Search Re-entry flames from the internal views?

[Messierhunter]

I can't remember the name of this mod, but I remember seeing an add-on with multiple functions, one of which was to make re-entry flames visible from the first-person views. Does anyone know the title of the mod I'm talking about or have a link? Thanks!

Hi MessierHunter, here ya go, [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3508"]Computerex Add-on Pack[/ame] it's called Orb reentry stream, its in that download.If you can figure out how to get the flames to appear inthe DGIV, or the, XR5 cockpit view, I would appreciate some incite on how you managed to do it, thou,you will have to fiddle with the config, have fun.

Yeah, I'm not getting visible re-entry flames in the interior views with that mod either, although the appearance of the flames did seem to change a bit from the exterior.

Ok, I finally got it to work. The key seems to be that you need to use Intermod_2 in combination with the orbReentryStreams mod.

That gets rid of near-camera clipping, which was preventing the customized re-entry streams from appearing. Basically all I did then was copy the DGIV's ini file and rename it XR2Ravenstar. I may have also altered some of the front cockpit streams to be a little more forward than they were before (by increasing the final number in each stream's "pos" value). Thanks Interceptor, I knew about intermod_2, but I had forgotten the name of orbReentryStream.

I Have XR2 Ravenstar already working, did you get the DGIV or the XR5 vanguard,working with cockpit flames yet.Thanks

 

[Messierhunter]

Yes, the same mod combination worked for the DGIV for me. As long as you have the default DGIV configuration for the re-entry flames and intermod_2, it should work. I haven't tested it with the XR5 yet.

I really don't understand, can you post your the configs,and some more details about intermod and how to use it please.Thanks

OK I am going to try that intermod, it sounds cool! let me know if you have any luck with XR5 vanguard.

 

[Messierhunter]

As long as orbReentryStreams and the intermod_2 modules are activated you should have visible re-entry effects on the DGIV. Let me know if you still don't see anything after combining those two. As for the XR5, it's a much bigger vessel than either the DGIV or XR2, so I'm guessing it'll need its own re-entry effects configuration almost from scratch. I wouldn't know how to make it look good, though I might be able to mangle a DGIV config to work from the interior view only.
