mrzippy Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Are we talkin' about the engine startup smoke? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgibson_new Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 The engine locations are listed in the General Engine section of the plane's aircraft.cfg file. You can try editing those. Backup first.

pilotposer Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hello, Yes Mr. Zippy, the issue is with the startup smoke. It appears in the front and rear of the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hello, Yes Mr. Zippy, the issue is with the startup smoke. It appears in the front and rear of the plane. I just tried mine in FSX and it seemed OK. Maybe a wind condition? Any chance of a quick screenshot showing the problem? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

Downwind66 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) pilotposer - I don't have the Lockheed Lodestar loaded, but, check the lights section of the aircraft.cfg, maybe the last entry, sometimes developers stick the engine smoke entry there. If it is there you can "silence it out" by adding a // to the front end of the line entry! I have just recently had to do 2 of my most recent downloads, and I found the smoke entry there!

Downwind66 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Yes, I know it sounds strange, and I would be the first to check the "effects" section of the aircraft.cfg file. Then, these 2 recent downloads came along, and I found the smoke in the lights section. So now, I guess I will have to look in both places! That is one nice looking Lockheed Lodestar! I like the blue on white paint and they way they did the striping, very nice indeed! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotposer Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 After downloading the Lodestar again I replaced the [smoke system] section in the air cfg. with the newly downloaded [smoke system] section. The result is a nice startup smoke and the wayward smoke is gone. Works for me. Andre Reimers produced the beautiful texture seen in my screen shot. Thanks all for your help.
