[REL] Enhanced Funnel Smoke SH5
Hi guys!
This is my attempt to get real funnel smoke and to improve the stock funnel smoke, which hardly exists. So far I created 6 type of funnel smokes. 1.Light escort funnel smoke 2.Diesel Engine Smoke 3.Coal Burner Smoke 4.Heavy Warship Smoke 5.Old coal burner warship smoke 6.Coastal vessel smoke (wrong ship here) Mod history: Version 1.2 2011-2-27 Added better smoke textures Made coal burner smoke more brown Added wind dependent smoke Version 1.1 2011-2-26 Reworked some funnel smokes to recognize the smoke better. Version 1.0 2010-3-25 Original release of the mod Download: Version1.0 Hoster1 Hoster2 Version1.2 Hoster1 Hoster2 Last edited by HanSolo78; 06-14-11 at 07:24 AM. Reason: Mod Release |

Looks nice! Any noticeable frame rate hit? I know fire can bring mine to a crawl, but smoke seems OK.
I made up a quick reference image if you wanted to use it. Last edited by kylania; 03-25-10 at 11:48 AM. |

Funnel smoke has been a major issue i think, i know AOTD addressed it in their mod, realism is a good thing, been able to spot funnel smoke from just over the horizon would make this even better and realistic of course, thanks Hans, look forward to your release.

Added 2 more versions.. 1. funnel smoke of old coal warships 2. funnel smoke of coastal vessels (wrong ship showing because of missing one in stock game) Improved coal burning smoke!

Good!
Now I need men who say me which vessel has which smoke type All I know... small/wide chimneys have diesel engines... tall/narrow chimneys have coal burning engines. |

Just as an FYI... the Clemson and Wickes class DDs were oil fired, not coal.

What changed in SH5 over SH4 that allowed diesel/coal smoke differentiation? I remember back in SH4 that it was "one size fits all."

That does not make much sense in my mind... vessels had different engine propulsions and did have different smoke types.
A big warship does not make that much smoke like coal burning merchants for example because of detection awareness. |
