I downloaded some add-on smoke for an extra (ar any plane for that matter I guess). It works great except the smoke comes out lined up red,white,blue vertically instead pf horizontally. Does anyone know what numbers to change in the following .cfg file to make it come out more realistic and in line with the wings instead of up and down??


[SMOKESYSTEM]
smoke.0=0.00, -0.70, -13.28, fx_smoke_sammy_long_red
smoke.1=0, 0, 0, fx_smoke_sammy_long_white
smoke.2=0, 0, 13.28, fx_smoke_sammy_long_blue

My guess is the numbers represent alignment somehow, but I messed around with them and got no where.

In addition, I changed all the numbers to "0" and the smoke comes out the same place, which is a cool effect red,wht,blue combined, but it would be cool for it to spread out down the wings in line

The + and - numbers represent the Y axis I think. You gotta find the numbers representing the X axis (or maybe it's the Z axis, iono).

How to put down the numbers, I'm afraid I don't know.

smoke.0=x.xx, y.yy, z.zz, fx_smoke_sammy_long_red

x=longitudinal axis (fore and aft)...minus is aft
y=lateral axis (left and right)...minus is left
z=vertical axis (up and down)...minus is down

Measured in feet from the 'reference_datum_position'**

**Reference_datum_position-Offset (in feet) of the aircraft's reference datum from the standard Flight Simulator center point, which is on the centerline

Thanks for the replies, especially Dave! I figured it out and it works great now!!
