Burning Carriers

The one thing that always bothered me was the Carriers would burn. You'r get fire and smoke from the bomb blast and after that nothing. I decided to see if anything could be done to get smoke and fire. Here's what I've got so far but it still needs some work. Maybe Steve could help me out with it.He's more the effects man then me.

I'd say that's a vast improvement! Well done!
 
Looks great to me Al. You say it still needs some work but in what areas?

Steve did some great effects for the ETO and especially I'd asked him for some smoke for Dunkirk.
Look in the vehicles ETO folders for 'Fire_Smoke_Large' etc. and see what effects he put in.
 
OFF

Let's be careful as OFF is payware and using their stuff elsewhere may be frowned upon!

Teds right guys, we need to be careful, but in this case the Zeppelin was not actually part of OFF, it was released seperately for OFF phase 2 (like the Gotha bomber) which was still freeware. (if I remember correctly Greg Law built it, he built the Gotha as well.)

Al, great looking fires, big improvement.

regards Rob.

Yeh, but wasn't the first version of OFF freeware?

Hi Mid,

Thats what I was trying to say in the post above yours. Phase 1 and 2 were freeware. But the Zeppelin didnt come from OFF its was released as a separate model by Greg, so no issues.

regards Rob.
 
yes capt winters is correct ph1 and 2 were freeware why i put so much effort in addons such as addign italy and austria/hungry, but once it went payware wasnt able to....
