Well, i know what i have read in"Buchheim's" book + what I have seen so far from Privateer does look awesome. If it was 100% like that or not...well for me its also the excitement of actually getting it to work (in this case Privateer) that's sooo cool when you set out to do something and you actually get it to do what you want, that's the modding/motivation drug for ya, can't give it up!

I do believe there was some exhaust smoke at high speeds. I could have sworn ive read of skippers being concerned about exhuast smoke, even during night surface runs as they skimmed past escorts.

Yes, under typical cruise conditions visible smoke was undesirable and frowned upon, but even a gasoline car from the 70s would belch out visible exhaust at high throttle settings(passing while at freeway speeds)...or even a late 90s/early 00s city bus will belch smoke at high throttle(even here in environmentally conscious California).

I'd expect a low-ball government contracted diesel from the 40s to put out a little bit of smoke at high power settings.

I don't expect the Smoke to ever satisfy everyone, all the time.
And that's cool with me.
I expect people to adjust it to suit thier tastes and actually look forward
to that happening!
Once I get a bit more work done on it, I'll include a tweak file(s) for that very
reason.

Any news?
 

Hi Privateer,

Sorry to resurrect this one, but I was wondering if this ever got off the ground. It was looking promising...

Perhaps a more white smoke could be better, this can simulate better the mixture of sea water and fumes
