MLRS smoke trail bug (may apply to other weapons as well: rockets, etc.)

Reproduce: watch outgoing MLRS fire, observe the smoke trail as it follows the round.
Result: the entire smoke trail pivots to follow the outgoing round, which looks very bizzare, resulting in a straight smoke trails that gradually pivot instead of a curved smoke trails. The smoke appears to be parented to the round and the entire trail pivots to follow the artillery round's trajectory.
Expected: the smoke puffs to stay in position once emitted (the old artillery/weapon smoke trails did this correctly). You should see smooth parabolic trails of smoke rather than straight-but-pivoting ones.

Opps, so the bug not appear in all seasons, I'm sorry, I'm thought that the mi-24v-cockpit.eeo file has been corrupted.

By the way, I've find a bug in the sound, after cycling for the new speech & effects output options speech fails, only an unwanted noise is played, and inclusive sometimes the games crash.

EDIT1: I solved the sound problem by editing the EECH.ini file and leaving empty the sound_device_speech= entry.

EDIT2: I'm sorry dfang, but your fix for the hind cockpit not works at all, when I change to external view and back to internal the bug reappears and stay here even I restart the game.

Ehm, I have to confirm that problem. I did not test it properly in previous attempt.

Olds, a known problem, the resulting too late I got a new code who allows you to change it.I know how they should look
smoke trails, but very hard to achieve this effect in game, still working on trails Animation frequency.

I know there are many variation of MLRS ammunition, but how long does the rocket engine burn anyway? I know its only for a few second, so maybe if it is possible to remove the trail after certain time?

Hey,

at first, realy great done. This is a very nice update, iam happy about this.

But iam a little bit confused.
I hoped that the smoke on fire, the fire, and the missle smoke will looks like the images in the "Smoke Dust an Fire" Thread.
but they dont.

i changed the wind effectivness like written some pages before, but no effect.
And the missile smoke looks like this spinning "plus" singns like before.

are thees nice effects not included yet or did i do something wrong?

I have the bug where the chopper is violently bobbing up and down on the pad, at mission launch and that either eventually damages the rotor, or I am able to get the rotor up to speed and the helo in the air. Seems more prevalent with the Comanche. Hoping that this is patched in a hotfix soon. Otherwise am enjoying the new edition. Thanks again for the efforts madeto keep this sim mjoving forward.

Baddl, this shouldn't be happening. You need a complete install from scratch. Then make sure you install all the 1.14.0 files, there are 4 of them. (If you've already done that, then I have no idea what's wrong, but something is!).

Hello all,

I've been working on a fix to stop your Comanche from going on the war path.. I tweaked the suspension.txt files on the helos that I noticed had a jumping,hoping,flopping,rolling in the weeds problem...Just download these updated files and overwrite the existing ones in your C:\Razorworks\common\data\dyn folder.You can get em : HERE ,,Go to miscellaneous/dyn.rar ,,good luck..

Also I found a fix for opaque center cockpit glass in the Hind..Not sure why this is but it works,,when Firebird gets back he can research the problem...Go to your C:\Razorworks\cohokum\graphics\textures\cockpit\mi-24v-cockpit folder,,find the HINDCKPT_FRONT_WINDOW_REFLECTION.bmp and remove it..Happy flying..:))

I did a complete new installation a few minutes ago on my own pc (the first run was at the pc of my girl)

i cant believe the difference... man this looks so unbelieveable great... everything is realy candy for my eyes

never was a hellfire and a burnung tank looking better.
Maybe the flames a littel bit big but thats ok...

very very big thanks at all
