I've just installed Delblond Christian's Tortol.zip ("Terrance B.Lettsome International Airport of Tortola Island for FS2004") & see the wake of one cruise liner is in a long greyish oblong stuck out behind the ship.  Removing the texture just leaves a white shape.
I suspect I'm stuck with it unless someone can tell me what or if the remedy is.  I have tried removing the ship's bgl & both liners vanish of course.  I can't ask Mr Christian as he gives no email address.

Thanks,

One way to address this is to repaint the texture.bmp 100% black.

Hello.  I can view it with Windows Photo Gallery.  How will painting it black help?   Would a blue colour be better assuming I can do it with MS Paint that is!!!?

IF you can remove the wake altogether (assuming it is not built into the model) then it would easy enough to add a far more realistic "animated" wake.

An illustrated tutorial describing how to do that is named weffect.zip. There is a very small update to that tutorial also.

I am not sure if the two files are in the library here.

I just installed the scenery and it appears the wake cannot be "divorced" from the ship. That bad wake effect certainly detracts from an otherwise very nice piece of work.

I can easily remove the ship and replace it with another one with an "animated" wake if you are interested.

Just send me a regular e-mail with your address and I will work up the necessary files and some simple instructions.

Good morning Dave.   I'll email you.  We corresponded some time ago over Penticton helicopters & Flight1 HeliTraffic......
the wake is easily removed just by taking the wake texture out but an animated wake would be great

File is on the way to you -

Brilliant.  Looks a treat once I deleted the funnel smoke  8-)

THANK YOU.
