Water streams + exhaust combi mod,compatible with GWX3?

Paul Riley · 03-23-10, 04:43 AM

I have been after an exhaust mod for a while now and came up with this apparent gem using the search function.I was wondering,is it fully compatible with GWX3?

Works great and IS compatible with GWX, I been using it for ages now

p.s. The order that you install/enable your mods is kinda important too.

Paul Riley · 03-23-10, 04:53 AM

I have read its important to enable the single exhaust AFTER the main mod itself?
Anyway,thanks for your confirmation

KL-alfman · 03-23-10, 04:54 AM

yes, it works fine with GWX!
and I always installed the super-mod immediately after the clean install of SH3 (patched)

Cant wait to see the exhaust smoke coming out of my UBoat,although that will be on my next patrol

Paul Riley · 03-23-10, 05:57 AM

I have a small concern with the exhaust element of the mod.Would this increase the chances of being spotted in the distance due to the smoke trail behind the UBoat? does the mod alter settings to incorporate this?
In real life I imagine the problem being even worse with the schnorkel,for even though the UBoat would be submerged using its diesels it would still be throwing black smoke out,potentially giving its position away to the enemy?

Grim Nigel · 03-23-10, 06:09 AM

As far as I know, and I could be wrong, but sub diesels didnt generate a lot of smoke. A thread on here some months back covered the subject, I have no idea how to find it though but I'm sure it was more a feint blue-ish cloud that dissipated fairly quickly.

The mod doesnt affect your ability to be spotted as far as I know. Its just a cosmetic thing, but well worth using for the eye-candy aspect

A boat running with a Schnorkel is more likely to be found by its wake or just the Schnorkel sticking out of the water anyway. Late radar could detect a scope sticking out the water.

I could be incorrect though but I'm sure someone will come along with actual facts at some point.

Paul Riley · 03-23-10, 06:13 AM

Can you post a screen of the exhaust smoke in action?

Grim Nigel · 03-23-10, 06:16 AM

No problem, I'll get one sorted in a bit, I've just found a lone british merchant and its asking me to send it to the bottom of the sea

Paul Riley · 03-23-10, 07:02 AM

Look forward to it.Will check it out tonight sometime

Grim Nigel · 03-23-10, 07:10 AM

Was difficult to find a view where the exhaust could easily be seen, its quite feint when viewed from the side.

I love this mod! You know you'll also get the waterstreams out of the vents in the outer hull, in addition to diesel exhaust. It looks very cool.

KL-alfman · 03-23-10, 08:08 AM

you are right!
it's a great mod, I like it very much and can't imagine playing without anyway.

maillemaker · 03-23-10, 09:40 AM

I saw a youtube video that had the vent water, and wondered how it was done.

Makes me wish I used external cam.

Looks fantastic,cheers Grim Nigel
