hey asanovic7

- feedback!
first of all id like to say thanks for all your great work so far. this mod is no doubt the best FX mod there is, in terms of eye candy. keep it up!
just a coupla thoughts tho. the texture of the smoke is great, much better than normal. however, i agree with some of the posts above that the colour does need to be darker, especially at night (im using olce2 2.3 at the moment). also, i'd be wary of downgrading the quality of the FX: the whole point of this mod is that it is high quality. sure, it hurts fps, but on my new-ish mid-range computer even the most catastrophic explosion only causes a drop to around 20 fps, where it still looks great! it would be nice for your fans with older computers to use it, so maybe you could keep what youve done so far intact and do another version which is more lo-res for older computers? like i said, aside from the colour of the smoke i like it as it is!
a final thing. like you suggested in the readme, i tried using the original gwx zones.cfg instead of yours. to be honest, i dont think this combination worked that well - i prefer your zones.cfg. it certainly didnt seem to me that it caused any unrealistic, extra damage in comparison. also, ive istalled this mod over the latest version of lifeboats&debris and everything seems to work ok.
if we meet, i'll buy you a beer. if racerboy ever comes back i'll get him one too
