Smokepods

[skyhawkmlt]

Are wingtip smokepods available already in BMS? I have just seen the Solo turk use them and was wondering how because I never found how to get them

Hi!

@skyhawkmlt:

No.

[ZELEGEND]

I think it must be a mod that was available for another falcon variant that can be used for FBMS too.

[skyhawkmlt]

Any ideas about it? Smokewinder mod or something? I tried searching and can’t find anything

[Fenrir]

Change the .dat file for the aircraft, ie make it have two engines and put them on the wingtips?

In this case FM will be a joke…

^That F-16MLU AMD community RNLAF Demo Team skin by Nanard used to have the dds files and an instruction how to swap Sidewinders for smokewinders. I have no idea if this had any functional meaning, I say 99.99% only visual.
Here’s the readme.-

**_…

This skin has been drawn after the new J-055 “TeamWork” F-16 MLU used by the KLU
for the airshows

Don’t look at the design for too long as it will hypnotize you…

The man has many talents! I love that skin…maybe I find an older FF shot with it, AFAIK the same which is also inside BMS Korea. Had many flights with that skin…

If you put two engines on F-16 to simulate wing smoke how can be a minor issues? What about the inertia if the thrust position is on wing…?

I haven’t tried but I have an idea. Maybe you can add more engine to wingtip with 0 thrust. In this case it can have wingtip smoke but does not solve the problem, because your real engine also will use smoke… For FreeFalcon I did the wingtip smoke long time ago for twin engine equipped AC.

Indeed, too bad he left…

Bump, any ideas on how to get this working?

Thanks!

Here you have an example.

You just need to change the FM.dat so it has two engines on the wingtip. (as you can see in the left corner )
Than adjust the thrust and fuelflow by dividing it by 2.
If you do this correctly, you have exactly the same flight behaviour as a non adjusted FM.

very nice demo. could i know what kind of external view in use on this video? thanks

[molnibalage]

My guess is shift + 8 with a tweaked stationary ground unit which had transparant skin. I use the same in my videos or just simply the ground units is panned out during editing the video.

Noooo, that is wayyyy to difficult.
That is just done with MP. Ac parked at the correct spot for the camera position.
Engine off, empty shell cockpit and canopy open.

Another way but the cockpit bubbe can be problematic and visible in some cases.

Another way but the cockpit bubbe can be problematic and visible in some cases and of course in single player you cannot use this way because you fly and there is no other player in game.

[Falcas]

That demo was recorded a long time ago, if I remember correctly, I removed the cockpit completely.
