Hi,
after installing the SCP today, i see that the Flak Cannons have a new Explosion effect which i don't like. But the other new effects and animations are great. How can i use the old "dark and white" Explosion for the Flak Cannons without removing the other cool stuff of SCP?
Thanx

Just extract the old flak cannon effect from the sparky_fs2 vp file and place it in the effects folder.  The game would use that effect instead of the one in the media files but use the other effects.

That will work as long as the new flak isn't in a format with higher priority (I suspect it may be though).

[[Wolf]Maverick]

thanx, and how i change the priority, if the new effect has a higher priority?

Erm, AFAIK, there isn't a new flak anim in the mediaVPs. I've been looking for a new one since 3.6.5, but I don't think I ever got one.

You already have it. Run the launcher then go to Features>>Gameplay>>Enables 3D Radar

[[Wolf]Maverick]

On Features>>Gameplay   i only have the flags "no biempierce" and "reduceradar".
I use FS_Open 3.6 and Launcher 5.2, did i have and old version?

Very old. The current official version is 3.6.5 and even that is 7 months old.

If you aren't worried about bleeding edge feratures I recommend this build as it is basically a bug-fixed 3.6.5.

If you want the most up to date version check the recent builds forum.

oops.. thanx
now i can also enjoy the 3d Radar
