Smoke

[paul26may]

The smoke effects in the HJG aircraft appears less realistic than that in Dave Maltby's British jets. Is it possible to employ these in the HJG 707's DC8's etc?

Hi Paul,

Yep its very easy, just change the name of the effect in the aircraft.cfg from what ever it is currently to the one you want and save the file. then restart the sim. (I'm assuming your on FS9?)

[paul26may]

Thanks for that Ben. But can I use the VC10 file for a 707 or will I have to do some jiggerypokery?

[TSR2]

The file just refferences the effect, so you just tell the cfg file which effect to use, no jiggery pokkery necessary ;-)

[paul26may]

Done! I did have to change some numbers though. However I have cracked it I think. Thanks again, Ben.

You should only have had to change the numbers if your using FSX as far as i know :think:

Hi Paul
The HJG smoke effects are a bit heavy on purpose to simulate the early water injected jets etc, but glad your sorted now

Hi tony
I just wanted to tell you I tried the last line of your signature line "take a hammer to it"

tried that once on a PC, Walked up to it and held out the Hammer and said

"your gonna get it now"!!!!

you know what? the DVD drive door opened up and schwallowed it right up .....SLAM!

...... damn trojen b@$^&D!!

clawing with fingers :@

Hello Tony and Ben,

The reason I found that I had to change the numbers was because as I was using the VC10 smoke, when applied to the DC8 the smoke was coming out the tail!
Anyhow, is there any way I can make the smoke a bit thicker?

Hmmm in the SMOKE header the refrence points for long lat vert will already be there. All you have to do is substitute the fx name and leave the reference points alone...unless I've missed something here?
