Visual Enhancement Suggestions (Water Surface & Smoke Effects)

  • Hello IPACS team,

    First of all, thank you for the recent updates — performance and stability have noticeably improved.

    I would like to share a few visual enhancement suggestions that could further improve immersion:

    1. More realistic water rendering

    The current water surface looks good at high altitude, but at low altitude it feels relatively flat. Adding more dynamic reflections, wave detail, or light interaction could greatly improve realism, especially during coastal or low-level flights.

    2. Smoke and visual effects

    Adding subtle visual effects such as:

    • Engine exhaust / heat blur

    • Afterburner exhaust effects for fighter jets

    • Tire smoke during touchdown

    • Reverse thrust airflow effect

    These small additions could significantly enhance immersion without changing core gameplay.

    3. Multiplayer (long-term idea)

    Multiplayer could be an interesting long-term feature, but I understand it requires major infrastructure and server resources. It may be something to consider in the future.

    Thank you for your continued development and improvements.

  • IPACS are bound to keep increasing the demand on devices as the program keeps pace with continuous hardware improvements in mobile devices. The best fix is to buy significantly more expensive gear knowing that it will last far longer and save money in the long run, plus you get sparkling enhanced performance for several years.
