F-16 new vapor effect
-
I like it but is the particlesys going to be able to support it?
-
in bms 4.35 add code to particlesys and show effect like photo,but in bms 4.36 to no effect.
cheers

@kouzi I can take a look and see if I can get it to work.

Interesting… is this screenshot from 4.35? And the added effect is those “clouds” above the wings?
But, from your ParticleSys code I don’t understand, this effect will run for every “chain” definition, means even the long vortex at level 0.
Anyway, I will check it later today but please tell what is the added effect that you do see in 4.35 and not 4.36.

the photo is bms 4.35 screenshot ,simulation vapor above the wings .
I send message for you, you can check my bms 4.35 particlesys file.

@kouzi - Hi, First of all let me say that we integrated your work into the BMS install by default for 4.36 Update 1 that will come sometime in the coming weeks/months. Big thanx for your work!
Regarding the difference between 4.35 and 4.36, the problem was that trail0.dds apparently isn’t part of 4.36, so the effect didn’t show because of the missing texture (PS code won’t run the effect if the texture isn’t defined). Use vapor0/1 instead and it’ll show fine.
Now, regarding the large cloud effect, TBH I didn’t liked it so didn’t integrated it. The code will be in ParticleSys.ini but is disabled (run command commented).
What I do suggest however if you want such effect, is to define it as an additional chain (in .dat file) rather than calling a trail from PS ini. A trail feels very “rough” (IMHO at least) as it “moves by” naturally due to trail behavior, I think a static chains definitions that will be very gentle in alpha and above the wing as a “cloud” (But not too large, means you will probably need more than one) will look better I believe. But anyway I wouldn’t start such effect at level 0, maybe level 1 or maybe even just level 2.Cheers!

AWESOME!!!
Big thanks to all!!!

@I-Hawk
thank you for your appreciationadd LV2 vapor effect will be amazing,full of expectation

add LV2 vapor effect…dissatisfied…
-
how about new LV2 vapor effect?
please tell me your opinion,thanks guys
kouzi -
I love this effect. LV2 looks much better!
-
@kouzi NOICE

You might disagree but original does look more natural across the surfaces in most instances depending on air density and moisture, because the mod looks more like the sonic boom effect.
So unsure what you are seeking to achieve.

Thanks for everyone’s replies

update first post

It’s very cool. Looks much more realistic now. Congratulations, it’s a big work. And, of course, thanks for share with community!!!
-
Great work, looks really good and with sound a cool increase in immersion.
I wanted to get sth like this to work on the F-14 for a long time, is there a limit to the vapor creation spots and can they be placed anywhere on the surfaces? Is there only one mode for vaport creation or can there be several? I ask due to the swing-wing positions leading to different vaporization effects.
-
hi
the vapor creation spots can be placed anywhere on the surfaces,must be in a fixed position,can’t put swing-wing position.
I use notepad software write code, I don’t know if there is another way.
