Hi Guys, I have been playing a lot on your server recently and I've been really enjoying the experience, the work that team fusion is doing is truly amazing. However I have a question, sometime ago on the banana forum, a question was asked about whether Luthier had taken fire and flames and thick black smoke out of the game in order to try and speed it up, most people said that it wasn't the case and that fire and flames and smoke were still there. To date I have not seen any planes on the Atag server go down in flames, neither have I seen any aircraft belching black smoke or any aircraft on fire, is this something to do with my settings or does it just not happen?? Those that say it is still in the game can you please post recent screenshots. Many thanks, and once again thank you for your tremendous work.

I can`t provide a screenshot, but once in a while my 109 goes down in flames...;-) so fire and smoke is still there, also on atag...

35 seconds into this video, shot on ATAG after the TF patch:

Thank you for that, I do see the black smoke at 35 sec's, but you must agree that it is a very rare occurrence, so rare that i have never seen it, so what about the fire and flames, anyone seen an aircraft on fire, or has anyone seen an aircraft blow up in the air on the Atag server? Screenshots please if you can, then i will know it's something to do with either my settings or my vid driver.

Hi

again without screenshot, but what i experience is that aircrafts won`t "blow up" meaning that they fall into pieces in a second. What you can see is that they are catching fire within seconds (shoot at wellingtons for example...). Especially if you hit the fuel tank of the 109, you got fire all over within an instant. see here (@ 0:50):

This are also examples:

It is rare, but possible. Using flaming-Ammo does help (Phosphor, etc...)

You'll notice that the black smoke disappears at distance, in video, as I fly away from the target.
This is partly why you hardly ever see it, it seems like it only renders at close range.

But I agree with you anyway.. it doesn't seem to be seen very often. Not often enough for my liking anyways.

I'd like to add that when flying the Emil I can pretty consistently set a hurricane on fire when I get a good shot on the wing/wing-root area, I do believe the fuel is stored there. So nothing wrong with the DM I think.

Hi mate. I made this video the night before the patch went live.

Check out the footage from 2m 20s onwards. In the TF patch no smoke/fire/particle effects were altered, that's for a future update (currently very WIP!), but here's the video so you can check out online smoke and flames ;)

I did a video a short bit back that focused on a kill that ended in a huge fireball with thick black flames, engine seizure and the pilot bailing all in slow motion at 1/4 time. The link is below. In slow motion you can really see the details in the flame and smoke in this game.

Thank you guys, I saw my first black smoke online last night, it's does help if you have got some incendiary rounds in your ammo belt..... DoH!!
