Updated smoke rounds?

[USRanger]

I was just fooling around with a TigerII offline & shot some smoke rounds off.  The smoke looks different to me now.  Looking closely, the smoke looks as if it's rolling instead of just repeating the same image over & over.  Can someone confirm this, or have I been awake too many hours?  To me it looks improved.

Tested with the Panzer IV and the King Tiger, exactly the same. Don't use smoke rounds normally so they might have changed it for all of them.

I kinda thought the smoke looked a little different as well.

If it looks like this then no;

If you look close it has a rolling effect now instead of the puff puff puff it had before. Can't be positive but I really think I'm right on it. Oh well, just guessing & thought it was cool.

USRanger,

I believe that you might be correct.  Methinks, someone was having a good day and made more updates than they advertised.  Take a look at the M16 gunner position.  Am I wrong, some changes to the M16 also and no mention on the Information page link.

After taking a look at the readme file, they are both listed there.

Version 2.25 Patch 0 Changes
======================

Added new functionality to the text buffer.  You can now resize the window to any custom size, alter the font size, add tabs, drag tabs to form additional windows and vice versa, scroll back through text, and filter radio traffic to different tabs or windows.  Right click at the top of the chat window for an options menu.

Added custom player configured arenas.  This is a replacement to the old 8 player H2H feature.  The difference is that it is now hosted on our servers, is no longer free beyond the 2 week trial, and has the player limit increased to 16.  Custom arenas can also be password protected.  To access the custom arenas, click on the custom tab at the top of the arena selection menu.  Players can only have 1 arena created at a time and arenas will shut down 5 minutes after the last person leaves.

Updated the P-40B and P-40E shapes.  Thanks to cactuskooler for providing the skins.

Added the Tiger II.  Thanks to Greebo for the skin.

Updated the Tiger 1 shape.  Thanks again to Greebo for the skin.

Updated the shapes of the LVTA2, LVTA4, and M-16.

Added tab functionality to the user interface.  This is now used in the hangar where you can cull the plane list by plane type using the tabs instead of the right click menu.

Added a Diff tab to the Arena Settings menu that shows you what arena settings are different from the default setting.

There is now an MOTD folder in your Aces High folder to store text files to be uploaded as MOTD's (message of the day, arena login message).  If you want to upload a file as a MOTD, either through a custom arena or a squad motd, put the text file in this folder to access it through the user interface.

Added the ability to label default skins.  Default skins will always appear with an asterisk next to them.

Increased the maximum number of skins per plane from 16 to 32.

Revised the drag and lift and propeller characteristics on the Dr 1 flight model.  End result is slightly lower lift and a lower top speed.

Increased turret roof armor of the Tiger I to 40mm as found on later production versions.

Added a slipper tank loadout to the Spit V.

Changed the drop tank on the P-40E.

Decreased the max diving speed structural limits on the A6M2.

Slightly decreased armor penetration from extremely oblique shots more than 70 degrees from vertical.

Added smoke grenades to the Panther and Tiger 1.  < added but did not discuss change in graphics itself.

Fixed a potential armor issue in the top of the Panther's treadwell.

Material type tag was not being set correctly on the T34/76.  This was causing the paint not to look matte.

Calibrated C-47's copilot airspeed indicator.

Fixed tape compass issues on several planes.

Fixed a sorting issue on the armor glass of the P-38G.

Fixed a landing gear shadow issue on the Yaks.

Fixed an issue with the flap and copilots altitude indicators on the B-29.
