jetpilot14 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I am having a problem with the engine start-up smoke on ALL aircraft in FSX. No matter which aircraft I use, the engine will smoke excessively on startup for about 15 seconds or so. It is a long, dark smoke trail that heads straight rearward (I'll post screenshots when I'm back near my sim). No engine performance issues. Just annoying smoke. A thought I had is that I recently installed some classic airliners (DC-6, Connie, Electra). There's a chance that one of them had an effect file that replaced the default smoke with this new, 1960's radial engine smoke. I simply can't remember. The only method I had up my sleeve was to Reinstall/repair FSX and Acceleration. That didn't help. I'm a pilot...not a genius.... How can I get the old default startup smoke back? I believe the issue file is fx_engstrt.fx, but I'm not positive. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefpee Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 quite easy to get rid of it, just open up the aircraft.cfg file in notepad, scroll down to the [effects] heading and rem (//) out the at the beginning of the line for the fx_engstrt.fx entry. Hope that helps Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
