    Default Special Effects be gone (more fps for campaign map + trails gone)

    Hey,

    This revised package as an alternative to my "Cloud and selection removal pack" removes all special effects from the campaign, dust effects from battles and all missile trails except flammable weapons. It definitely helps with fps, atleast for me. It disables even more than my old cloud/selection pack. I'd use this until CA fixes the campaign map fps.

    Removing the effects improves my fps by about 20-30% so I prefer it over the effects. Some of them I've found cheesy and not needed anyway so I don't miss them . For battles I removed the missile trails from all missile units excluding flaming weapons (explosive rounds, fire arrows...) since I found these physics-denying effects quite silly to look and the ingame settings for disabling trails don't seem to work.

    Screens showing the fps increase for the campaign map (look at the fps counter)

    You do realize that in the settings there is an option By default to turn off Missile trails.
