Check out this video to see what difference the smoke and flame effects make to the 10-year-old game engine!

To be honest, some of the effects look over done, to me anyway. The video was either post-processed, or shot with a camera, so it's not a completely fair comparison.

here are modern effects for the game

Some aspects of these were highly over-done as well, including the shockwave effect of bomb hits, napalm explosion, and hit flashes. I do like that they figured out how to have the gear lower when the hydraulics are damaged. I'm not sure I liked the mid-air explosions (looks like Death Star blowing up). The fuel truck explosion looked very nice, but honestly looks a bit flat and doesn't fit in with the other effects.
The big issue to me is that those updates are going to grind my computer to a halt whenever a big boom happens

I didn't make the avatar, I just found it. I don't even know who the real author is
