I was wondering if anyone would like to make a bird poop effect for my hawk. Grin

Inappropriate?? I think it would be funny to poo-bomb cars and other planes. Also, the bird itself can't take off under its own power, and makes smoke and skids to a stop when it lands, then it just gets to jumpy before it flips over and "explodes". I'd also love it to be able to land on water. A new .air file would be tons of help. Thanks!!

I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

Not naming yourself after a runny, pink liquid would be about the right place . . . Tongue

Just joking.

Check out the stock aircraft floatplane config file and look under the section titled "Contact Points". It should give you an idea of what makes things float.

I think he probably wants to use the [SMOKESYSTEM] line, not the contact points. Wink

Yeah, I know you need the effecxt, I was just telling Travis that you would use the smokesystem line. I don't see how the contact points apply travis? Huh

If you need a drop file, you could always remake the parachutist in the PAD dhc-6

By the way, strawberry, where did you get the hawk? (download link) I'm gonna take a look at the contact points etc to see if we can't fix that little skid and flip over problem so we no longer have a crazy kamikaze birdie. Grin

Here you go! It does work in FSX. Can you also fix it so it doesn't poof a cloud of smoke and burst into flames whne it crashes or lands? Sad

A bird poo effect wouldn't be much use unless it was possible to make a poo-shaped mark on the object that it hit, and I'm not sure how you could do that!

I was thinking you could make it a droppable object and make an effect with a bird poo mark for impact.
