Smoke gets in your eyes.

Post by eyore »

Gary Soden mentioned in the update post that the smoke appears to be changeable with the weather, which he and I later confirmed.

Here's a couple of pics showing some of the variation.

Overcast rain



Cloudy

Hi,
The smoke particles are affected by the direction of the wind.
The wind changes with the weather pattern.

Does this change affect stationary steam and diesel locos?

I must spend less time modelling and more time playing. :D

The smoke not glowing in the dark is new though, isn't it?

I always maintained that complete documentation would be the biggest bugfix ever. Unfortunately, such complete documentation will be hard to communicate. But once it is there in any form, people (3rd party volunteers) might be more motivated to write tutorials.

It will not help against hard problems with AI, but knowing where the limits are really helps (e.g., no coupling without instruction -- not nice but good to know, better avoid it and have no crashes).

On a positive note, you could (if someone had time) run a "Did you know that ..." feature on your site. Several programs have this "tip of the day" feature. Not sure how useful it is, it mainly depends on how interesting the features are. The problem is that you need time to do it good. So the precondition for the plan is not fulfilled.

Had noticed the wind direction in the weather xml schema but never actually noticed it in action.
