Flyboy in eech are also two types of explosions chaingun, but works on another principle.
MI 28 /24 has a normal ammunition, and explosive, and depending on that which we use, is a different effect.
Achieving this effect how you show,is impossible without changing the game code.
But Olds doing a great job, I can not wait when he starts to change the missile explosions

You can do that with the chain gun effect in EECH, and I plan on giving it a try. The problem is that many weapons share the same effect--and that part looks currently hard-coded. We might fix the chain gun but break a bunch of other weapons, and BANITA is right--a fix involves code.

I haven't finished mapping out what graphical effect goes with what game event, I'll be able to say more once that's done.

P.S. FireBird's approach is 100% right on: expose a much as possible to user-editable data files. It slows down load times but speeds up improvements exponentially!

BANITA - Yes, I have played EECH believe it or not and I remember the different effects for the different ammo types on the Russian helicopters! The AP ammo impacts just created like a mini cloud of dust and the HE ammo impacts created a mini firey explosion.

Flyboy-curiosity-why you only play in the longbow?

What, do you mean Longbow 2 or the AH-64D in EECH?

Longbow 2 of course

Well, I don't even play that now as it has become more and more annoying for me due to issues on modern PCs. I have had my fair share of problems and have just about finally hung up my LB2 helmet.

But before, the reason that I only played that was because it was the Longbow sim that felt most natural to me, and I haven't become the 'expert' on the sim that many people rely on by simply playing it once in a while alongside all the other Longbow sims out there. Plus, out-of-the-box it's still the most authentic Longbow sim there is.

Gaming aside, what with the other games I play and all my other online and offline tasks I do on a computer, not even taking into account real-life, or any health issues I may have, time has just become too short to get too much into any other sims - even in a genre as small as combat helicopter sims where you can fly an AH-64D. So forgive me if I only ever stuck to one sim for any length of time or purpose.

OK, I've started collecting the reference videos on this "SuperEECH" Youtube Channel.

I'll be posting the sprite effects work there too as it progresses and I figure out how to use the YouTubes. I know I haven't showed much--it's coming along well, but there's been a lot more groundwork to be done to understand the sprite system. You gotta figure it out before you can understand how to push it to its limits...

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it,
-Olds

Olds Here you have very similar effects to your beta version,what you showed me.Check 0:46 very nice pieces of land.
