Visual Improvements

Wildfire Command '98 · published · build 26015926

This update introduces a number of visual changes designed to help you understand what's going on in the game.

Aircraft

Aircraft now have makings, red paint on wingtips, bellies, and blades. Strobes, landing lights, and anti-collision lights on all aircraft help you see them while they do their work. Helis now have solid blades that turn.

Fire

Flames have been reworked to be easier to read. The fire also moves and flickers more smoothly.

Towns

Buildings have variable types and shapes to better represent towns. When a structure is lost it now collapses to the ground.

Other

  • Added windsocks at airbases to aid in reading the wind.

  • Improved compass visuals.

  • Reduced callsign size to reduce clutter.

  • Heli downwash affects the trees under it.
