Thanks. "Unbelieveable!" I am looking forward to these effects! Especially for me in the "Midway Missions." To look over my shoulder as you head for home, to see the Japanese carriers burning in the background.

looking realistic.

So now, does this means that once a 'flat top' is hit and burning, the fire doesn't stop after 30 seconds?

The fire lasts a few minutes but keeps smoking after it goes out. I haven't really timed it.

That's perfect, it will be much more realistic like this.

Looking good, here is a silly question, can that effect be used on any ship?

I tried the effects on other ships and yes they work for them also.

The fire lasts between 1 and 2 minutes and the smoke for aout 4 or 5 minutes,best I could do.

That is great, thanks for taking the time to check out my question. Those effects should enhance the game quite a bit.

I also checked to see if they work in PTO,MAW and ETO. When add the lines I will provide to the effects file they will work also.

I've found that if your flight comes in from either the side or the bow of the ship and you have your flight attack they set off the effects better. If you come in from the stern and have your flight attack the effects don't always get triggered. I don't know why this is because the planes always attack from the stern,maybe it's just a different angle of attack.

I have one other thing I want to try before I release this package. I just thought of it today and it might make it better.

After my last experiment this is what came up. You can see 2 fires burning on the carrier now. This happened after a spawned SBD attacked.
