Shaders edits to make some effects (afterburner, rockets exhausts, flares) a little bit more realistic
Less visible in daytime, glowing white/purple at night
*** UPDATED FOR 2.7 ***

Two missions used for benchmarking DCS graphics settings.  Press "A" for autopilot once mission starts and then activate your benchmarking software when the in-mission message tells you to.  Deactivate when stop message appears.

Two missions; one has high CPU overhead, the other low.

Ultra realistic and dynamic sound mod for the F/A-18 Hornet. v2.0

**Note: While you can use this mod if you wish, I highly recommend to use my new "Hornet Ultra Realistic SOUND mod" also in this section.

An improved sound mod for the Hornet!

the "afterburner.dds" file in the "Werewolf's Re-Heat Afterburner Mod 2.0" was not align properly in center and tainted with extra visible line. I had fine tuned and clean up certain dirt for the texture.  Since the License was listed as Freeware "Free version, Unlimited distribution" in "Werewolf's Re-Heat Afterburner Mod 2.0". I up-load it here as "Free version, Unlimited distribution" as well and most of hard work was "Werewolf1025".

Zip file contain the fixed "afterburner.dds" texture file that was mainly from "https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1941517/?sphrase_id=8014114".

and tuned "afterburnerCircle.dds" was from "Werewolf's Re-Heat Afterburner Mod - Shockwave 1.0" to match the current "Werewolf's Re-Heat Afterburner Mod 2.0" profile.
"https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2123809/?sphrase_id=8014114".

Install method was same as described in Werewolf1025 's afterburner mod.

UPDATED September 26th 2017

MISSION TRACK MAY NOT WORK WITH SUPERCARRIER UPGRADE

This is a Mission I fly when I want to test new DCS settings, hardware or OBS settings. The explosion is really consistent when the SLAM-ER missiles hit the bridge and S-300/Buk Air Defence systems. I put them really close together bottlenecked on a bridge and with fuel trucks all around. It's not meant to be realistic. It makes the explosion always happen about the same so it's a great stress test. It's also a fun mission.

I included a Track file you can open in Replay from the main menu if you just want to benchmark with it, not fly the mission.

*Sometimes the S-300 system blows itself up. Smoking carelessly I guess.. Just make sure you check F7 before setting up your missiles.

The purpose of this track is to provide a unified and consistent way to benchmark GPUs.
You'll be flying a TF-51 in the Marianas. These two modules have been chosen because they are free and are pretty demanding compared to some others.


How to :
- Copy the file to your C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Saved Games\DCS\Tracks
- Launch DCS and run this track from the Replay menu


You can use MSI Afterburner to calculate the average FPS you are getting while playing the track.
