How to delete smoke?

[tommyr1234]

Hello, well i have some k&l trains and they are great, but my computer cant seem to handle the smoke they make and was wondering how to replace/delete them?

I think you need to edit the config.txt file and search for smoke in effects section of the mesh-container. You can then alter the smoke rate or delete it if you want. I suggest that you make a copies of these assets before doing this in case something gets really messed up.

What Engines Do you have??I Might be of some help..

Turn down Particle Effects then they won't smoke ... If smoke is effecting framerates, I think you might need a better PC

Can't do that in modern versions of Trainz............ no Particle effects control.

I have a top end system and some of K&L steamers do that on mine, it is not the computer it is the gaming engine which is old!

Its K&L's PRR J1, CN n4a/b and NH f5

Bob: I think he's talking about the K&L engines.

To answer OP: Find your steamer in CMP, clone it, right click the clone > Edit in Explorer > open config.txt.
Find all instances of "rate" under the smoke0/smoke1/smoke2.. sections and replace that number with a zero. Commit the clone and you're good to go.

Cheerio,
Nicholas

What good is a steam locomotive, that does not smoke ?

True, very true they were made to smoke!!!

 

[nicky9499]

Seriously?

How about parked steam engines? Steam engines dead in tow? Steam engines on display? Steam engines in the workshop?
I even once made a steam engine stop smoking for a photo shoot so that I could more easily add in my own smoke in post.

I think the OP should just talk to Steve Lerro on the matter.
