[REQ] "Slower" Smoke
 

Hi !
Is it possible to tweak down the animation speed of the smoke effects of burning ships and oil ? I mean it looks great (though it could be darker) but even at low wind speeds it spreads out quite unrealistic fast.

I beg you guys capable of doing something about it, to have a look at this please. :up:

Regards,

Agree

IMO this is the single ugliest thing in the game. Seastate is SO out of sync with the windspeed implied by this. To make it even worse, you can side by side compare damage smoke and ship stack smoke - one is horizontal, the other vertical.

+3 on that.

Mast

Ditto.

Though I've go a feeling it's a bug.

Not really a bug, just a poorly implemented feature. Still beats the smoke from SH3 though....sorta.

Being that it's probable all in the particals.dat
All someone needs do is adjust it.

Compare values and set them closer to each other.

Grossly absolutely no.

It looks fine. but disconnected to everything else going on around it. Fake, faux, cartoonish, poorly executed.

THat said, I would rather they concentrate on important things. We can always mod the smoke out - which would be an improvement.

Well...on less than windy days I think it looks better. Looks better....doesn't blow nicely or look like a big billowing cloud...but none the less, I like it better

Are we playing the same game ? The smoke is horizontal regardless of windspeed - 0 knots wind or 15 knots wind.

Anyway, I'm glad you like it, but I'm -really- shocked anyone does.

Always bothered me that the smoke looked as though the windspeed was 200+ mph

The actual particals look alright but the stupid animation is retarded.
