Okay well I have two thunderbird airplanes. One has a good texture one has a bad. They both use the same model. The bad one has a smoke effect and the good one doesent. How do I convert them over if its the same model?

Thanks 8-)

In some cases the smoke effect is added by putting lines in the aircraft cfg file. I suggest you look at the two files you should see a differance the lines added are usually in the LIGHTS section. If the models are the exact same try swapping aircraft cfg files and see what happens. 8-)

Okay well in the Aircraft.cfg it was under the lights section and in smoke system. I copied it and pasted it but it dint show up  :-/. Should I copy all that aircraft.cfg but the texture or will that mess up the plane?
