.303 Tracer, made in 1943, probably used in Hurricanes.
Burns about 3 sec, and not really any smoke at all.

Hello,

first time here and i have to say this game looks so beautiful.
Hopefully it comes out this year

Regarding tracers and smoke.


Im no expert but i allways thought the "smoke" was more related to air tempetures, meaning the colder it is/higher up they are fired the more smoke is beeing seen. Smoke as in vapors caused by cold air meets hot shell.


Just guessing.

the full game on our computers the first words out
of our mouths will be WOW

the smoke here looks like its just from 20mm cannon from a 109, dont think i see tracers or smoke from MGs though.

by the way not moaning about SOW tracers or lack of smoke, Oleg said they have it sorted, just thought people might want a look

About the tracers, dont forget, most of the info goes from footage of film cameras, very old ones, with many technicals limitations on very very shaky platforms, i mention this just for the spiral and curve observations.Also shatter speed and other settings.Anyway its amazing how well some of the footage turned out, considering the conditions.

I don't think that's a factor here. Temperature and air humidity come into play with water-vapor related effects like contrails or visible wing tip vortices. Smoke however are unburnt particles which usually dissipate quickly, regardless of the atmspheric environment.

I'm so buying this game!
