No Ship Reflections 1.2 incl. Enhanced Funnel Smoke (EFS) by HansSolo78
Changes in 1.2:
Removed reflections for the Queen Mary
Changes in 1.1:
-Removed a few more ships that still showed wakes
-Confirmed patch 1.2 compatibility.
The problem: user can see the reflection of a ship in good or bad weather from 15-25 km away, sometimes before seeing the smoke. For realism purposes we would not want to track a target by using its reflection, this is unfair to merchant men.
The solution: remove the reflections for all surface ships
No picture required here. Imagine the ships reflection in your head, now go ahead and remove it. That's what it looks like.
Made for immersionists who prefer to not track ships via their reflections from miles out....
This only removes the above water reflections on ships. Stars, sun and other units will still reflect as per normal. This mod changes the .sim of every stock ship in SH5 (58 applicable ships) removing the ship reflections above water completely.
Ships will no longer show reflections from 20 km away but no longer will you see them up close as well. I tried to change the MinVisDim and MaxVisDim to keep the reflections only for up close but this did not seem to have any affect.
Perhaps in the future someone can do better and figure how to adjust reflections to only show from a few hundred meters away.
If anyone notices reflections on ships using this mod, let me know and will release a new version. Credit is given to HanSolo78 for his esthetically pleasing Enhanced Funnel Smoke mod which is included with this mod.
JSGME ready, for permission to use this mod please contact HanSolo78 (subsim.com).
No need to contact ddrgn permission is given already as long as credit is shown.
