Fellas...
My "new" hard drive crapped out (defective), so I took it back and am operating on my old recently-nuked hard drive. Give me a few days and Ill get you some new smoke effects. Right now, its looking very good, and compared to the old effect, is much less pronounced but still there. I think I got the alpha transparency down pat. Now, Im just fighting the color mixture to make it a darker brownish grey, just like the pictures. Once I get that done, Ill get the effects out for everyone to test.
Then Ill work on the Hi-G/AoA effect to narrow it down more, so it doesnt look like its "poofing" out, but more following the airstream along the LEX and up over the wing root. Anybody have any inputs about the current Hi-G/AoA effect? Too much alpha transparency? Close to the front end of the LEX? Is it positioned right? Would like some critical inputs from people that have used it, so we can improve it for everyone.
Later
