Team Fusion Update - October 1st 2016 - Just a little teaser to keep you going :)

[Mysticpuma]

We are currently working on some behind the scenes 'stuff' and as such have to apologise for the lack of updates. As and when we can we'll just post a little bit of something to keep you sane and know that we are continuing the drive to complete v5.00 at the best pace we can.
Here is a short video showing some effects work (fire and explosions) that you can expect to see in the next patch. Please note this is specifically fuel explosions.
Cheers, MP/TF

[DerDa]

I really hope those 110 guys will linger around for a long time, their eyes fixed on the beautiful explosions they caused ...

[Continu0]

I see the all the bushes vanishing smoothly in the distance.... has the drawing distanc been changed....? :stunned:

[Blitzen]

Too Kool for School!:thumbsup:

[No.610_Johnny]

Nice Work:salute::salute::thumbsup:

[IIJG27Rich]

I can't get over how great this looks :thumbsup:

Rien d'exceptionnel sur les explosions par rapport à la version 4.312.

Nothing exceptional about the explosions from the 4.312 release.

[ATAG_Pattle]

Outstanding effort guys.

Thanks for your continued commitment to making this sim better than what I reckon it ever would have been intended, longevity wise and every other facet.

Pattle :salute:

those explosions seem a bit exaggerated.. :coffeeyes:

[DerDa]

Its fuel trucks. Haven't seen one going up myself, so I can't really judge.
But I saw many times what remains of a truck loaded with petrol after it caught fire on the road between Turkey and Iraq in the late 90s (One unbroken line of rolling bombs breaking the embargo and somehow nobody ever noticed ...).
If I remember that black, charred and twisted lumps of metal and the diameter of scorched earth around I don't think the fireworks are too strong.

On youtube you can find enough explosions as reference material

oil tank explosion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ1PpM4DAGQ
grenade hits fuel tank: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K-Jw9bhn18
russian gas tank explosion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6ZXOLbFD6M

But normally a fuel fire with a full tank just gets more intense as more fuel begins to leak out. More dangerous are half filled tanks where is a mixture of air and fuel vapor, those are the ones that can explode through the ignited and expanding air.

[ATAG_Ribbs]

I think what's being overlooked is the secondary and even a third explosion in the background . Just AWESOME and amazing stuff! I don't know if that stuff is currently in the game. But it seems more pronounced now. S! TF! One thing I would like to see more of is airplane debris scattering when an aircraft hits the ground at an angle. Is that even possible?

Ribbs

[Mysticpuma]

I am sure one of our guys has worked on that but as yet it is still in his work in progress tray. Cheers, MP

[ATAG_Ribbs]

Thanks for the reply MP! Would be great to see. :D

[HurricaneHarvest]

Fantastic .. no hiding in the desert .. or should that be "No hiddin in the Dessert!" ?? ...:-P

[IIJG27Rich]

That's one thing among the many things I love about the Desert theater. Everyone is much easier to see :pcguy:

OH. MY. GOD.

those explosions are massive D:

well i take it all back then :laugh:
thanks for enlighten me :salute:

[IIJG27Rich]

I was just wondering if we had a name yet for the expansion I guess would be the correct name. North Africa ones are kind of hard aren't they. As far as menu or startup page art in my opinion there's no problem there at all

The second one is actually airfix box art. I think a team could make some great looking stuff. :)

[QUOTE=Mysticpuma; and...... have to apologise for the lack of updates.

Apologise! Dear boy, you are too polite! There's 'no lack of updates' as far as I'm concerned! Only a bunch of selfless, committed guys giving their all to give the sim community a HUGE, MASSIVE TREAT! Take all the time you need and don't put yourselves under more pressure to throw us snip bits to keep us happy. We're all 'growed up' and can cope with the growing excitement and....... AN......TISS..I....PATION! :D

Rock on, TF!

P.s If you want explosions keep an eye on Shoreham. Highseas is going to let 'a big one' go any day now! LOL!
