Contrail....you want this?
« on: August 02, 2000, 02:43:00 AM »
Hi...you saw this picture? it's Maddox Il-2 Sturmovik. this pic is very cool.    

Yes, Realistic!    

     

so I want Contrail effect in Aces High.

Imagine...You received the report that B-17s are approaching your airfield.

Airraid siren is ringing!

Scramble with Bf-109 as soon as possible!!

Look up at the sky...You will be able to see the contrail of B-17s!    

Do you like it?

Cool! But, I'm worry a bit about frame rate.

Those pics are incredible. Very good work from Maddox's team, indeed. Different types of AI controlled Bf109's (E and F) flying togheter and with different markings. Very good.

Yes, I'd like to see contrails. If they hit the frame rate then ... take out clouds or ... buy a new 'puter

You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

 Nice. I would love it to be honest.  But I already know where they are via the dot in the sky or the honking icon

We already have contrails of sorts in AH.  When a B-17 has a couple of leaky fuel tanks it looks just like contrails.  Maybe HTC could turn on this effect whenever a plane goes above 20K or so.

Those are nice contrails.  It'd take some experimenting on our end before we'd want to turn them on.
