Puffs of smoke move too fast

[kedrednael]

Yey, again I've got the 3th reply on the most idiotic topic in the forum!

The smoke particles are not shot backwards you can see that with a static camera and stuff.
Maybe you are not compairing with airsoft this time but with il2 1946.
In il2 there was gasresistency, that was low in il2 1946, that ment that when smoke was emmited by a fast moving aircraft the particles would move with the aircraft a bit, because of that the amount of smoke particles could be lower (the emitfrequency could be lower because the distance between the particles would increase less fast as when the particles immidiatly stood still in the air (this really mattered a lot in amount of particles)). I think this is not the case in COD anymore so the particles move at a more real speed.

Sorry for the bad english.

[edit] O Ataros stole my 3th place .

[edit] maybe the planes move too fast? I'm sure they can fly well at 100km/h with that propwash? Or the trees wave too fast?

YES there is a way, you need to go into the game files and find the .eff files for the smoke that is triggered whit fire and tracer hits etc and then lower the GasResist to 0.03 that is what it is in il2 1946. It's probably higher in COD. good luck.

[edit] too make the smoke look less fast you need make it move faster so it moves with the plane.
