Not sure what you mean. Whatever effect you're talking about may have been disabled by the mod. Or maybe you mean screen shaking when a large explosion happens? If you have that disabled, hit F11 and enable the screenshake widget.

Well, i have an ATI and i can't see them no matter what i do.
When i did see them i wasn't that much impressed,they are not my favorite effects but i'd bet these are video card issues.

notice what happens when stuff explodes.
There are shockwave bubbles.
Best seen when the tanks are inside the base already blowing buildings up.

I don't see what you're talking about

Replace your brain's ATI video card.

press f11, and see if the LUPS widgets are turned off (if this is the problem, the planes don't have anything coming out of their engines either)

Thanks for replies guys, I too have a ATI 4850 but also same thing happens with gtx 280..

tried flicking lups widget on and off, no effect..

okay so did some testing.. works flawlessly in CA even without any widgets loaded..

so must be some setting in ba somewhere..

just tried old ba version no difference also did totally fresh intall still no effect............

[bartvbl]

widgets that could be the one giving problems:
-blurapi
-Lups
-LupsManager
(both must be turned on)

with the note that I am no expert on this

i think he is talking about the groundflash, the white glowing expanding circle under explosions.

[manolo_]

maybe the widget camera shakey (#camera)

[luckywaldo7]

Wrong and wrong.

He is referring to the distortion effect you get in certain circumstances, here self-destroying an llt.

[Licho]

Distortion is created by LUPS system made by jK for CA.
Only BA and CA use it afaik and it can have some problems on ATI or older cards.

You can tweak lups.cfg to configure it (or fake gfx card in case autodetects fails and you dont see anything).
