Me 163 needs a smoke trail when the candle is lit, a la RATOs on Ar234's, as they (the RATO units) used the same rocket motor... would be neat to have the long smoke trail from the 163 as it zips around the sky......

the coding is already in the game......
Not a huge deal, just a little detail....

It wasn't the same rocket engine.
The RATO units used a Walter HWK 109-500, which used a "cold" Walter drive, there was no real combustion, only a chemical reaction by mixing T-Stoff and Z-Stoff.
The Walter HWK 109-509 however was a true "hot" rocket, producing thrust by a combustion of T-Stoff and C-Stoff.

+1 for this wish. Add contrails at high altitudes while we're at it.

Thanks for the clarification, the only knowledge I had on the subject was a single source that had described the RATO units as using the same rocket engine as the Komet.... obviously that was incorrect.
The fact is, tho, the RATO exhaust trail we have in-game could be easily added to the Me-163... and it would be kinda cool, especially when turnfighting with the 163...... :cool:

Komet trail +1
High alt contrails +2

This would be an awesome little detail to add.

It is not piss that is coming out of the 163, just to let you know.

Contrails, now you can see the B-29 coming, who needs radar now.

Sure them what happens when you have 10 163 flying around.

Pretty much nothing unless you're on a really cheap machine. Take a formation of Ar234s up, hit to ratos, and see how much of a hit that is to your computer.

I guess I stand corrected. While I frequently post things of questionable taste, I was genuinely surprised to run afoul of the rules in this thread. Remind me to never, ever post about things from which other things issue or the very non-funny issue of STDs.
I don't make the rules, I just have to try to learn to interpret them as those who make them do.
Now, the Ho'ing thread was where I thought I'd get in trouble... Go figure.
Anyway, thank god for forum posting rules. It'd be a lot less fun around here without 'em.

+1 to this!

this is an easy one, HiTech, you know you want to ! :aok

Komet trails
Contrails
Jet engine wisps at full throttle
Spurts of WEP smoke for those engines that produced em

And HTC could code an extra low quality rendering mode for it. Probably plenty of previous takes on the problem, e.g. the old Warbirds-style dead-simple sprites.

There must be a mistake, are you sure you read the post right?
