Not too much smoke with timetabled speeds.

That is because you set the timetabled speed equal to the vehicles top speed. When you set the timetabled speed lower it does create too much smoke. Just tested it with the latest nightly (r24017).

Top speed of the engine used in Train 1 (the one with the speed limit) is 115 km/h.

You are right, found the problem. At low speeds, the train doesn't get very far between two smoke generations, thus it looks like there is too much smoke at low speeds. When using higher speeds, the train travels further, thus the smoke is further apart.

I see too much smoke with timetables too - if the train isn't accelerating, there should only be as much as when it's running at full speed. Otherwise, it makes no sense.

There is exactly as much smoke as a train makes which top speed is equal to the timetabled speed.

That's exactly what doesn't make sense. If the engine can reach 115, it doesn't have to work too hard to maintain 50, and therefore should not show more smoke in this case than when at full speed.

Acceleration in OpenTTD is simplified. There is no concept of how much power is required, thus maximum power is always applied when not slowing down. Speed is then capped to the limit.

Still inconsistent for bridges (realistic smoke amount).

Fixed the flyspray links in the Details. Also, you seem to want a more fine grained system for controlling the amount of smoke; that sounds like a feature request rather than a bug.

If a train doing 32 km/h smokes twice as much on a bridge as on normal track, I'd call that a bug. As for the rest, yes, more or less a feature request.

Is this topic about whether an idle running engine shall produce a fixed amount of smoke per time vs. a fixed amount of smoke per distance?
