Any chance we could get an update on this mod? It really adds to the realism. I wish Bohemia would quit screwing up all our mods with needless updates.

Any plans on a update on this? Seems to not work anymore.

Hey Steven, love the mod! Could you check if you can add compatibility for the new Task Force 373 MH-47G SOAR Chinook mod? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2993751324 . Let me know if you think you can help. Thanks!

MattPlaysSimulations Jun 10, 2023 @ 2:24am 
this mod doesnt seem to work anymore
Vernichter91 May 23, 2023 @ 11:56am 
I downloaded the mod, but when I try it inside the game there is nothing to see
GOMERSGOOD May 15, 2023 @ 11:39am 
the bluer water mod is the other mod with th eANZ key right? you mean if i use that mod it include this? or i can use THAT key for this mod?

@ANZACSAS Steven Sorry for not being really specific, what I meant was that I have to almost be eight feet from the ground for the effects to truly show up. I will definitely check the lite version though
CalicoJack Apr 29, 2023 @ 10:17am 
thank you!
ANZACSAS Steven  [author] Apr 29, 2023 @ 7:29am 
@ZERO COOL ,if you already have the ANZ key on the server you dont need to add this.

@CalicoJack, Yes.

@fowler.joshuadouglas, the brownout effect is better now.From 3rd person view the dust may seem less.But i think you will find from 1st person view this version obscures view more.Have you tried the Lite version.Maybe you will prefer that one.
fowler.joshuadouglas Apr 23, 2023 @ 9:22am 
Do you have plans to make an alternative version that brings back the true brownout that it had before the optimization?
CalicoJack Apr 13, 2023 @ 5:46am 
Is the AIs vision also blocked by the dust effects?
GOMERSGOOD Feb 14, 2023 @ 10:12am 
this has the same key as your other mod? what key do i use if i use both mods?
ANZACSAS Steven  [author] Feb 14, 2023 @ 6:02am 
Updated with server key.:steamfacepalm:
ANZACSAS Steven  [author] Feb 14, 2023 @ 5:38am 
@ElzearContelly2 ,I gave this a bit of an optimisation.The amount is less but its been edited so that the less dust will block view more.Its harder to see through now.

@Garuda Thirteen , possibly in the future.

@autistensohn , Thanks! Make sure you have high gfx settings and the surface your on will make a big difference.

@coreyh0000 , Prolly will run with other EFX mods.I have used it with EFX mods but cant remember which one.

@The grouch , Yes.

@Fuzzle , Prolly will.
@jettchampagne and @nerexis | nmilsim.wordpress.com 2, I'll look into it now.Thanks for the heads up!
I've missed these comments somehow.Soz for not replying promptly.
ElzearContelly2 Feb 4, 2023 @ 2:46pm 
It seems the amount of smoke has decreased a lot in the past few months, is it normal?
Garuda XIII Dec 8, 2022 @ 7:39am 
snow version?
Lostnils Dec 4, 2022 @ 7:34am 
Hey i love this mod! though it seems in my game i get way less dust than shown in the screenshots, is there a way to edit something to increase the amount of dust displayed? would be sick!
Lying Sack Of Fun Nov 25, 2022 @ 9:34pm 
I'd assume this doesn't work with blastcore because blastcore is so extensive and there is no compatibility listed in the description
The grouch Nov 21, 2022 @ 2:25pm 
Client Sided?
Fuzzle Sep 30, 2022 @ 12:35am 
Does this most recent update enable this mod to work alongside Blastcore?
jettchampagne Sep 24, 2022 @ 5:29am 
thank you for the confirmation.
nerexis | nmilsim.wordpress.com Sep 24, 2022 @ 3:33am 
The addon is missing the server key.
jettchampagne Sep 23, 2022 @ 6:30pm 
first of all... i would like to say thank you for the free mod and the hard work put into this. this mod is great and definitely increases my immersion in arma. i host a dedicated server and with the new update i am getting a signature mismatch. after looking at the new updated file it appears that i do not have a bikey to upload into the keys folder on my server. is that the issue or am i missing something? i am not sure how to sign the mod and make a bikey but i will figure it out if it is necessary.
ANZACSAS Steven  [author] Jul 26, 2022 @ 6:41am 
Better particle efx this version.Unable to zoom in through the dust efx better now.:steamhappy:
ANZACSAS Steven  [author] Jul 26, 2022 @ 6:39am 
Not atm m8.Maybe in the future.
JulianDE Jun 16, 2022 @ 9:03am 
Are there any plans for a snow version of it?
ANZACSAS Steven  [author] Apr 19, 2022 @ 5:01am 
This should work with 99% of addons.Unless the addon defines its own dust efx ,which most dont, this mod will work.:)
Luci Apr 15, 2022 @ 8:25am 
Any plans to include AH-64 Official Project Heli's?
ANZACSAS Steven  [author] Apr 6, 2022 @ 5:36am 
Fixed meta.cpp file.was causing issues with server use i believe.further updates to Particles may come soon.
K. Daum Apr 6, 2022 @ 2:57am 
whats the update?
datleee Jan 23, 2022 @ 7:18pm 
Is there anyway to reduce the intensity of smoke that the heli wing create?
DxG6767 Dec 7, 2021 @ 10:33pm 
wait uhhh there is something messing up with this mod, its blastcore (compiled by neetch), blastcore doseant work with this mod rip.
DxG6767 Oct 12, 2021 @ 4:11am 
is it possible to make the effect on a smaller scale for the pawnhee and other lighter helis?
nerexis | nmilsim.wordpress.com Sep 27, 2021 @ 3:50am 
We resign to use this mod waited too long for simple change to be done. We plan to release our own version of the same stuff.
nerexis | nmilsim.wordpress.com Jul 1, 2021 @ 3:50pm 
Hi any news about meta.cpp publishedid?
ANZACSAS Steven  [author] Jun 29, 2021 @ 2:26am 
Thanks for the feedback m8.Been real busy.Havnt had time to check the todo list.Sry.I'll look into this tonight!!.
Thanks for the help and patience.:)
nerexis | nmilsim.wordpress.com Jun 26, 2021 @ 11:17am 
Please update publisherID in meta.cpp to 1537745369
ANZACSAS Steven  [author] Jun 25, 2021 @ 3:05am 
It is possible i think and it may already exist.Some terrains may already have this feature.A little research thru Google might turn something up.
Valken May 12, 2021 @ 6:47pm 
I wanted to ask is it possible to change the "dust" to look like "snow" on maps like Winter Chernarus? So it blows up snow instead? Maybe a simple replace the dust particles with the snow "rain" particles? Same for all dust type mods.
VoodooMonkey Apr 3, 2021 @ 9:22pm 
Awesome mod for us pilots :) Any plans or chance of a spray effect for when low over water? Cheers.
Sinnyx Apr 1, 2021 @ 1:19pm 
You need to fix, that there is the brownout effect on asphalt, helipads roofs etc.
TakeoverAsh900 Mar 23, 2021 @ 8:21pm 
hey is this compatible with blastcore?
[OCB] Valour Mar 23, 2021 @ 3:19pm 
Never been able to get this mod working. Not sure why.
ANZACSAS Steven  [author] Mar 16, 2021 @ 6:23am 
SpongyTheMan, Client side m8.
Tiger_1 , make a collection m8.Thats what there for.:)
Nerexis, Hadnt noticed but i'll have to look into it soon.Been short of time lately.
nerexis | nmilsim.wordpress.com Mar 10, 2021 @ 4:25pm 
Guys your server key is incorrect and is mixed with https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1484261993 causing a problem with joining a server.
Tiger_1 Feb 25, 2021 @ 1:14am 
Thanks for all the effort and hard work you guys have put into this brilliant MOD, would it be Okay if I used it on my MP squad ?
SpongyTheMan Jan 23, 2021 @ 12:50pm 
is this clientside or everyone must have it?
WrathActual Jan 17, 2021 @ 7:42am 
@ANZACSAS Steven Love the mod, man, it really makes LZ's feel more immersive. The only bug I've noticed so far is that the dust effects for RHS's CH-53 only seem to work when flying at a low altitude, such as approaching or departing an LZ but as soon as you touch down, the dust FX stop. On other choppers I've tested, mainly the CH-47 and UH-60 everything seems to be fine though. Either way, brilliant work!
