Yes, it´s the particles.dat file.
Have a look into the particle generator and look at the particles 0;1;2.
They have all the same settings.. you have to adjust life, weight and maybe velocity.

Aye, I did some tests and I think I figured it out now. Thanks.

Ok, one more question, or more like confirmation. Am I right to assume, that the smoke particle can be 'animated' (dont know what it's called), like the fire and DC explosion particles? You know, use some of the same settings from DC explosion on the smoke particles and make sure the image is as it should yadda yaa.

Yes.

Playing with the different settings will teach you all you need.
And you may learn something that makes you go Hmmm.
Then you'll start playing with more and more stuff.
Then we'll see

Thanks Privateer!

The settings seem to be pretty close to the one's in IL2, just named abit differently. Need to start trying them and see what I can come with.

Ow and there's definitely will be a mod if I can achieve what I'm planning (should be doable).
