But the rendering is very slow and it could take hours to upload. Can I render my entry without smoke (off) in the settings?

I agree. In addition to that when much fireworks explode at the same moment the smoke becomes to dark and ruins the show.

Alr we will remove the rule (rule 5) of using smoke but if you use smoke you get 5 extra points pure because we created this competition based on realism

It is to prevent users to have a old version of FWsim, if you have bassic, creative, hobbyist or pro then it is all fine
