What Smoke Effect?

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!

Well, I have just installed the new smoke and I must agree with Dave and calvert, much more realistic

Hi
Can I take it that this "New" smoke....is the steam replacement file
Or have I missed something.

Don't worry, Jon! You've not missed anything!

It's just the old "Replacement Steam" File!
