One touch I really like is the little puff of smooke that comes out of your engine when you first start it up

That's what I thought that was. I kept thinking I clipped their plane :aok

While the arenas were down last night I was shooting drones offline. The first time the "debris.wav" played, I thought I got hit by my own ack. Looked around for damage, saw nothing. After a couple more "clangs" I finally figured out it was the pieces coming off the drones coming back and hitting me. Confirmed this by looking into the sounds folder and sorting for date; the newest file was "debris.wav." Cool stuff HTC!

yeah the little things they added have done a lot to improve the game. I liked that if you are on the runway you get the normal smoke from the tires but when you go off it changes to dirt being kicked up.

I would like it if more if there were more smike at first..enough that you wouldnt be able to see out the FE at first. :)

My favorite...get buzzed by a low flying A/C when your in a gv and dust will come up around you.
-
the only thing that confuses me about this awesome update is that the flames vanish when a wing falls off....
other than that, its totaly first class.
i shot someone down real close yesterday and the debris from the explosion hit my plane.
-

Wondered what the hell that noise was.

Although I'm limited to h2h at the moment, I have to say 2.02 is a huge improvement in eye candy and immersion.

The only thing I dont really care for is the new look of the puffy ack.
While its effect seems a bit more 3dish which is a good thing
I personally dont care for the new shape.
Looks more like a bunch of black dots then puffs of flak fire.
Almost like someone was dabbing the sly with black magic marker
I think the shape of the old ack was better.
Just my opinion
-
The ack is awesome on my end, the nice red explosion and then a round shaped black smoke no dots here.
-
it took me awile to figure out the banging noise in the 109 was the leading edge slats opening and closing.

Check your detail level. I am seeing red explosions in the center of the black puff, looks awesome. And explody.

That sound effect has been part of the game for quite a while now. :)
I haven't flown enough yet to see all the things that are mentioned in this thread. The post about smoke trailing a low-flying aircraft really amazed me. And, I can't wait to see the debris.wav in action.
From what I've heard...I'm very impressed with this patch. wtg everyone at HTC! And, THANK YOU!!!

I see that too the red explosion and round shaped black smoke. My thing is they shouldnt be perfectly round.
Here is a good close up photo of bombers under actual Flak fire.
You will see what I mean
Flak at a far distance might look round but it sure doesnt closer
Hold on looking for a photo they might let me use
in the meantime look at the photo of "An airmans nightmare" bout halfway down the page for the example I wanted to use.

here is another photo but the one in the link is a much better example

It freaked me out bigtime the first time it happened, I about jumped outta my chair. The question I have is, does it do damage? I care because I love havin the NME pop about 50 feet in front of me.

The other night in H2H I shot an enemy plane too close, and the explosion/debris killed me, as well. Another time, debris took off part of my wing, or perhaps it was just someone behind me shooting at me, can't remember now. But I remember the debris effect.
-
It dosn't do damage.

The debris sound is pretty sweet. First time it happened I nearly jumped out of my skin. Thought I was getting cherry-picked for the hundredth time that night.

Did anyone notice this other little ditty? (maybe mentioned in thread somewhere's that I miss't)..
I had the tail shot off, and was going down, from 10k.. a long, slow, ride, backwards! ha!
So,, to kill some time, I squeezed the trigger, and ripped off a long burst, straight up.
What the heck? says I.. A stream of tinkling brass, spent casings are all fluttering up in the slip-stream!!! WOW!
You never see it in battle (under plane) Or at least I never did..
This sim is quickly moving from best MMOG to one of the better "Box Sims" as well! Nice work HT! Long ways from our days on the GEnie AW network, where planes were represented by little "T" figures in CGA 3 color 12" crts.. haahaa!

nice but from what I have read, the pilots were only able to see the red centers when the flak was right on them. They judged distance that way. You now see the red center on all bursts.
shells ejecting from planes and guns are pretty cool too as is the dust/smoke on take-off
the two engine spitV isn't bad either :)
-
I've never been one of those calling for more eye-candy but I have to admit this is really cool. The flames are my favorite, I watched an enemy go down from close-up and the fire/smoke effects were simply the best I've ever seen. Next on my graphical effect wish list would be cannon strikes that were noticeably different than AP/MG strikes. The smoke puffs are cool, but I'd like to see a little red/orange bang in there too.
Oh man, now I am asking for more eye candy, what has become of me?

Eagler, what are you talking about? Are there engine options? I haven't seen 'em, if there are? or is that a tongue-in-cheek reference to the P38:p
