Hey guys does anyone else have Philippe Wallaert's B-52G downloaded from this site? I have it and everything is fine but i noticed there was some fixes for the alphaism creation that enable there to show smoke effects on that aircraft. I downloaded and installed it (even though there were no read me instructions on the fix) into the "effects" folder of fsx and nothing happened. I just want to connect with someone on here who also has this aircraft and get their input.
Thanks a bunch!

I do not have this aircraft but
Did you make an entry in the aircraft cfg file see example
[EFFECTS]
wake=fx_wake
water=fx_spray
dirt=fx_tchdrt
concrete=fx_sparks
touchdown=fx_tchdwn, 1

Without this entry nothing will happen
be sure to insert the correct names of the appropriate files
there may be an entry for smoke as well
perhaps
smoke=fx_smoke
but not sure

It would help to know where you downloaded this fix. (I can't find it on a search.) Then someone can download it & check it out for you.

Yes here are the two downloads that I have. One is the aircraft:

FSX Boeing B52G package (Category: FSX > Military)
Zip file preview
25.86Mb (11135 downloads)
This old lady (62 years!) is still in service and has no real competitor. The B52G was an evolution with the wing redesigned and new engines. Original model by Alphasim. Adaptation to FSX, VC modification, panels and gauges including GPWS callout by Philippe Wallaert. See readme.txt file for installation and configuration. Credit to Alphasim for the original and very nice aircraft.

And this the smoke fix add-on that I also downloaded:

Boeing B-52G and B-52H Stratofortress Package (Category: FSX > Military)
Zip file preview
15.43Mb (23479 downloads)
Alphasim freeware B-52 Stratofortress complete aircraft package. I have fixed the missing VC textures in FSX and engine smoke position. Added thumbnails and edited the Bare metal textures. Fixed a few gauge issues.
Sound fix

Do you even think the two are compatible?

Thanks,

I don't see why not as they both seem to be based on the Alphasim FS9 original. Probably a simple tweak. Some FS9 effects work differently in FSX.

I'll check this out later.

This one works "straight out of the box" for me. Press the I key for engine smoke.

Is this what you wanted?
