IL2 1946 Ricochet Gunsmoke 0 50 Caliber Bullets 3D Smoketrail

[torque2802]

how do you install this mod for il2?

[Metalicalypse]

@torque2802 Go to SAS1946 dot com and read the tutorials :)

[torque2802]

@Metalicalypse read all of those tutorials when i was trying to get UP3 working, none of them helped spent 2 days trying to get that mod to work and every time it said a file was missing and nowhere in sas1946 does it talk about that file, redownloaded il2, 4 times saved a clean install and everytime the same problem so not gonna bother modding il2 as no 1 knows what the problem is and i cant be bothered anymore, game wasnt meant to be moded clearly

[Metalicalypse]

@torque2802 Hmm thats strange,my game is well doing, did you buy the game? if yes then you could download the one from the torrent. I bought the firls il2 sturmovik and all the expansions then I bought the full 1946 but after some installing my CD died, I re downloaded from the torrents. and its the same as the original. Try that it should work %100.

[torque2802]

@Metalicalypse bought the game off steam, and it works fine was able to patch to 4.10.1 but anything else it says a file for a russian paratrooper is missing, and all the guides go on about a mods folder in the il2 program files and i dont have that folder, dont know where to create it, and the youtube guides arent very helpful either so its the standard game for me. rfactor is a easy to understand modable game, il2 eh not so much

[Metalicalypse]

@torque2802 I always hate Steam'ed things. the problem maybe is from the steam setup. I recommend you to download via torrent. the original CD game that doesnt include steam. also its really easy to use mods. I was a noob too, But its very simple just download the Modact and it will let you to use mods. (Modactivator).

If you change your mind to play it again just PM me and I'll help you.

[fallenangei]

@torque2802 the Steam version of IL2 1946 is entirely compatible with mods. however, you need to patch it. you can find the patch on the Ultra Pack website, just google it, and look at the "how to install" article.

the MODS folder goes into the main IL2 directory (Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\i­l 2 sturmovik 1946\MODS)

[fallenangei]

@torque2802 after you patch it, it works like any other game with mods. if you install the Ultra Pack, it comes with its own mod manager called JGSME which lets you activate and deactivate mods easily if they're formatted to work with JGSME (which this mod is not, but you can just toss the version of this mod you would like to use in the MODS folder and it will work alongside any other mods you install, with or without JGSME)

JGSME is located in the main IL 2 directory after installing the UP

[torque2802]

@fallenangei where in the mods folder do i put the folder for this mod? do i have to make a seperate folder within the mods folder?

[fallenangei]

@torque2802 put the folder for the mod in the MODS folder, the exact directory line (including the version of the mod I used) is this:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\i­l 2 sturmovik 1946\MODS\00_HG&P_Ricochet_Gun­Smoke_Bullets_3D_Smoketrail

[torque2802]

@fallenangei does that then activate the mod or do i use a modactivator for that?

[fallenangei]

@torque2802 it's been a while but I'm pretty certain placing it in the MODS folder automatically activates it

[torque2802]

@fallenangei ok thx, will giv tht a go wen i get back home to my computer :)

[Metalicalypse]

This seems very great,Downloading now :D Can someone tell me the name of the song?

[torque2802]

@Metalicalypse how do you install this mod for il2?

[Latvietis96]

How did you get that camera views?!!!

[greenbeanieman]

What was the song?

[bigloloraf]

Help me please ! :(

[ChampionFx]

@bigloloraf this is working 100% with IL-2 1946 modded version 4.09m , I don't know if this is still working with latest 4.10 or 4.101 game versions installs , there is already an answer regarding things you'll need in some of the previous comments responses .

Cheers ;)

[bigloloraf]

@ChampionFx Ok thx

[bigloloraf]

I don't know how to install it! :(

[thander28210]

ok and everything but why is the bullet green ?

[clod2692]

@thander28210 because the URSS use green tracking bullets

[600badboys]

Is 1946 the newest one of the Il2 series

[Master7770]

@600badboys IL2 1946 is an all in one collection pack. In other words it is all of the IL2 games in one box. It is THE one to buy if you are looking to get this game.

[plavins1]

awesome can i ask where did you get these awesome ground textures? or whats the name of the ground texture mod?

[ChampionFx]

@plavins1

thx ,

this video was made back then with

canon's English_Channel map ;)

[bradyisace]

Hi, I recently purchased IL-2 on Steam and I'm having a hell of a time trying to get this mod to work, it's never usually this complicated. Could any of you be so kind as to instruct me on how to get it working or point me in the direction of a helpful link that HASN'T 404'd?

[bradyisace]

@bradyisace Nevermind, I downloaded the latest Ultr@pack and these effects are included.

[ChampionFx]

@bradyisace

That was the most wise thing with downloading UltraPack, Now , did you applied special patch for Steam IL-2 1946 game version? There is patch for Steam version in order for mods to work .

Ricochet Gunsmoke 0 50 Caliber Bullets 3D Smoketrail mod is not included in UltraPack, once you have patched install and having the game main MODS folder unzip this mod and open folder, inside are 4 different versions just pick which one you want to use and drop that mod in to your MODS folder .

[bradyisace]

@ChampionFx Awesome, thanks for the info.

[JaguarKinG95]

hey,i havnt got this mod folder to put one of them into it...?sould i make a folder with "mod" or something other?.... pls help :D

[1Fireskull]

It's amazing :)

[Putaspellonyou]

reminds me of a book i read about the battle of britain once...how people could look up at the dogfights happening miles up in the sky and hear nothing, but see the shell casings as they glinted in the sunlight falling from the heavens...then go about their daily business...

[1Fireskull]

ChampionFX, I really like this mod. In what latest mod pack for IL-2 can we find this? ...or in what future mod pack? Also... all the smoke effects look great! The steam locomotive had the wood burning type of smoke (coal burning would be black smoke). What mod pack has that mod and the other effects all in one pack?

[ChampionFx]

@1Fireskull

Thank you, this mod is not included in any package, it's a separate option for anyone to use if they want to add bullets ricochet, better gun barrel smoke and 0.50 caliber bullets very decent smoketrail effects which was coded separately only for .50 caliber guns. This file after downloading and unzipping have 4 different mods inside to chose and we recommend: 00_HG&P_Ricochet_Gunsmoke_Bull­ets_2D_Smoketrail of those 4 versions.

It is a great addition to the Plutonium effects :)

[skii6868]

Lmao! you ever get that game where you woke the fuck up?

You know, had real life!? No!! You Didn't!!

I bet I can get more people than you can to tell you what life was about.

Before you try, understand.

[ChampionFx]

@skii6868

thanks , I have a quite wonderful life you would be surprised , I have plenty of time to do this and all other stuff which I like to do , I am not losing sleep ;)

Is there anything I can do to improve your life and attitude ?

[DardoUltimate]

@ChampionFx That, my friend, was a pure win response XDDDD

[ChampionFx]

@DardoUltimate

thank you ;)

[LethalHobo]

Ever play intellect or virtue? They're good games too.

[Phillax31]

The one problem with this is the clip states "50 cal" and the first aircraft, a IL2 used its machine guns which are a 7.62 mm ShKAS machine gun, not a 50 cal. apart from that everything looks nice :)

[ChampionFx]

@Phillax31

IL-2 1946 = WWII air combat simulator with literally hundreds of available different planes .

Ricochet Gunsmoke .50 Caliber Bullets 3D Smoketrail = mod for planes with .50 caliber guns only like Mustangs P-51etc.. adding bullets smoketrail to it .

This .50 bullets smoketrail have nothing to do with IL-2 Sturmovik plane guns except for bullets ricochet effect which is working for all planes .

THX ;-)

S! HG

[sbd45acp]

Wow- nicely done comparison to real gun Camera footage. The brass and links from the Mustang seems a little TOO detailed... but the # of casings actually seems about right.

[creamycurdy]

how come though?

[ChampionFx]

It's just bullet smoketrail added to 0.50 caliber guns , it's independent effect of any other in-game aircraft gun .

Bullets ricochet effects is working for all in-game guns ;)

[creamycurdy]

will you add these to the 30cals at some point?

[lioks]

can i add this mod to the steam version??how do i do?pleas anyone

[ChampionFx]

Google exactly :

Steam version of IL2 1946 and UP2.0

There you will see a lot of weblinks including this mentioned for google search to read what you need to get it work , there is small patch for IL-2 1946 Steam version users that needs to be installed ;)

[creamycurdy]

do the trails effect the 30cals too?

[ChampionFx]

No ;)

[JonisKanonis]

Holy shit! Who needs Storm Of War when there are guys like you around...really nice!

[ChampionFx]

Thank you ;-)

I can't wait to see what Oleg was hiding from us for the past many years .

BoB:SoW will be a visual treat , we will have no longer any modding work to do and finally we will get some relax and time for flying campaigns and missions .

S! HG ;-)

[djrgg]

where EXACTLY do i add the file in the il1 sturmovik folder. in the read me it only says ''add it in your main mods folder'' WITCH ONE IS IT?

[shutup735]

media fire, COME ON!!! we all know the only GOOD DL site is file front! whos with me?!?!?!

[ChampionFx]

Merry Christmas ;-)

link added .

[ChampionFx]

Inside this folder are 4 different mods to choose from , pick the one you will like the most and try it .

Bullets 3D smoketrail version is only for movies and slow motion gun camera video movies creation ;-)

[shutup735]

lol thx, and merry christmas 2 you :)

[ChampionFx]

;-)

[slpkntmggt06]

Thanks, man!! I really appreciate it. Mod is downloaded and installed. about to try it now!!

[ChampionFx]

Have fun !!

I love bullets ricocheting during ground pounding , let me know which of the 4 version are you using , 3D smoketrail version is only for movies creation so you still have other three versions to choose from ;-)

Thanks

S! HolyGrail

[slpkntmggt06]

Is this mod 4.09m compatible?

[ChampionFx]

It will work with any IL-2 1946 game version install as long as it is patched properly in order to work with mods .

Only thing is that you may not get 0.50 caliber bullets smoketrail to work on any brand new recently released additional planes B-25 , P-51 and P-38 versions , only on original game default planes B-25 , P-51 and P-38 versions.

We will look in to this new planes bullets smoketrail issue latter on .

Bullets ricochet works for all planes ;-)

[aaaaspiffy]

Hi ChampionFx - I should have said: excellent work with these effects!! I had assumed you were indeed referring to filming effect :-)  - my reply was aimed at spinnetti who seemed to be referring to the actual ingame tracers.

[ChampionFx]

Hi aaaaspiffy ;-)

Thank you so much , yes , I knew your post was about spinnetti's idea with "squiggly" looking tracers effect .

While it could be veeeery interesting to have it for movies making , such mod will likely not happen anytime soon unless someone else do it as we have other few mods projects to do having to finishing and releasing them .

There's always something new....just around the corner ;-)

S! ChampionFx / HolyGrail

[leedguitr]

GREAT WORK. You guys are doing an awesome job. keep it up.

[ChampionFx]

Thank you very much , such comments are very appreciated by our Effects Team for future new visual immersive effects development by following WWII air battles archival footage ;-)

[spinnetti]

Looks great... Notice how real tracers travel in a "squiggly" line? Any chance to to do the same for IL2? would really up the realism..

[ChampionFx]

It would be really interesting to know if this game engine is still capable of pulling out new "squiggly" looking tracers effect .

This game engine is like a box of chocolates , you never know what you're gonna get ;-)

Thank you .

[aaaaspiffy]

Real tracers actually don't travel in a "squiggly" line.... what you're seeing is the effect of vibration / gunshake on the camera - making them APPEAR that way on film.

[ChampionFx]

Just for IL-2 1946 movies creation simulating WWII film gun camera footage effect for those who will prefer to use it .

Yes , the same thing goes for bullets smoketrail making them look like spiral and curving shape because of gunshake of the camera .

[CAPTJACKAUBREY69]

Very well done.

[ChampionFx]

Thank you ;-)

[Mattebubben]

whats the name of the mod or can u try to find a link for me?

[Mattebubben]

the link aint working but i want it Baaadly =(

[RascalKyng]

How come green plane shards or bits are NOT falling off anymore?

Any way to bring that feature back, in a small form... it was a great indicator that your shots hit their mark..

[ChampionFx]

Exactly at 2:04 if you stop the video at that time you can see debris falling off just above fiery plane and Mustang's wing black strip .

It's harder to see in this video because of darker color and angles of footage .

Debris is still there but less than originally as the amount of debris was overdone ;-)

[sharter15]

Very nice work on the effects.

one question, what's that music? It sounds vaguely familiar.

[ChampionFx]

Thank you ,

yeah , this music is just a different version from " HG & P Effects Platinum Special Edition mod " last release video where you can find in text comments section answer about these songs ;-)

[osesdavid]

O.o

Gunsmoke and shells! Yes!!

Thank You very much Stan, really, thank You!

Regards mate ;-D

[ChampionFx]

Hi Dave ;-)

It might sound strange but previously it was not possible to have gunsmoke exiting from gun barrel and empty shells both at the same time , it was just one or another option.

Now both work together as they should be .

Ricochet effect is just a cream on the top of the cake ;-)

S!
