Burning Carriers

[Talon]

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.

You might try using the effects from the Hindenburg, that thing goes up in flames!

wow!, where did the Hindenburg come from?

[Human Drone]

As I recall, it came from Germany! :a1310:

Naw just kidding... it looks kind of involved, see this thread http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?13582-Hindenburg

Unless someone has something better...

Best,

Tom

I'd say that's a vast improvement! Well done!

[Talon]

Still working on it.

[Pat Pattle]

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.

[NachtPiloten]

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

[Capt. Winters]

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.

[middle]

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

[Capt. Winters]

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.

[stumpjumper1]

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....

[Talon]

Seems to be more interest in OFF and a big Balloon that explodes at Lakehurst NJ.:icon_lol:

[stumpjumper1]

al id like to see the effects xml for these see how they lok on my escort carriers

[Thudman]

The second picture reminds me of ones I've seen of Shoho under attack at Coral Sea.
