less yellow.

RedToo.
