What cool little eye candy would you like to be added? I was thinking about this while driving to work. IMHO I would like to see rain drops added, and the sound of them hitting your plane. Or I would also like to see the canopys in fighters open up. Just a different post and would like to hear your wants/needs

for AH

Peace

HTC kinda releases new version in themes. It was much more pronounced in the past, but they still tend to do it. One version is heavy on AC, the next version has a bunch of strat added, another introduces the fleets, and another was almost pure eye candy - with explosions, smoke, clouds, sound etc.

Call me shallow, but one of my favorite versions of the lot was the one where they brought in all of the eye candy.

Sure... rain, moving canopys - I can get behind that.

Eye candy hu, ok Squaddie, now ya got me thinking

What i would like is.....

1. Wetaher effects, just like you said rain but the whole nine yards, im talking seasons here. Snow, Ice, Lightning, Rain. And for these to affect your aircraft, Iceing up at high alts etc

I would like to see serchlights at night over each airfield

Bullet Decals over your plain for each area you got shot, better still isible airframe under a damaged sections onf the plane as in IL2.

Yup the canopy sounds cool instead of just apearing outside the aircrfat have the canopy open and the guy actually raise up out of his seat and jump, all visible to other people too. Would be great to see the canopy open and a guy bail out of a 110 you just taken out

i would like to be able to paint messages on top of the hangers..
moving canopy would be nice linked to the real ammount of time it took to bail out. eg the difference between P51s.
what about oil on the wind sheid after hitting oil or fuel tank on enemy in front..
I like the idea a lot about eye candy but i think it should be made optional for gamers with lower spec comps..

What I'd really like to see is broken glass in the cockpit, i.e windows shattering when their hit. I would have loved to see skinnable planes, however HiTech says this is not a runner. I can see why. But would be a nice idea. If we can't have custom skins, then what about a choice of predefined skins, e.g, USAF, RAF etc for each plane which was flown by that airforce.

Blood splattered cockpits when pilot is hurt.

Pilots engulfed in flames attempting to ditch from a burning aircraft and hurltling to the ground unable to open chutes.

Gunners falling from shot up rear gun positions.

I see a theme developing here!

I'd like to see some sort of visual difference between like aircraft flying for different countries. It just seems wrong that airplanes flying against each other always look identical.

This could range from drastic differences (like totally different paint jobs for each country), on down to something subtle like having each country have their planes' rudders painted a different color.

Like the blue paint on the nose of the P-51 or P-47.....wouldn't it be nice if say it was blue for one country, red for another and green for the third?

What about some birdsinging,,when you bail somewhere in the terrain,,,hide your chute ,sit down,,,and have a smoke;) .
Maybe also the sheeps can BAHHahaha around you:) .

just a suggest.

When EVERYTHING else is done, I'd like to see vibration and smoke when the engine starts.

More detailed Pilot Wounded such as blood (nothing excessive, several different amounts splattered on gauges based on severity of wound), plurred/dizzy viewed when wounded (not all the time just based on severity).

Bombs that actually make hole in the ground and blast debry AND dirt way up in the air. Imagine a fleet bombarding a beach ala DDay, BIG explosions!

Bullet holes on plane when you are hit WHERE you are hit, even if they are fake holes.

Breaking/cracking glass

Bahhh I know I had many more ideas than this, guess this 1.5 hours of sleep is getting to me.

Novell SUCKS!

new hit sprites

Get rid of hit the large hit sprites, but use 'em for 20mm. Make 'em bigger for larger calibre weapons. Make 'em much smaller for smaller calibre weapons.. nearly non-existant for .303 size.

And add random particles falling off of aircraft when you hit it.

I'd like to see the exhaust from ignition, maybe a little flame coming out of the exhaust stacks.

I'd like to see gunsmoke on your FE only for your plane only. Nothing that has to be sent over the network. I'm not talking about the tracer smoke, but like the stuff in 1942:PAW.

Bridges, I thought they were to be done for 1.09? Defended by 1 or 2 acks preferably.

Add explosions at the wing roots when you shoot off the wingtip or the entire wing.. I mean like really small ones, like what you see in the gun cam footage. This would only make sense for planes that have ammo in the wings or wing fuel tanks. Just a quick boom and some smoke.

More smoke and fire to planes, if the entire rear fuse is shot off.. sometimes there could/should be smoke/fire.

I'll think of more later.

Mine isn't eye candy..it is modeling the turbulance, vortices.. that each aircraft produces...ie, you get up behind a buff with a Hurri, you should be tossed around alittle.

Another thing I would like to see is Contrails, this has been asked for since beta by numerous posters.

More weather, in any form, particularly lightning! (I like to spell it 'Lightening' just to piss Vulcan off!

) However, CFS2 modeled lightning and it caused great pauses on my wimpy coal burning PIII-800EB.

Lotsa great ideas here. I'd like to see bomb splashes from near misses on ships, dust trails when planes roll from unimproved runways (small fields), engine clatter and cutouts when damaged, with accompanying loss of power, and tremendous explosions when fuel and ammo dumps are hit.

Taiaha · « **Reply #14 on:** March 26, 2002, 12:42:01 PM »

What a lot of great ideas. Love the blood spatter idea in particular, but that's just me.

Just to vary the tone a little, what about ear candy? There are pretty good add-ons for sounds, but I'd like to see some better defaults. Take that marvellous juddering brake sound from IL-2, for instance. Add the excellent combined gun effect from Flying Fortress 2 (the sound of the ammo belts rattling through and the shells ejecting was very well done), a much wider variety of hit sounds ranging from plinks to whole panels being shredded. You get the drift.
