Apologies if this is the wrong forum but I was wondering. Recently I have been installing new smoke effects into the engines of some of my AI aircraft, problem is I can't find out the location of it in the number location, for the want of a better work (= 2, -55, -1.85, 0.0 for example) to install it in the correct place, is there any way to discover this without just manually trying and refining?
Sorry that sounds a bit confusing.

I would imagine that the placement would be the same regardless if it was AI or not, so if you have say a B737-300 AI and a flyable version as well I would think you could use the same smoke effect placement on both aircraft. But I have not really messed with it so I could be wrong But it sounds logical.

Not always the case as I suppose the different models have different reference points.
All I do is manual trial and error, so I'm not sure if there's another way.
