Actually, because the smoke is more opaque than the stock smoke or TMO smoke, your performance may actually be better with it. According to one tester for my SH3 smoke mod from several years ago, it's opacity that causes a big performance hit, and not the detail level of the smoke .tga or .dds file.

I guess this new smoke is wind affected?

EDIT: after trying it, it seems other boats chemney smoke is changed too...it looks darker and more compact imo. Maybe slightly higher?

Nice Work Iambecome but i saw there some problems.
Small Fire uses the same Smoketexture.

I created this Smoke in a new way.
Only the smoke from Big Fire is affected and this smoke was generated with 3 Textures.
Here is my work.

With this kind of Smokegeneration you will also see the fireshining at the smoke´s base and the smoke disappears better and in a very fine way in the athmosphere.

@AOTD : what a pretty nice smoke effect, seems so realistic, bravo !!!

I would be very interested by such a smoke mod

Both look great!

Y'all should be ashamed. Setting real ships on fire just so you can photoshop it into SH4!

Seriously, those look great. Maybe I should fire up the game and give it another shot.

Cool, the smoke looks so real thanks for uploading!

As madmax said earlier, there seems to be an issue with the textures fading out unrealistically for smaller fires... Was there an updated version that fixed this?

Same request here. Maddy didn't publish his mod. I will investigate if it is included in FOTRS V2 (now only for SH4 1.4 and in German).
