[WIP] Funnel smoke finally wind affected

rs77 · 07-31-2009, 02:33 AM

please take a look at the scene when wind = 5 is blowing direction = 180:

ncv 1 is heading 270 at 5 knots:

ncv 2 is heading 90 at 15 knots:

peri view of both of them (1 on the left, 2 on the right) + weather report:

who discovered this ? the answer is Racerboy

his exhaust for uboats IS actually wind affected then why not the ship's funnel smoke ? his exhaust for uboats is also dependant on vessel's speed then why not the funnel smoke ?

I'm still working on it

I use Enhanced funnel smoke as a pattern and follow Racerboy's Exhaust with ADM for wind effects.

yyyy why nothing new ?

I believe that I achieved smoke that is affected by wind, and should change when the wind changes

also now ships are producing less smoke when going slower and more smoke when going faster

I draw a scene because it's maybe not very clear from the above pictures:

han,

do you mean that it wwas already working like this in Enhanced Funnel Smoke ? I read those threads and I was pretty sure that there was only some static wind effect applied..

I'm with contact on this one, keep experimenting

A lot of people probably don't compare the funnel smoke with wind direction, and think it works even if it doesn't.

Even if another mod has fixed it, your approach may work better than that one, and under more/different conditions.

Plus there's also the satisfaction of knowing you fixed it yourself
