I believe that the 66.77 (or was it 61.77?) drivers fix the white smoke issue (Sorry if I didn't get the driver name, I bought a new ATI x850xt video card a while back, and forgot about this nasty nvidia problem :P )

Not to highjack this thread but I have never used any other card (well since VooDoo went bust) than Nvidia and I never had a problem with "white smoke." or had to Alt-Tab out to correct. Did I miss something?

You can download it here: http://rapidshare.de/files/9505302/B...od1.1.rar.html

I played around with it a bit more and the hires version does indeed need alot of graphics card power. I tryed it on a large convoy and my old GeForce really had to struggle to keep up, so use at your own risk.
If you want to modify it to make it look better or run smoother please feel free to do so.

i hope you enjoy it,

The white smoke issue is only in Nvidia FX 5200 cards (I think)

...then I did miss something......the 5200 cards


BTW...did anyone ever host this smoke mod? The link to rapidshare is broken and I never received it via e-mail.

[SciFi25]

Nope, I never got a copy, if I had I would have posted a link for you guys to download it!

I dont intend to sound mean but i dont like it - its far too much smoke. I am an ex firefighter and it just dont look realistic. Too uniform in colour.

To me it just dont look right. Am i the only one who sees it that way?

Good work anyway. However i do reckon the GW mod needs more smoke - just not THAT much. And oil fires - which is primarily what would be burning on a ship is jet black in colour.

Please dont take this the wrong way mate. I do appreciate the time it takes for these things.

No, you're not. I removed it after one patrol because I also thought it was too much, especially as it adds smoke to the parked ships in the harbors. I'm using a smoke mod I found a long time ago, which increases the smoke but not by too much.

Just my opinion. I agree, the more mods the better for all concerned.
