[REL] Sub Exhaust for SH5

[Capt Jack Harkness]

Strangely enough, after upgrading to 1.0.2 I no longer have exhaust smoke on my VIIC...

[kylania]

Just tested with a VIIC and VIIA and could see the exhaust from both. However, as I was using the UHS mod, my stern was nearly always underwater and that was causing the smoke to be extremely difficult to see. It was also super foggy and not a lot of light where I was too, but it was there. heh

I also use the UHS mod and the smoke is difficult to see when the sea is not calm. But in completly calm water the smoke is there.

Does the smoke 'rise' better now?

Ah, I kinda missed v1.0.1, thx for 1.0.2

Edit: I`ve just noticed strange thing. In testing exhaust mission I`m getting amazing smoke with everything working as it should in 1.0.2, but in historical missions I`m getting same smoke (much longer, thinner etc.) as in 1.0.0 ... No idea why and what could be the problem (maybe the windspeed 1 m/s vs 15 m/s), didn`t try it in campaign yet.

Hello there ,thank you , I am in the process of swapping the heatsink of my ASUS EAH5870 V2 with an Accelero S1 Rev 2 plus the addition of a extra heat sink for the voltage regulator modules , this VGA was reaching over 70 degrees celsius on load and I dont like that , later I will download and install the latest version of your excellent Smoke Mod

( For Silent Hunter 3/4 , I was using a 8800GT with such Accelero S1 heatsink , and the temps were always around 50 degrees celsius on load )

My previous screenshot with your first version of smoke mod were taken using such ASUS EAH 5870 at full/max resolution

are you experiencing this on an isolated sub or all subs? Here's something to try if you still have v1.0.2. Take the \data\Textures\TNormal\tex folder from v1.0.2 and paste in v1.0.3 and see what happens. Maybe your computer has problems with mipmaps contained in .dds files.

You did take the MODS folder from the mod and dropped it into your \Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\ folder right (meaning you didn't unzip the mod and take that first folder and place in your \Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS folder)?

Hi there , thank you for the answer , I never downloaded the second version " v1.0.2. " I just downloaded and enabled the first and/or the last version , I guess the last version of this exhaust mod is not included inside a single mission like was the first version and I think must work everywhere inside SH5 , I will try again the other SH5 single missions, but the best way to check out the exhaust mod is with a sunny day at around 9am to 4 pm , unfortunately the few single missions included in SH5 are usually full of the disgusting silly fog used by UBISOFT to hide the SH5 bugs

I checked a few single missions with the VIIA and VIIB , no smoke

[tonschk]

I think I have found the reason , I clicked on the folder I installed inside the MODS folder and was another mod folder with inside the actual exhaust mod , I will install inside the MODS folder the actual exhaust mod , let me try this way

OK now is working but the exhaust is tilted 40 degrees from the sub , is this normal ?
