Thank you very much for the answer , a bit complicated S3D and I think I need to install RFB , do you think the only way to install you tweak for the water stream and the motor smoke is using S3D ? , thank you for the help

I have now tested my tweaks with stock sh4 1.5 and they work OK,
so no need to install RFB if you do not want to do so.
Download my tweaks from the link from my signature and install with
JSGME. Or from here http://hosted.filefront.com/CapVonKeldunk
"do you think the only way to install you tweak for the water stream and the motor smoke is using S3D " Did you not ask "please how to add the smoke to the subs ?" Not how to install my tweaks. As my command of english is not
so good use with me only simple language please.

Hello , thank you for the help , I downloaded and unzipped the " Keldunks_RFB.1.52_tweaks " this give me a file/folder named " Data " later I installed and enabled the " Data " file/folder into the JSGME utility , but was not possible to see any smoke coming from the subs like the smoke of the subs we saw in Silent Hunter 3 , do you think I have made a error/mistake installing the " Data " with JSGME ? , thank you for the help

Well iam sorry to say that the mod is not JSGME compatible. The author forgot to make the folder for the mod to put the data in

To make a jsgme file the path/folders should be like this:

Folder = Name_of_the_mod/Data/etc what ever the path is
So make a new folder whit any name you like and put the Data folder into that. And put that in the MODS folder and enable whit jsgme.

Btw to the author, is it possible for you to take a screenshoot of the modification?
Many people wud love to se a screenshoot of any mod before they download it and install it.

What data or no

Hello
I use 7-zip and when I unzip " Keldunks_RFB.1.52_tweaks "
I get " Keldunks_RFB.1.52_tweaks " folder and in it the "Data" folder
and readme. If you get only "Data" folder, then make a folder and name it " Keldunks_RFB.1.52_tweaks " and but "Data" folder there. and then enable " Keldunks_RFB.1.52_tweaks " with jsgme. Hope this helps

I also downloaded your file and when i unzippped it by using Winrar i just get the data folder and the readme file.

But there is different methods to unzip a file. If i just click the zipped file it opens up in a new window and from that i unzip. This method will only give me the Data folder. But this is the most standard method to use and this is also the way many modders use.

But if i right click the zip file and choose from the dropdown meny to unzip the file to Keldunks_RFB1.52_tweaks it will create the folder where the data will go

Many people dont know about this method

Wiith my 7-zip " just click the zipped file" method do not work, so I only use
"right click" method. I suppose if I had made my 7z file like I usually do
that is first made " Keldunks_RFB.1.52_tweaks " folder and then put Data + readme_ for_tweaks in it and zipped, it woud have worked like standard method for winrar . But then when I unzip that I get "double folders" problem. Looks like it is best to go back to my old method
and not to worry about "double folders".
Tweaks also change subs water streams life times 3sec, max Particle size 30 and flow angles. to look more natural .

Default Screenshoot

Here it is. My exhaust is not like Racerboys in SH3, I tweaked RFB files.
Some motor smoke and coolant water pumped out of exhaust pipe.
I used water stream nodes for coolant water, in loop mode 3 sec, sometimes it takes time for coolant water pump to start .
