Close encounter of the third kind?

Postby deadkennedy » Sat Nov 12, 2005 4:06 am

Yesterday I was flying some cargo runs in Peru. Just minding my own business.

Image

When suddenly something strange appeared on our 6.

Image

It was some kind of fireball.

Image

Worst of all, it seemed to be following me.

Image

No mather what I tried, it just kept following. What is that thing?

Image

Then, all of a sudden it was gone. Just vanished into thin air.
But it scared the living daylights out of my co-pilot. Just look at his face.

Image

Maybe it was some top secret new weapon, or even a visitor from outer space, I really don't know.

Coool!  ;D Poor co-pilot!  ;D

How did you get this? Did you damage the plane, causing the smoke? I know some effects like to stay at a certain altitude. If you go under it, the effect follows your plane, but separated from it...

Your co-pilot looks like he has just been given a napalm enema ;D

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

You could also get this effect by modifying the X,Y,Z parameters in the [smokesystem] section of the aircraft.cfg file.

REALLY cool stuff, and a great idea to play around with, deadkennedy! ;D

same thing happens with the F14 Tomcat. For users of Flight Deck 3. You would notice as you make your final on the carrier deck. The smoke effect from your engines seperates from your aircraft as you descend and make your landing!
Its only in your mind, strong mind, strong soul and nobody can take that from you!
