Hi,

I'm new to the forum :D

My question is,
Can someone make new smoke for the Boeing F/A-18A Hornet?

If it is possible, I wan't red smoke..
or can you tell me how to do it? Because white smoke is so... boring...

Grtz,
Jelmer

If you are talking about the smoke-system (I-key) then there's a simple way to change the color - if you've got the right effect. I'll upload a red one here (bottom of the page)...

Take a look at the aircraft.cfg of the hornet. You should find a section called [smokesystem].

If you've got the right effects you could add them to the quoted section; messing with the first three numbers will move the contactpoint in x-, y- and z-direction... I e.g. use red (left wing) and white smoke (right wing) with my Su-47  ;)

Is this for FS2004 or FSX?

I guess FSX - at least he didn't complain about my *.fx-effects-file  ;D

I'd like to know how to change the colors, too, btw...  ;)







edit: FSX! Look below his avatar...  ;)

I allready know ow to make colors myself :d

And I didnt use you red, because I alleady had that one :d

And now I have made green, blue and yellow :D and I know how to make colors now, it's very simple actually..

You have Red,Green,Blue,transparacy..

So if you have 250,0,0,150 you have red smoke :d

It's really easy,, I use paint to find the right colors XD
