how can i add smoke to the fire left on the water?

I understand what he's saying now.

The smoke stays on the oil fire as long as the ship is considered "alive" by the game engine. As soon as the ship sinks, and the kill is scored, the game engine turns off the smoke. But your oil fire effect is still there. Then you have an oil slick fire with no smoke.

The game engine connects the smoke with the ships status, not the fire graphic.

that pink smoke is from Alied downed pilot's. It was done in patch 1.3 to make it easier to find them and rescue them.

Go to the Bridge and use the Binoculars with your hud set to the bridge. When the marker for the Bino's turns red click on the rescue Pilot button to save them.

well i thought it was definately fire but i got on the free camera and watched the air attack and zoomed in real close to find a pilot there lol.

seeing it next to the crashed plane, it looks just like fire only pinker lol.

i have seen downed pilots before and found them in my scope but i havent seen one signal with a signal flare yet so i didnt know what it was.

WEBSTER, do you have pics of fire without smoke, or is this mystery solved?

It gives you the download for the Hud you asked about.

And WEBSTER that pink smoke is from Alied downed pilot's. It was done in patch 1.3 to make it easier to find them and rescue them.
