Some MOD questions

[Kretschmer the IV]

Hi Folks,

i have a question about my mods currently using.

1. Somehow the distance shown in the map view at the bottom left is wrong:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jx5rfsiooqt97r3/sh5%202013-11-23%2013-00-03-84.jpg

2. When sighting ships i see no chimney smoke on them. :06: Destroyers have a little almost no smoke - i guess the run on diesel. But the Freighters have no smoke. I will add a screenshot if necessary.

3. I used the SH5Lifeboats_by_Rongel_TDW_stoianm_v2.1. Is it safe to activate, because it reports a bunch of conflicts with the OH mod. Are there any alternatives to this lifeboat mod?

Thanks for any help fellas!

So far!
Ahoi!

im not "up to date" with sh5 but AFAIK the smoke is shared by warships and merchants alike so if the merchants have good smoke the warships are unrealisticly dark smoke.

warships "adjust" so they put out as little smoke as possible to stay unseen where merchants cant help it so AFAIK every time you try to change it there just isn't a way to get a good balance.

with sh4 I think there was someone trying to give the ships their own smoke so merchants could be seen but not warships (as it should be) but im not sure if that project worked or where it ended up. if it worked out maybe something could be looked into for sh5 and see if it could be done
