I may stop by to check out the effects but won't stayOpen 24/7 come in, stay as long or as little as you like.

why don't you let me shoot you up and then you can see the effects first hand? :D
lol
It's just the last 2 times I went in there it was too much like DA Lake.
Hmmmm... picturing the Pearl set up with new smoke effect. Too bad the targets on battleship row sink so quickly and don't have an opportunity to throw smoke throughout the area.
Still wish the airfield on that map wasn't right in the middle, it seems to take up too much room. :aok
Sorry you don't like the terrain.
That terrain compresses 5 miles from RL into 1 mile in-game. This was done to include all the actual airfields there in 1941 (plus an extra or two). It makes for much better game-play in the AvA. Also of note, the height of all elevations were reduced by 1/2 to make it more realistic looking and simulate reasonable climb to altitude conditions.
Each historic airfield you find in avapearl is based upon the actual airfields that were there, including Ford Island and Hickam Field at Pearl Harbor. Due to the extreme shrinkage, many airfields are crowded or even moved a few miles from their proper location. Hickam and Ford Island wouldn't look like their 1941 counterparts done any other way, and Wheeler I believe it was, would look ridiculous squeezed into that narrow peninsula north east of Pearl.
Unfortunately, the ships in the harbor that are rafted up together all die at the same time due to splash damage. Nothing I can do about that, but it took more than one bomb to sink them. That to me is a good compromise.
Only the Arizona throws smoke because it's another compromise for people with low frame rates in a very busy part of the terrain. Perhaps you have a state-of-the-art rig like I do, but I try to imagine what the frame rates would be for everyone else if all those ships are throwing smoke and fire. :uhoh

... you read WAY to much into my comment. Actually LOVED Pearl, I haven't flown a torpedo bomber that much in years! ...
I went in
a very rare occurrence
It was great..the effects where worth a visit...wtg Ranger
My only one small point is the smoking engine of plane does not look that great...sorry ..just my opinion..
the others though are outstanding!!
love the flames
Yes on startup it is not as realistic as the standard. I think all the smoke is tied together somehow where it can't be different.
Yes, it's an unintended consequence.
Also gunsmoke uses the same bmp's. I played around with them and I did get them lighter and the gunsmoke was less strange looking, but I had some other consequences so will bow to the master, I'm sure he will tweak them to perfection
