Bimmer Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm not sure if it's even possible, but I would love to see the modern muzzle flash shapes replaced by more period-correct ones. For those unaware, the issue is that the current muzzle flash simulates a weapon equipped with a flash suppressor or muzzle brake; the exhaust gases are directed through ports perpendicular to the axis of fire, resulting in a star-shaped flash with a small forward flash. Most WW2-era weapons did not have such devices. Rifles and sub-machine guns were generally devoid of any muzzle devices, and only some machine guns and a few carbines had relatively simple unported flash suppressors. The flash of weapons without brakes or suppressors is more a cloud of flame, the size of which is dependent upon the amount of unburnt powder at the point when the projectile exits the barrel. I'd really like to see the muzzle flashes updated (or rather backdated) to the style appropriate for the period, if it can even be done as a mod (versus hard-coded). If anyone's willing to tackle it, I'd be very appreciative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodkin Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Have you tried Vein's muzzle flash mod? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmer Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Huh...I guess I missed that when I looked through the repository. Downloading now, but from the screenshot it looks like exactly what I was hoping for. Once again, I am behind the curve. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
