I was almost sure about it, as those extra entries didn't make any sense to me, bu thank you for confirming my supposition

That sucks

I believe that ship explosion effects are placed around GR2 models through their *_FX.GR2 files. If you open one of them in TDW's GR2 editor (an older version), and you select all of their bones, you will notice that they follow ship's silhouette, though you cannot see the 3d model, bu only imegine it. BazaFX effects, on turn, are linked to *_FX.GR2 through the *.fx file. If you want to see which bone is linked to which effect, just merge the three of them (in the order, *_FX.GR2, *.fx and BazaFX.dat).
Bones can be moved around using GR2 Editor, but I am a bit wary about tweaking *_FX.GR2 files anyway, because the last vesion of TDW's editor don't open them, which means that, though opening them, older versions might mess them up

Honestly, I don't see them making much difference in therms of pointed top end. On the contrary, they create a fastidious rounded clouds effect on top

What do you think

It seems I increased the values a bit too much

As you can see, 'water column' effect is still visible at a distance 7 km
I don't know what means 1500, but obviously it's not meters..
So, I decided to reduce all the values to 500/0.075 and re-test last changes..

What do you think, Gabriele?
