Title: Particle system.
Post by: lasse on August 14, 2002, 01:14:04 AM

It seems like the implentation of the particle system has been a huge success, I have not seen one complaint about it :)

Personally I love it, a huge improvement.
As far as I can see, my framerate is not affected at all by the particles.

In another post I saw the question about making the flames of burning planes in the particle system, YES PLEASE, and lengthen the smoke trails too, I think it is a tad to short as it is today.

So what if Hitech made all explosions , flames and smoke in the particle system, I think it would be awesome, dont you ? :)

Is this possible without delaying 1.11 with to many months ? ;)

Love this game, and it just gets better with every new version :)

Obear...

All of the smoke trails have been changed to the particle system, from the older graphic which was a set of crossed lines that expanded.

Some people are now asking for

1. Longer smoke trails
2. New engine smoke effects
3. Wing vorticies
4. Fire effects

I would be willing to bet that these things are coming. HTC probably wanted to test the stability of the new smoke system before adding more to it.

Agree 100% I am shure this only was the start, and we will get a lot more particle effects in the upcoming releases.

At least I hope so ;)

Hmmm...he said....START...What a great Idea!!! How about some smoke when engines START! (I don't think I ever saw a radial START without some smoke.) :D

37mm Field Guns with proximity fused rounds.

That way, when ack starts firing at you it would be intense barage of small flak explosions.

Yeah, please keep those good suggestions coming, it can only turn into something good :D

Worst case: nothing new in the particle system in thte next release.

Best case: Hitech reads this, thinks this is a good idea, and then give us everything we want in 1.11 ;)

Still I notice, every one keeps on saying they want more of this and more of that in particles.

No one, not a single soul say nope dont do it because reason X or XX, so conclusion:

Particle system = Good
