Author Topic: We need some Smoke! (Read 685 times)

HTC, could you please add a smoke option, preferably 2 trails, one from each wingtip. It would sure help demonstrating manuevers such as hi yo-yo's, hammerheads, etc. Not to mention it would help when practicing these manuevers, you can see your flight path. Thanks in advance

PS. We could use this option to maybe get some aerobatic competitions going, like the ones I used to fly in DoA. They are a lot of fun!

Films your moves and watch the films with trails on, that gives you a short flight history

The "trails" button turns on a nice segmented trail which clearly illustrates the flight path and plane clearly. Does a better job than the cool smoke trails IMHO.

But yeah, airshow smoke looks neat. <G>

Hmm, didn't even realize we had this feature. However, I want smoke! Mainly for training purposes in the TA. Instant feedback is much better than having to exit and 'go to the film'.

Hmmm... getting "trails" turned on in the TA (at least on a per/FE basis) would solve this as well. Good point.

Definately on a "per/FE basis". We have this option in DoA. I have a button mapped to stick. Real nice, smoke off each wingtip, different colors for each side.
