is it my setup? (possible) Do you have that white smoke at night too? Looks strange to me...

this one is the bridge of a type VII sub. Whats wrong here? :-j
I did make a test with a vanilla install, it´s there too.
I didn´t noticed that one so far as i´m no type VII skipper. But next career (im still in 1940, so no hurry) i´d like to play the entire war with type 7 subs.
I don´t use external camera, so i´m on the bridge very often.
for me that would be a major immersion killer. :(




Can there something be done to solve that issue with the dial?
Did you have that white smoke too? it doesn´t hurt my eyes that hard, but a fix would be great.

You have a Nvidia 5200 card, correct? That card has the issue with the white smoke. You have to aim the camera at the sun, and then tab+ alt, and re-enter the game. Its the only workaround.

Looking at your posted pics, I see this too; the mini compass-dial (on the bridge console) shifts out of position a bit. The last 2 VII skins showed the same problem, although the gauge is lined-up properly during the first days of a patrol.

I'll watch more closely next patrol, to see if anything might cause the problem (being hit by a cannon??) :)

Also see white smoke from factory smokestacks, other times it's black smoke.

hehe, good one about the new pope, fenian :P

@Soviet Warlord no X800XL here. I guess the smoke looks like i posted with all drivers from 5.1 to 5.8 (current). But ´ll try that nvidia workaround...But the smoke in general is ok (ships) and it would be hard to look into the sun. The screenie was taken at nighttime :)

So does anyone have the smoke black at nighttime? I´d like to see a screenshot.

I´ll do some more testing today with a fresh OS install (i wrecked mine yesterday)

I had believed the smoke was normaly that colour on the harbors !

Anyway, not a real issue to be honest.

There's nothing wrong with the smoke - its a design decision I believe.

Anyway Ailantd's particle mod changes that.

Thx for the info oRGy! :up:
