crazyeddie Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Check out one of the ED ship models to see how its done now. Older mods no longer have funnel smoke - that's a LOT of mods that are affected and I dont see an easy solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye60 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I second this report. No smoke appears on any mod ships. Or volcano's! This is unacceptable! Volcano's NEED smoke! "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 No ED ship has smoke at the moment. The issue is reported. 1 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyeddie Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 Many thanks Flappie, I hope they revert to the original way of doing it otherwise all ships mods are going to be 'no smoking' zones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Well to be honest, some of the affected ships shouldn't be producing smoke anyway, especially stuff that's powered by gas turbines. 1 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.

Yes, we have had that discussion and its appreciated many of the modern types produce very little if any smoke. Strangely enough I have served on a Brit type with gas turbines and when they flashed that thing up the sh*t coming out of the funnel had to be seen to be believed, but once it was up and running it was smokeless. Good point though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point though. Oh yes and don't get me wrong - you can find images (although sometimes not many) of gas turbine ships producing smoke (usually whispy, cloud-like stuff)but presumably this depends on throttle setting, ambient conditions and as you described, when starting. Of course none of that is accounted for in DCS - I just wanted to point out that probably 99% of the time a decent amount of ships in DCS should either be producing 0 or only a very small amount of smoke (even for oil fired ships).

Flappie Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Yes, I've read the other thread. I propose we get back to it once ED ships smoke returns. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
