twistking Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 The castle class boats produce a large amount of smoke. For me it seems excessive for two relatively small diesel engines from the 80s. In fact, i would have expected them to have no visible smoke at all when cruising. I think the Leander-class were oil-fired, so smoke seems reasonable. In DCS the castle-class however produces thicker smoke than the leander-class, which just seems wrong. Is this the right place to report problems with the assets, or should these go in the main dcs bug section to object bugs? 2 My personal wishlist after half a decade with DCS: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/184968-my-personal-wishlist-after-half-a-decade-with-dcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Agreed, though to be honest it goes for pretty much all of them: Here's an image of Leeds Castle underway, I can't see any smoke at all: Here a small amount of smoke is visible: While the Leanders are indeed oil fired, they don't seem to produce visible smoke either (here is Ariadne): Here's Achilles: The Invincible-class is COGAG, again very little smoke: Though depending on weather conditions/throttle settings, it can appear more smoky (but not the thick black stuff we see in DCS, EDIT: This might be running diesel generators as the ship appears stopped): These the show it underway: Edited November 8, 2023 by Northstar98 Updated 2 Modules I own: F-14A/B, Mi-24P, AV-8B N/A, AJS 37, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

twistking Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Hot Take: Since in DCS the smoke cannot change depending on state of the vessel (anchoring, accelerating, cruising, full speed), it may be best to make it more like the other ships in DCS (can't remember if the diesel and gas turbine powered ships don't smoke at all or only smoke very faintly) and leave the dark smoke for the Kuznetzov... Holy Cow!
