Okie, no worries, dont need it anymore. Was thinking of replacing the black smoketrail texture with a better looking one, but I figured out how to make me a nice thick black smoke when plane is badly hit. Tho, dont know how big FPS hit there is if multiple planes are smoking, the stock black smoke has a limit of IIRC 256 particles, I made it 2048. :rotfl:

Not my work this one, but I'm doing the same thing + I've managed to add the contrails to the bullets, similar to what you see in real guncams. Also, managed to add a better fire when engine or something is on fire.


I'll post some shots sometime later today.

Come ooon, 3 Stukas is a nice catch. Tho, you gotta learn to be more patient! Judging from the pic, you opened fire from 400-600 meters? Damnit, Krat! Havent you ever heard the quote from Erich Hartmann (or was it Galland? Aaaanyways!) 'When you think you are too close, get closer' or something like that. Especially when flying with limited ammo, shooting from afar is a waste of ammunitions. I have my converge set to 120m for both MGs & cannons, I usually open fire from 150-250m, depending of the target.

A good way to practise the distances is to set up a quick mission with an friendly plane of your choice and turning the icons on.

What do you mean "whooosh"......it pees adrenalin :hmm:

Dunno about IL2, but with BOB the best way to go for Stukas is to get beneath and behind them. I've got a couple of them like that, but never three at a time, always run out of ammo after the first one :P
