Maybe you know?
As I see it, GlobalScaleFar distance is the maximum distance at which the low definition effect is visible; GlobalScale is the same, but for full resolution. Density and opacity scales might play a role too.

Unfortunately I tried both ways (GlobalScaleFar and GlobalScale) and no luck so far.. I had set the same values as in particles.dat (stock effects).. nothing.. if I set the stock effects to the torpedoes .sim, everything is OK and I can see water splash in a 1 km and further.. TDW's water splash I can see only in a 200-300 meters..
Maybe TDW someday could find a couple minutes and will fix this issue

I agree, but i couldn't wait that's why i found this little turn around...
I really enjoy to see huge water splash each torp hit!

yes, if they are set too low and the effect itself is not big enough, you will hardly notice it at far distance.
Not saying that this is the actual problem with Fx Updates, but tweaking those two parameters might be worth a quick test

I finally figured out what's wrong ..
I/we can't edit TDW's files in Goblin.. they are saved incorrectly and don't work (after my edit) at all.. I can only open up them but not edit..

EDIT: So, only TDW be able to find a couple of minutes and fix this issue and help us all..
any other thoughts, Gabriele? S3D doesn't open these files.. even with new files which you sent me earlier..

I was going to ask you how you had managed to save your changes
