Has anyone heard of...

Fs9 doesn't support advanced shaders so you wouldn't be abled to get heatwaves from the runway. In the FsX it may be possible. I do not know.

1. Heat blur from jet engines - possible.

2. Heat blur from runways - not possible.


You don't even have sloped runways in FSX, so why the f+ck would you need heat blur?

I think its possible, heat haze is a blur, we always hear complaints of blur (We in the UK had a Tony Blur  ;) thankfully a distant blur-yes I know his name).  Its just a different kind and more refined blur, lets just say I do not believe it would be impossible to achieve.  It would probably form part of a runway/taxiway bump map to keep it low down and not be part of the air we see around us.  This way it would make it look like it was emanating from the tarmac or other surface.  It would be called when the weather was a particular type maybe, much like we see different clouds in different weather formations.  Maybe some feedback to the XGraphics people could produce this feature as a future update.  That would be one way to implement it for those who wish it, as part of their templates, then others who don`t want it and/or run a lower powered system get to continue as they are.

Nothing in this life is impossible, you just haven`t found a way around it yet......

LOL!

I believe it is possible but impossible, and completely useless.  I'm just thinking of in FS9 at FlyTampa's TNCM the sand on the beach blows up with jet blast.  It's an effect that runs in a predefined location in response to an aircraft.  Why couldn't you have something like that over the whole runway?  I'm sure you can.  HOWEVER, could you create a heat blur effect?  No, FS does not support that type of effect (blurring/moving textures like heat blur does).

So, you're all right.  It's possible but it's not.

I'm not to fluent in all the technical aspects of graphics, but do you think that the DX10 patch could make this a possibility?
