It's relatively easy,

Example:

smoke.0 = -1.72, -23.29, -45.66, fx_smoke_effect  =smoke.0 = X, Y, Z, fx_smoke_effect


Just change the values of X,Y,Z shown where the coordinates are to finalize your effects position.

ok but if you check in an aircraft.cfg the engstartup fx does have x,y,z and is not in the smoke section but in effect section ?


so if i change the smoke parametre in smoke section i will change the engstartup position in effect section also ??? :-/

Sorry the X,Y,Z represent positions 'in design terms' '

X= is length position Positive variable for forward and negative for aft position.

Y= needs to be moved side to side - is left + number is right

Z= Height negative value means lower positive means higher.

I don't understand your second question, other then if it's another effect just add smoke.1 then smoke.2 etc. ;)

Woodylepic,

What aircraft are you working with? Because it is in the effects section like the touchdown and other effects, I suspect that the effect is coded to use the coordinates of the engine. These are located in the
