Can't use 'em.

Pretty to just fly around sight seeing, but if combat is part of the plan they are just too heavy of a load.

And whats more, AI cant see through clouds, but they only see the stock ones. If you add huge mod cloud textures the AI can still apparently see through them.
Kinda negates the excellent work on the AI we've seen of late.

Interesting, I did not know that.

Well I will add that this is based on the observations of many offline players, nothing official from TD on the issue of course.

Nik-why grass?

It would make sense that the line-of-sight of the AI is checked against a primitive(sphere/cube) or a 2D rectangle at the location of the cloud, which is independent of the texture.
Using the actual cloud shapes would require some type of raytracing and is very performance intensive.

Amazing effects!IL2 on steroids!
I'd really like if they incorporate,since it saves you from all the troubles that might (and sometimes,will) happen when you install one or more mods.
Still waiting for TD to finish IL2 to get into this mysterious world.

Comparison of 4.12m and the Orginial Low Particles/Low FPS mods (What's your thought?)

Hi,

I just re-watch this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AUwv0qIZIc

and you can see that the smoke from the plane is longer and is more black than the 4.12m version who look like green-brown.
You can see that the fire have some red flames in it (2:10) and in the 4.12m video, the flame is like the normal flame (white and yellow) and is in circle. It could be nice to have better flamme like this photoshoped flamme : http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2144/ju52flamming.jpg

What do you think?


PS: I found that too

Whoa, whats that? The winddriven Smoke columns are that what I'm looking for.
That looks so real, I love it.
Will that be implemented in 4.12.1?
I mean, a computer that can handle ClOD will play with it.
