Thanks to

Microsoft for the stockers, easy on framerates & good in groups, damage logic & breaking parts too. The B24 guy for making them unmirrored (& so much more).

A6M5C exhaust effect

I upload today an exhaust effect for this bird. This effect is based on a former one made by KH for the stock A6M5 Zero

Great

Very nice skins UT. Is there a USS Ranger for CFS2?

 

[Jagdflieger]

Worthless,

Yes, there is a nice USS Ranger for our favorite sim from the Virtual Navy.

Look for: vn_uss_ranger

If not here in the library, look at the major sites and it should be there.

Here is a good link for photos of the Ranger throughout her career:

Here she is post Op Torch, but the package comes with pre-war, mid-war and late-war liveries.

 

[Worthless]

Thanks!

Right you are Jagd. Found it right here at SOH. Another one that I missed. First it was the Wolverine and now Ranger. I thought I had them all. Obviously.....not!

Thats prob for the best. I want to see if I can find way way to make an exhast effect that dosn't use the VC light.

I need to look into the exhast smoke effect that dosn't show when the aircraft is on the ground but starts when you are moving that is done by DP exta.

Hi Allen, I wish you find the way to make exhaust light effects that don't use VC light, and start when the plane get moving. I you succeed in, that will be a real new advance in effects making (it may be also used for water landing effect, and will enable both exhaust ligth effects and water landing effect, which can't be realised with VC light and greengost Dap gauge...)
