Hi,
I was wondering, should I download and install the smoke update for steam locos from UKTS or keep with the normal MSTS one?

Surely this depends on if you want to or not ?

I think it looks better. Not sure if it affects frame rates at all so might not be worth it on mid range machines running routes like the SVR.

I am willing to use any, it is just I don't know which one is better

You'll just have to try it to find out. As long as you back up the original just in case, you've nothing to loose.

Personally, I think the newer update is MUCH more realistic than the original MSTS version! :D

Don't worry, Jon! You've not missed anything! :D
It's just the old "Replacement Steam" File!
