Any problems comment on GTA-MODS.com to MxT333

HINT*sometimes its best to put *full* update folder into mods folder, and mod/add from there! 

Mod Changes:
v3
more work on fire, explosions and smoke,
included before & after pictures 
included video & new screens

v2
Fresh start, new higher quality 
Sparks are small and less visible, 
Blue implosion more visible
check screesn for all changes

v1
Added spark effects, a few blueish purple start effects, 
overall sharpen of explosions and smoke. 
WAY MORE WORK TO BE DONE 
just uploading v1 to get peoples reviews and input.
