Allen Craig Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 is there a way to stop the exhaust smoke effect at startup and when planes are switched? It is absurdly excessive, but I don't just want to lessen the effect, I would like to eliminate it, completely. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Engine startup smoke should be listed in the [Effects] section of the aircraft.cfg. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Craig Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 This is FS doing the effect Aircraft with no smoke effects in the aircraft cfg smoke All aircraft smoke upon startup Doesn't this happen in your system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, usually the engine startup smoke comes from the [Effects] area of the aircraft.cfg. Smoke from the [smokeSystem] comes from hitting the (I) key. If it's coming from the model then there's not much you can do for it. If it's something in the .air file, then you may be able to edit that. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

RCChopper Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 is there a way to stop the exhaust smoke effect at startup and when planes are switched? It is absurdly excessive, but I don't just want to lessen the effect, I would like to eliminate it, completely. Thanks for your help Many of these effects are not controlled by the smoke system but within the model or the sim itself. There may not be anything in the aircraft.cfg to change to control them. However, to stop it for all planes its a simple matter of removing the effects file that makes the smoke. Looking in my effects folder I see some likely candidates. fx_engstrt and fx_engsmoke and fx_engsmoke2. I would try moving them to a temp foder (don't delete in case you want them back). Start here, see if that does it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
