I love the enhanced funnel smoke, I am using 1.0 right now. I will wait till next version with the wind fix to get the updated version.
Keep up good work by the way!

I've been interested in ships for years, especially old North Atalantic Steamers. I've studied loads of photographs, and written articles, and even made 3D models for games.
I can tell you that in most of the photographs I have studied, when the smoke comes out the funnel, the wind catches it directly and blows it downwind in a direction derived from the wind component generated by the weather and the wind compenent generated by the foward speed of the ship. Rarely does it blow towards the stern.
In the 1860s there was a breed of ship that used both sail and propellors, and on the those the smoke nearly always as blowing over the bow - albeit slight to one side.
Han has it right.
