I've having a problem with a smoke texture! Can anyone help!

Postby Dave71K » Thu Jan 19, 2012 2:42 pm

I seem to have a rogue smoke effect somewhere, I may have installed it by accident or on purpose I have a lot of addons.

I was wondering if anyone else has it or uses it or knows what it's called so I can delete it. I've emptied my effects folder of everything with smoke in the title and it's not got rid of it.
It appears at engine start and then runs for a few mins then stops.

Have you tried going into the 747's .cfg file and deleting the [smokesystem] lines?

Do what Skyhawk suggests except don't delete the smokesystem line remove them (maybe put them in a notepad doc) one by one till that effect stops happening. Then look at the last entry in the notepad doc find what the effect is called & do a search for it in your effects folder & remove it. Then put all of the smokesystem lines that you removed back into the aircraft.cfg.

Rather than remove them, put double slashes in front of the smoke entries:

[smokesystem]
//smoke.1......
//smoke.2....

Then remove the double slashes one or two at a time to find the culprit.
