This detail shows exhaust exiting on port and starboard sides.

And the stock skins have those openings painted in place.

Well, that's looking positive. I'd use it.

Smoke disappears when you dive.
Also shuts off if deck goes awash then returns.
Kinda neat.

It looks terrific. I don't know if it's possible to adjust, but maybe just a touch too heavy (or too dark)??

04-18-07, 09:20 PM

It's under adjustment now.
This is just a picture to show it can and has been done.

Sweet! Great job Privateer.

Will it be necessary for an exhaust mod for each Uboat type? I believe the answer would be yes but figured it would better to ask.

I think it looks great as is anyway.

Each sub would need to be modded.
The demo Sub has the exhaust inserted in the sub itself.
To do all Subs it would be best to place the exhaust in the particals.dat
then mod each sub to call it.
It could also be setup so editing the eqp file would allow it to be turned on or off.
With the demo Sub, I've not seen any FPS hit so it seems good.

Perhaps a slightly blue-ish tint to the smoke as it's diesel.

bert8for3 · 04-19-07, 09:37 AM

Not that I'm an expert

in diesel smoke colour, but I think blue, or at least too much blue, indicates engine problems. See this: http://www.freeautoadvice.com/diesel/smoke.html and http://www.neptuneproducts.co.nz/sho...PFZ2wiI#colour . And this in particular on marine diesels: http://www.oceanmarineservices.com/D...ne%20Smoke.htm , which suggests that a faint grey/white might be the colour, at least if the engine is working right.
edit: So meant to finish by saying that I agree, just a hint of blue.

Privateer, it looks so verdammt good!
This and the open hatch mod are 2 my graphic favourites for SH3, looking for the dl link and appreciate your fantastic work!

Generally, diesel engines will produce a lot of smoke when being throttled up to their working rpm...generally where they produce the most torque/hp/kw. But they will emit eflux when working under "load", such as "pulling", "running a generator".
I have been around a lot of diesel powerplants, but all were land based.

Looks good!

Seeing I'm an ex truckdriver, too blue or too black is a sign of problems. For ships and Uboats I can't really say. But I believe a faint smokey grey color would fit just right for this mod. It's your call tho Privateer.... do as you see fit and we'll still enjoy it.

Will the amount of smoke depend on the engine power? E.g. much more smoke at flank speed than at ahead slow?
