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

THX for your help again
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 .

Hello
I have now updated to version Keldunks_RFB.1.52_tweaksV2
should work better with Winrar, original wersion should work better
with 7-zip, no "double folder problem I hope".
Also screenshoot now on first post.

It works great for me! I didn't pay any attention to the exhaust smoke, but the water streams are much better than stock!

One of the things I find interesting is that Rubini's Water Streams for SH3 actually look better than the SH4 ones, and that they only appear for a bit after the selected holes have actually dipped under the water, which means that in calm water you don't get them at all; whereas SH4's seem to be 'on' all the time. Yours are better in this respect - both in being lighter and more realistic, and they don't seem to have water running out of them every second.

I'd still like to see them look even more natural, but I think people have only begun to scratch the surface on this. In your case, though, it's a deep scratch. Good job!

THX for downloading my tweaks. True there is a lot more to do with
water streams and exhausts also. I have some ideas for improvement for
next release. but as I have to change dat files for every sub and every water stream node (there are about 40+ per sub) it takes time

[tonschk]

Thank you for the new improved version of your mod

[Vikinger]

Works greate for me also
Thank you for this

But i want the smoke to be a little bit more visible :P But that is just a personal view/taste.

Just downloaded and installed! All I could say is...

Any chance of you doing this for TMO?

Will your current version work?

I have not testet it with TMO but as it changes only sub dat file, it should
work with TMO I hope, if you test it with TMO please report results.
To Fish40 THX .

I agree , may I suggest a bit more of smoke and a bit more of steam , thank you very much

[Captain von Keldunk]

Hello
"may I suggest a bit more of smoke and a bit more of steam"
I am working a new verison, Balao is ready and tomorrow I will do rest of the subs. Shoud be more smoke and water stream timing is better I hope.

[Captain von Keldunk]

Hello
My final version is out now
I have now tweaked water streams and diesel exhausts of US subs as much as I want. Shoud also work with Stock and other "supermods" I hope .

thank you , download at once

I got a problem , if I install this mod last with JSGME after " Historical Prop Rotation " this mod will work but " Historical Prop Rotation " dont work anymore , if I install " Historical Prop Rotation " last after " RFB 1.52 tweaks, water streams and diesel exhaust " Historical Prop Rotation will work but this " RFB 1.52 tweaks, water streams and diesel exhaust " dont work anymore , therefore I must choose only one of them
