Why not tie it to the tachometer, or even to the screws (If it has to be external)?:hmm: Those are the parts that better represent the current rpm of the engine. You could even tie cavitation underwater to greater smoke on the surface. Sorry if suggesting idiotic things, I'm really not very familiar with modding such things in Sh3:88)

Any chance of getting a 'preview' download of this?

Ever since seeing the first screenshot, my regular Sh3 patrols just feel...so much more lifeless!

While I was driveing to Alabama,
I was thinking about a few things I want to checkout.
So sometime between here and Texas in the next week,
I'll try to get something out.
Not sure if it will be one Sub or many yet.
Depends on a few tests yet.

why so much time on the road?

sounds like you will be coming through my neck of the woods on I-20 soon? :up:

Nice work:up:

ok privateer this link will be the end of your exhaust research.

in this painting entitled "the hunted" a u-boat is really pouring the coals to it in persuit of a merchant

It's an "artist impression":lol:

aye but an accurate one i might say.

I would imagine that when you first fire up those big diesels and pour the coals to them that might be the scale of the smoke you would see even if it did only last a few seconds.

Get this done quick so i can stop smoking while playin just for the sake of realism

What are you smoking, to make it realistic?:rotfl:

Our business takes us all over the North American Continent!!
Alaska to Puerto Rico last year!

And if your on the way to Bay City, I'll pass thru!!
On my way to El Paso.

If you insist, any cigarette will do just dip it slightly in diesel fuel:|\\.

Hey, wonderful work being done here. I have been gone since the release of SH4. A year ago or so ...maybe much longer...I sugested that we explore this issue. I also posted some photos of U-boats that had the smoke clearly visible. The "whiteish" smoke would be a wonderful add-on. Would it be possible to look in this forum for those photos or would they have been deleted since it was so long ago?

Looking good. I'd use it. I agree it might be a tad too dark but having seen diesel smoke its not too far from right.

Any news on how this mod is progressing,really hoping and looking forward to it:yep:
