Sure I will see if Pol will add them to the webpage.

Everybody, we are going to hold off posting these tracer mods to the webpage for now because these are really old mods and they haven't been converted to WOFF3. They modify the effects.xml file and the new goodies in WOFF3 use that file extensively and these mods could cause problems. If you are ok with taking that chance you can still PM me and I'll send them to you.

I will pass on them for now then. If they ever get updated to be WOFF 3 compatible I will happily give them a go though. Thanks!

I know one in OFF there was one mod were you could change tracer parrameters, like color. Think it was made by Andy, maybe he could change the exe from OFF3 to Woff.

Yep that was Andy73 and can be found at combatace.

Andy why not change this EXE to Woff3 .

Nope was wrong, but I know somebody did made a tool for OFF3, where you could select the color and texture in a pulldown menu.

???!!!?? You can issue the mod while OBD can not?! Sorry, I do not understand. This MOD is working unofficially for many users, but officially does not? Is it just intention of OBD to suppress this mod? Is it difficult to convert it to WOFF3? I doubt. Sorry, guys, but standpoint of OBD to WOFF modding is rather strange to me (I am not talking only about this mod, I have in mind, for example, why OBD cancelled the possibility of OldHat's mission editing in WOFF3? Can they explain it?). I can feel the OBD is too jealous and vain about its baby (WOFF) that they disallow any auspicious 3rd party improvement and feature addons. They just cry because of limited resources, small team capability, but refuse any offer to help.
I tried to keep my tongue back for too long, but that was enough to bear.
Now you can kick me as you want. I am retiring.

Well JJJ65 you are totally wrong, WOFF3 has cockpit damage, I spent 4 months of my life putting it in to 80 aircraft so I know. But with an old effects.xml - no cockpit damage will show, and other issues we fixed or altered to work with new shaders by AnKor won't work properly either. So no it's not compatible with WOFF3.

If someone wants to make it so, great I'll put it on the web, but right now they need disclaimers (and many people don't read). I don't have time to work on mods. Maybe you or a modder makes it compatible with WOFF1, 2 and 3, then I'll post it - I am the one answering support questions on mods, and I don't want to do it. As per some posts on here on the forum that started as a "WOFF doesn't work" then ended up with "oh I had a part of a mod installed oops" after I spent several posts in my evening answering just to find out actually it's nothing to do with us but a mode that broke it. Now imagine how many people are NOT in a forum or never post who will instead contact support (usually me).

It sounds as challenge . Can you, Banjoman, send me the old mod? I will look on it and see what is so difficult to alter three (3) effects.xml files in WOFF.

Pm sent

Looking forward to this being made an 'official' WoFF 3 mod

Thx, BJM. This mod seems as easy one to modify for WOFF2 and 3. I will post my modded mods for DL here soon.

All these tracer mods can also be found in the download section of Combataceforum. Just replace some .dds files, no rocket science.
No the best tracer mod would be a tool where you can change color and adjust smoothness.

Yep, to change color of tracers you can easily use Andy73's Tracer Colors mod without any problem with any versions of WOFF.
Just to use creaghorn's smoke trail mods then there is neccessary to modify effects.xml file for all versions of WOFF. I am working on that now.

Ver for WOFF3 will follow ASAP.

I think Andy is calling this effect smoothness

And here is modified Creaghorn's realistic effects and tracers updated for WOFF3:

Thanks mate.

Thanks JJJ, been using Andy's, will give this a shot.

JJJ, thanks for doing the upgrades for me.

Can anyone post some screenshots of what they look like in the sim? Is there a JSGME friendly version of this mod, by chance?
