Lets just say they deliver everything as projected in V1.05 (though a large task, I doubt it will be 'complete' as delivered, after all, these folks are 6 strong)...
What will be the first thing you will do?
Me, I will be either in a 8" gun on one of the Cruisers if it is near the shore, or I will be camped out in the new Hellcat.

Rip, did you read the ord loadout for those PT boats? You've got most of the AA of a forward field plus 4 torps.
TOO Much fun to go hunting in seems to me!

Yeah, I did, Ghosth, it was a toss up between the PT boats, Cruisers and the new Hellcat, I'm particularly found of the hellkitty since it was the plane that my old squadron VF-101 used to fly in Warbirds on squad night...man, we used to "rack 'em up"..--AC--,Iceman,-Gigg-,--CF--Swit,Eman, too many to list...

Go hunting Hellkitties and Avengers in an N1K2j or A6M5b. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
That or take a Hellkitty for a spin and then go hunt them.

Go for a swim in the warm Pacific. It'll prolly me mighty cold in these parts by then.

- Do not see any more this ridiculous smoke trail in the tracers, visible form kilometers and miles away, that make to look and airfield and a B17 like a party fire-works.
- No, the "no tracers" option isn't the solution, I want see tracers without smoke, no "smoke" or nothing. This one of the most unrealistic feature of the sim.

Ever seen WWII gun came footage? Gun smoke is left behind from burning phosphorous tracers. Adding a clipping feature to clip smoke at >200ft away from it would fix the smoke signals from miles away.

HI- What?
no capito.
Seen the films but also have fired tracers, a lot, and been fired to by, he, he,.
But this smoke....chist, chist,
There is a way to set the range of the visible smoke?
sorry if don't undestarnd your "underlines"
-
Clipping reduces the visual range of an object or just a graphic bitmap or something like smoke. If clip the terrain, you are effectively not rendering it at that range. Kind of like when you use the Shift-F1,F2,F3 to reduce terrain range.
But the programmer's need to modify to the code to do that.
