AAA Effects
version 1.0
www.allaircraftarcade.com


This mod was made for and using Il2-1946 v4.08m files (but most probably will work with any other versions too).

There are six variations of the AAA effects. All IL2-1946 AAA effects are actually based on USSR 25mm AA gun and USSR 85mm AA gun (actually, even the USSR 25mm AA gun is based on the USSR 85 mm AA one, with a small variation).

I've modified the AAA smoke clouds to:
- last 1000 longer (25mm from 5 to 5000 and 85mm from 10 to 10000)
- be 2 times bigger (25 mm from 9-18 to 18-36 and 85mm from 18-36 to 36-72)
- changed the color for the 85mm AA gun smoke cloud from a dark lila to black
- there are also variations with x times slower particle emitter speed (less spread of the effect's particles, in this case the smoke clouds "parts")
- there are also variations with 2 times more particles emitted per effect (for 25mm from 4 to 8 and for the 85mm from 8 to 16)

Personally, I think Effects_1000longer_2bigger_2slower_2more or Effects_1000longer_2bigger_3slower_2more are the best visually effect. There will be a pool on allaircraftarcade's site regarding this, please add your feedback in there for consideration in future versions of this mod.


Install

You'll need to have the primary Eng Sound Mod mod already installed (http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=758).
Unpack the desired version directly into your IL2-1946 game's install folder, and add the content of insert.txt to your filelist.txt file (manually, or using the insert.bat batch command), then start the game.
To test the mod, you can use the singleplayer Germany Ju87 Marat attack mission, or any other mission you would like.


Uninstall

Just delete the files, and the added entries (the ones from insert.txt) from your filelist.txt file.

fly_zo for the Fire and Smoke Viewable Distance Modifier files (this AA effects only use the WhiteSmoke.mat, I've could modify it myself, but I'm too lasy for this)
