F-16 new vapor effect

I-Hawk

@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!

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.
