D15: Exhaust smoke/vapor doesn't emit correctly out "side pipes" muffler option

Hello,

I happened to go into a map, where the modder set the temperature below 15°C (59°F); the Gavril D-15 default pickup truck blowing water vapor out the stock single, right sideways facing exhaust pipe-- under the tailgate. Out of pure curiosity, I changed up the muffler arrangements (since I could see the vapor, why not?) just to see what it would do. That's when I noticed the issue with the side pipes muffler option on the default vehicle.

Being a mod map, I made sure that wasn't the problem, disabled all my mods, and just set the East Coast USA map down to 0°C / 32°F, to get the vapor going in the cold air.

Repeated my steps with all mods deactivated, and I replicated the issue. The D-15 Pickup blows the vapor out the proper direction (i.e.-- through the pipes that are visually displayed) in stock pipe, sport pipes (dual out the back), and empty (straight out the back of the exhaust-manifold under the truck). But with side pipes, the exhaust comes straight out the back of the manifold (right side only)-- as if there was an exhaust leak at the headend of the right-side pipe.

I accidentally fell upon this, this past week, opening the default pickup on a map with a low temperature.
Before that, I had no idea the vehicles in BeamNG even emitted vapor from the exhausts in cold weather!

I only tested it on the Gavril D-15 variant, I suppose it could be with other Gavril variants, or even other vehicles with exhaust/muffler modification options, as well.

I'm just curious if this is a known issue already, or you weren't aware of it, and that this might be a good thing to know for the next hotfix and/or version of the game.

Thank you for your time.

 

Hi,
Nope I did not. Thank you for pointing that out. I never saw that as an option, but that sure makes a lot of sense. I’ll check it out and then I’m sure it’s going to work just fine.
