Maybe the maker could make the smog cooler

WARNING, already in the base game, do not download this.

i hope the maker of this made updates it to work in the newest version really like this mod

New player here. Is this already in the base game or do I have to install the mod yet? I'm not understanding correctly. A better description is needed

@CamelBarley & @SnakePlays

I love the mod but can you update the mod to the newest version please

Thank you

@McDewgle thank you for your answer it was so awesome mod it was made it more authenticate and realistic you could see a smoke on snorkel too

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This mod no longer works. DO NOT USE.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

@Mike, the author has stated numerous times that he will not update this mod. He is working on his own video game called Crush Depth which you can also find on Steam.

unfortunatelyis not working... pls.....fix it....

In the book Das Boote I seem to recall the Captain used diesel smoke at night to lay a smoke screen as he withdrew from vicinity of a destroyer. Is this, or could this, be modelled or too impractical?

@Marius, if you don't mind since it was yours original idea, I can have look how to improve b129 vanilla smoke with variable smoke volume considering the throttle and engine temperature.

The two methods would blend and complement each other very well if combined I feel. Smoke could be eliminated gradually through warming up per this method or cut completely via the Mechanic's skill.

Thanks @McDewgle. Diesel smoke is indeed a function of a number of variables. I haven't played UBoat in a long time so unfortunately I am not up to speed on how they've implemented their smoke.

TBF, I preferred this mod's method of diesel smoke over the one added in B129.

Diesel producing more smoke when cold vs warmed up was realistic and pretty cool.

This mod is probably obsolete, since B129 added in Diesel Smoke.

Has anyone made any attempts to port this over to B129? Since Marius doesn't have the time to

No

Is it working on unstable?

Good Luck with CrushDepth. Looking very ambitious. Still holding off a bit, but I will sure get it at some point soon.

Kompot, if you scroll down you'll see Marius response to that already.

Will you update to B129? and fix the temperature gauge ?

I would be happy to collaborate with the Devs if they wanted my help but I assume they've got everything covered. They know where to find me! www.CrushDepth.com

This would should be merged with the base game because currently in b129 its not very good

заметил баг, в показателях заметности пишет видимость дизельного дыма 58 даже когда они выключены, даже когда я на электро двигателях и под водой...

The engine temp indicator doesn't seem to work. Everything else looks to work as intended though.

The recent update looks like they are adding the smoke into B129 so this mod might not be needed anymore. Thanks Marius for all your hard work on this. Good luck with Crush Depth.

@maru I hope you've at least wishlisted Crush Depth if you want immersion + realism! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1530920/Crush_Depth_TechDemo/

That is sad to hear, this mod helps with immersion a lot. Really hope someone with the skills picks this up.

Sorry all. TLDR; all of my free time is dedicated to my own sim, Crush Depth

If anyone wants to help bring this mod up to date, please contact me and I can coordinate.I just don't see the point in spending any time on it at this point given how frequent updates to U-Boat break APIs and thus mods such as this.

@Mr.Nixon,
This mod has not been updated to work on b128.4. Also Living Uboat has not been updated in a while and is in fact a derivative of U-Boat Expanded (UBE)

Check out UBE or UBE lite instead.

Does not work with living Uboat, also disables time compression with b128 had to uninstall

Thanks man! This mod substantially increased my immersion in a way I had not imagined.

Disabled the mod, cleared the cash, reloaded. The engine temp gauge is gone...but the smoke penalty is still there. (mod was last in the mod list as I have seen some people state this like it had some bearing on getting the mod to work. Exited the game, and reloaded, with mod disabled and cache cleared. Issue persists, and it seems to infect saves. Damn. Such a good mod to have but it does break the game.

COnfirmed, even with the electrical motors chosen, and under water, and even in all stop, the diesel exhaust is still causing a 30% detection factor. Also...the heat meter is stuck full green. Major issue being aircraft and surface vessels are able to track your boat due to the smoke. Great mod otherwise.

I really liked this mod, good work man! Hope the devs can get it into the main game but... it did affect my framerate a little so unfortunately was best to remove it, oh well.

@Gashy,
When disabling a mod you must also delete your cache folder located here
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\LocalLow\Deep Water Studio\UBOAT\Cache

Bear in mind that some mods will be permanently embedded in your save file even after you delete your cache folder. I don't remember if Realistic Diesel Smoke is one such mod.

But any mod that requires you to start a new game will also have a lasting affect on that save file even after the cache folder is deleted.

I have diesel visibility permanantly on even when dived on electric engines. anyone know how to disable this? i have deleted the mod multiple times

Nothing yet for a fix?

As this doesn't seem to be updated anymore it would be great if the devs add this feature to the vanilla game.

It was compatible with B128 before the hotfixes. Something broke unfortunately and Marius has been busy with his Crush Depth project currently in Early Access. He's a brilliant programmer and designer.

I believe Marius has expressed a willingness to give his data for this mod to anyone who wants to carry the torch.

I assume this is not compatible with B128 based on the recent comments ?

Now its bugged, as engines never warm up they consume more fuel and make more smoke

Hell yeah! Lookig forward to your game.

update?

Same issue as weeble200
