New Effects & Detailed Cockpits Coming in Tusk Force!
Tusk Force doesn’t just bring new vehicles, it also brings some new effects and detailed cockpits! Today, we’ll be taking a detailed look at some these upcoming improvements.
We’ve updated the cockpits of two planes and a helicopter. For these screenshots, we’ve turned off the pilot model in cockpit to give a clearer view. Take a look below!
Please note that the Mi-8 and Ka-29 detailed cockpits that were spoken about in the Community Update post still need some more work and won’t be ready in time for Tusk Force, these will come to the game in the future.
The Meteor Mk.8 cockpits have been given some extra details throughout.

In the previous major update, we introduced the fuel dumping mechanic to just the F-111. We’ve now gone ahead and added this mechanic to a variety of jet aircraft, some of which include the Su-27s, F-14, F-18, Typhoons, Rafale, Tornados, Harriers, and many more. Here’s some cool screenshots!
If you’d like to try, you’ll need to keybind the following: Controls > Aircraft > Fuel dumping.
The Gripen has one nozzle that can be ignited
The F-15 and Su-30SM have two nozzles
The Harriers have two nozzles, one on each wing
The Typhoons have the nozzle at the top of the vertical stabilizer
Before, trees would fall down in their entirety when shot at. We’ve updated the destruction of trees so that they break apart, depending on where you shot them. For example, if you shot the top of a tree, the part above where you hit would be sheered off and the rest of the trunk would remain.
Shooting the lower, medium and top part of a tree
The fire effect when ammunition cooks off in ground vehicles such as the Leopard and Abrams and the general fire effect of ground vehicles after they are destroyed have been updated! Fire now sways and curls in a constant motion, making it look more realistic.
New Flame Effects
Rocket and missile smoke trails have now been made thicker and more apparent with extra details, helping to see where they are while in flight! The flame effect of rocket and missile motors has been made more apparent too.
Updated missile smoke trails
That’s it for today. Tusk Force is almost ready to release now, so stay tuned to the news for announcements!
