Mechwarrior / Battletech is a worn down, industrial, broken and dirty sci fi universe. Missle Trails support the atmosphere and also are helpful on the battlefield. Taste :D
Agreed. Like how some complain about the staticky, low quality coms assuming we'd be technologically beyond such audible impurities. People are using tech thats hundreds of years old, some of which was manufactured as early as the Starleague. Shits going to show its age however advanced. That is if they are even using old yet advanced tech. Which considering the constant warfare and attrition would be unviable so they'd be certainly be force to manufacture simpler, more dated, and recreatable tech like oldschool walkie-talkies and HAM radios.
Agreed, if you wish things to look contemporary to now. Only because we are used to it. Taste, for sure. Purely cosmetic. I get it. Things will be better sorted 1000 years from now. Tech doesn't sit still for 1000 years. Star trek has no missile trails in space or on land and Star wars is similar, some trails others no.
IRL, missile trails get counter-battery. Just ask the Russians, lol. Modern military lasers are invisible and they want it that way. So I would imagine that all missiles currently would be smokeless/trail-less if possible.
Where do you people come from with such critical comments about something sweet like this....? LOL... who the F cares about elite science when the battlefield gets vivid? Ill take the trails....hopefully this still works....
"Always kills me how people want missile trails. 1000 years from now, there will be little or no trails from missiles if you think about it."
Always shock me when people make these cringe comments, complaining about 'rEaLiSm' in a fictional sci-fi universe... 1000 years from now there will be no trails from missiles... or missiles at all. Or helicopters, or tanks, or human pilots, or humans at all... who can tell. All completely irrelevant for this universe, this game, this mod...
I tried this mod, removed it but the trails still are present when I put my settings to Maximum. Probably there are some leftovers of this mod somewhere. Can someone help me out? Where could it be stored? I already deleted it from the mod folder.
It is not another mod because I removed all the mods from the mod folder and ran the game. The smoke trails are still there when the effects are set on Maximum.
i love it - add so much visuals to LRMs but if you like me having Nvidia 1650ti and a laptop - it overheat my pc :) and low FPS in some maps is there a chance to use\make a varsion of this mod for LOW FX Settings ?
Interestingly, I've returned to this mod for missile trails and smoke because of the high overhead of HFB missiles in conjunction with atmospheric mods. It still works and looks great with DLC 3 update.
I was impressed on how good it performs with this. I Still use HFB for PPC and AC, but this is a great substitute for the missiles.
I recommend this Load Order manager: https://discourse.modsinexile.com/t/mw5-load-order-tool-set-lots/249 Learn how to use it and it will help you forever;)
looks great!:) I have added your clip to the vonBiomes Modpage btw: https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/441?tab=videos Do you have a mod list to share on the Youtube clip description? Curios!
So i got the mod working, but the trails are not as dark as they are in the pics, is there a way to make them darker and more visible Before you ask, yes i had the graphics to max on everything. I mean i can see them but once the LRM 15 goes about say 25-50 feet, then the trail picks up and see them.
No longer works with the WAR_FX mod due to that mods update with missile trails. I still prefer VonMissileTrails though. Is there a way to have this mod load over the WAR_FX mod for the missile smoke visuals?
EDIT: Will try to use the MW5 mod manager to see if that can fix the issue.
EDIT2: Can confirm this works with WAR_FX mod as long as you make the VonMissileTrails mod a higher priority in the MW5 mod manager.

Perhaps running a second mod making trails?

HFB missiles work but i like vonMissiles the more.
Load Missle Trails so it overrides other mods.
Die Rauchspuren sehen einfach nur endgeil aus, wenn sie die Sonne verdunkeln und den Tag zur letzten Nacht meines Gegners machen!
