nothin' wrong with that... just workin' with what they had.

either way, it sounds better than il2's engine thats for sure
The devs mentioned that is exactly what they did, recorded Russian engine then synthesised it. I can't find the post but they said it was too expensive to fly out to record a Merlin/DB

yeah I know that too.. I mean that's why I typed that.. Luthier said that they didn't have the budget to record actual DBs and Merlins. so they used "Russia aircraft" instead.

Edit: Commenting on IL2 smoke mod that has since been removed.

Hmm, at a distance it looks alright, but up close it looks fake ( to me ). If you pause the video during the closeup shots, you see separate "balls" of smoke. ( 0:32 to 0:40 )

Lol, imagine if some of the CoD update stills had shown discrete "balls" of smoke. The complaints would have melted the internet

Smoke in the vid looks better or worse depending on distance, to me it seems he turned the smoke into a series of rotating sprites/textures which is kind of smart

Btw anyone else notice the LOD for ground shadows popping alittle for the hurricane video? Kinda looks odd.

Maybe,but I guess it really depends on the size of the fire.
