Gents,
I decided to come back to Silent Hunter 5 after 6 years. I installed the mod with no problems, but there are two thing that makes me not 100% happy of the playing. Both of them happen in the same historical mission "The new merchant fleet":
1. There is no damage on the vessel after the torpedo hits. "3D ship damage" option either ON/OFF doesn't help. As I understand, this models were imported in the game by modders (so should be some limitations), but at least 2D damage should work, right? Strangly enough, in the mission where "stock" ships are used, only 3D damage works. If I switch it OFF, no damage is shown at all.
2. The smokes (both from the ship engines and fires due to damage) disappear at some distances, when the external camera is used. And in weird way: when you are close to the ships, you can see the smokes, you are getting far away they disappear suddenly, but if you continue to move away they start being rendered again. The "no-render" distance is very narrow actually, no reason for that. So it is definitely a bug. I have all graphical settings on Max. The video of the bug "in action":
