Hi all

How to position correcly the default fx_engstrt effect on the aircraft.cfg :-/

or if i made my how fx_engstrt_pl8 for example how i position it whit the aircraft.cfg file

It's relatively easy,

Example:

smoke.0 = -1.72, -23.29, -45.66, fx_smoke_effect  =smoke.0 = X, Y, Z, fx_smoke_effect


Just change the values of X,Y,Z shown where the coordinates are to finalize your effects position.

ok but if you check in an aircraft.cfg the engstartup fx does have x,y,z and is not in the smoke section but in effect section ?


so if i change the smoke parametre in smoke section i will change the engstartup position in effect section also :-/

Sorry the X,Y,Z represent positions 'in design terms' '

X= is length position Positive variable for forward and negative for aft position.

Y= needs to be moved side to side - is left + number is right

Z= Height negative value means lower positive means higher.

I don't understand your second question, other then if it's another effect just add smoke.1 then smoke.2 etc.

I mean the enginstartup effect is in effect section like tire effect and rain effect whit no position parametre how i do to position it ?

Woodylepic,

What aircraft are you working with? Because it is in the effects section like the touchdown and other effects, I suspect that the effect is coded to use the coordinates of the engine. These are located in the

ok i will check that this week end (my power suply is broken im writing whit my laptop  thank for your help
