I checked the files in Thomsen's mod: No Instant Death

It is the only mod that I use that has .zon files! The file that affects me would be his NSS_Uboat7b.zon since I'm using a type 7b boat.

Ok just done a test using standard GWX 2.1 files with VIIC, tested using the following:
data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7c\ all files
data\Library\ Particles.dat, Particles.dsd, Materials.dat the 3 Shells files
Problem is still there!

The deeper you go the higher that cloud seems to go!

I have understood nothing in your replies, but ...
i think speech about old graphics engine (particles system) problem ...
in other words water reflection artefacts ...? :hmm:

P.S.
It happens not always (so obviously and brightly), but with all ships, planes and subs ...

Sorry I'm really not understanding what you mean Anvart, you mention water reflection artifacts, could you point to a file?

Look abouve (cyan) ...
Maybe i have not correctly understood you ...

P.S.
You can try to reduce water reflection ... maybe only for concrete object (or particles) ...

Well Im not sure which file you mean, but I tried the same test above as in post #12 using GWX 1.03 files instead & the problem is gone! I still get good texture & smoke but disappears after a short period & altogether when I dive, later when I surface only the scortched texture is there.

All I have to do now is nail it down to a the actual file causing it!

Edit: OK, it's the Submarine files, 1.03 run ok, 2.1 have the texture problem, knowing this has anyone any ideas as to the differences between the 2 versions?

I have finally traced it to the NSS_Uboat7c.dat file, the GWX 2.1 causes the problem, I have probably got a mixup of file versions, does anyone know what other files are attached to this one that may cause the problem?

Thanks.
