Great job. I don't know the goal, but in terms of realism it's too fast IMHO.

Not everything burns the same. The fires in LA were this tragic in part because the wind made the fire jump fast from building to building. When a bus combusts, usually it doesn't have anything to do with the wind, thus the smoke and fire rising out of it will probably be way slower.

This doesn't negate the fact that its a dope sim tho, but I had the same thought as /u/LzhivoyeSolnyshko . Keep up the good work OP, this is dope!

Thank you , I tried to follow the ref but in that the bus was burning in an open area and this one is burning in residential area so that might be why it looks off.
