Is there any chance that 'realistic' looking smoke can be added in a future update?

If all you can do is contribute trite, brainless comebacks like that then you should take up teaching.

The only mod I saw here that was very impressive was the fuel truck effect, the rest didn't even come close to the quality of that effect. I also think Rominator makes a good point in his post.

ok, you better not replace the 2001 effects in 2011 with new ones because he doesnt have the hardware

I wonder if it would be possible to consider the option of adding a switch that could activate 'extra' effects?

Maybe a message like "Activate Extra Effects if you think your PC can handle it".

That way those who would like to see them can switch it on, those who don't (or aren't able to run them) can switch them off?

Almost like the option in the conf.ini "Effects = 1" or "Effects = 2" , how about an conf.ini option of "Effects = 3" for those wanting new effects?

@Mysticpuma and Vpmedia,



Make it an option or a line in the conf.ini file would be the best idea so that people can still have a game that can be run on their old system. The other problem that comes to mind is to decide wether the new effects will or won't change tactical situations in game (think better clouds for instance). Smoke would have to be done in a way that it doesn't change the tactical situation (object could be more visible or hidden by smoke, the visible distance at which one can see the smoke etc...) It's not just for cosmetics IMHO

origeffects=1 for older rigs, just like typeclouds.
