Too much smoke!

jerm138 · 12-31-09, 04:53 PM

I decided to start trying some mods today. First off, the Generic Mod Enabler is AWESOME! I wish I had a tool like that when I was into Flight Sim.

Anyway, I've tried 2 so far and really like both of them; Real Environment, and NSM4 Classic (to make the ships sink a lot slower.)

After installing NSM4, I set up a tanker to shoot at to try it out. I really liked the slow, realistic-looking sinking. The stock sinking just looks silly it's so quick.

The only problem I have is that during the lengthy sinking, a huge column of smoke builds up a mile or so into the air. While it looks really cool, it drops my framerates into the single digits when I look at it.

I can't tell which addon is causing it, but I'd prefer to keep both of them anyway.

Does anybody know where there is some sort of config file that I can edit to limit the amount of smoke buildup?

Get Trigger Maru 1.9 with RSRD or you're just cheating yourself. Do it and do it now.

Downloading Trigger Maru 1.9 now. What is RSRD? A seperate addon?

I assume I just use the Generic Mod Enable to disable the other mods I have, then enable Trigger Maru 1.9.

I really like the look of Real Environment... hopefully TMO has a similar look.

The look of TMO is really breathtaking. Make sure you also get the patch. RSRD is a rework of the scripted campaign. There are several different versions of it, make sure you get the one made to work with TMO. Happy hunting!

What patch? I didn't see that on the download page.

Thanks!

At the very bottom of the first post in the Trigger Maru thread, it says this:

Actually it truly is Generic. It works with any game, any time, anywhere.

RSRD is the Run Silent, Run Deep campaign. As said, there are different versions to work with different supermods, but for all one thing is the same: the convoy, task force and single ship movements have been restructured to reflect the way they really did it.

About the smoke, I don't know. I can only run SH4 with every single graphic option turned off.

With regards to the smoke, I think turning down the particle setting is what does the trick. Could be wrong though.
