v3.0 update for SU10
The PBK Effects Library is released for scenery developers to add a bit more life to their scenery packs.
Initially the pack is small and contains five Smoke effects (small, medium and large, XL and XXL), two camp fires and a chopping block and axe and a cooling tower.
I have delibrately not connected the smoke effects to visible simobjects so the developer can position the smoke effects anywhere they like. The medium/large smoke effect is ideal for chimneys and the small effect is suitable for campfires/bbqs.
The smoke effects are named:
pbk_smoke_S, pbk_smoke_M and pbk_smoke_L; pbk_smoke_XL and pbk_Smoke_XXL are available as simobjects
the scenery objects are
pbk-campfire-lit, pbk-campfire-smoulder, pbk-chopping-block and pbk-cooling-tower
Developers: just drop the library into the community folder and the objects will be selectable in the SDK under the scenery or simobjects dropdowns
Users: just drop the library into the community folder and remove old copies of the pbk-effects or pbk_effects libraries
Many thanks for your excelent work. It is very useful to my developements. You deserve the donation I've made.

The I Love VFR mods are devleoped to place smoke etc onto existing locations. My mod is a library for scenery developers to use in their own scenery mods

Just wondering if these effects could be turned upside down and then be used for waterfalls .e. Victoria Falls, Niagara falls, Angel Falls etc? Would then look like water spray falling downwards.

Question for you - is it possible to have a day/night cycle switch in the fire and smolder fx? Before fx were available I made my fires with blender and a glow that would turn off at dawn and turn on at dusk. This is not a feature request I am just curious. Of course if you wanted to do something like that..... lol

I think in the last update emissive textures were enabled so it should be possible

In fact LOD0 only is OK, smoke XXL is not visible from far and can be higher more than x1000 feet as real. Thanks again.

I'll recheck the range when I get a moment. I thought it was set around 10Km but could be wrong. Kev
