okay so what's the general concensus? Is the exhaust trail too long? too dark?

I`d be happy if you could make also version with much shorter smoke. Longer smoke can stay as different version for anyone who likes it but it`s just too long for my taste. I think 2 max 3 meters would be enough. Otherwise it`s great mod

I also vote for a shorter version. with the engines at temp and running well it would be a subtle amount and length of smoke. now if there was a way to link amounts to engine damage, that would be even more cool. darker and thicker as the damage rate goes up.

In my opinion the darkness/density of the smoke is spot on, but I think that shorter trails (a little over half current length) would be more realistic. Smoke from a well maintained diesel engine even the size of a u-boat's should dissipate pretty quickly.
P.S. Thank you for working on this TDW, your immense amount of effort to improve this sim is much appreciated by all. |

Edit: I don`t know if you seen this between 0:25-0:28 I think its speed is about 10 knots |

version 1.0.1 released. Major change was adjustment to exhaust smoke trail for all subs currently done. See post #1 for details.

Nice, thank you
Btw I noticed kinda weird thing. Since smoke direction is affected by wind direction, sometimes happens that smoke comes directly for coning tower. I don`t think watchmen like that very much . Would it be possible to make smoke less wind dependant and more U-boat heading dependant? |

I was thinking making it more dependant at higher speeds like 10+ knots. It`s kinda funny when you are heading at 18 knots, wind speed is at 1 m/s and exhaust smoke still overpass you... Edit: I was thinking about this, it still moves a bit left right when the steer but not forward unless they brake or slow down. Last edited by Kromus; 04-03-10 at 06:41 PM. |

Maybe 70-30 advantage to the wind...?
