Looking for a thin white smoke effect

[hsv]

Hi all

 

Im looking for a thin white smoke effect to add to one of my aircraft. The default one is to thick for that I am trying to achieve and wondering if anyone knows of one that I could download either as a separate file or already in aircraft that I could place in the effects folder and put in my aircraft cfg

 

 

Cheers

Some years back I found a way to adjust the smoke effects in FSX. It's possible to change the color, thickness, and duration. Unfortunately, I don't remember what I used to do it.

 

With a little digging I found a program called FXEditor here: https://www.scenerydesign.org/development-releases/. It allows you to adjust effects in Flight Sim versions up to P3Dv5, and comes with a (brief) manual.

 

As always, back up your files before tinkering. Have fun!

Now that's a pretty handy tool there! Complete with visual representation before deployment! I used to hand edit the files in the past and fire up the Sim, watch the effect and redo. Rinse and repeat. I really should have just employed Cheech and Chong though...

Edit-

 

When I made my own personal Area-51 I had shooting stars fire off upon landing that made for a spectacular view mimicking that of the old TV show Under The Dome. It was actually during this TV show's airing that I was making my Area-51 project.
