I would be interested to know what letters represent what colours in the default smoke system.]Currently I have this under [smokesystem]smoke.0=-10.00, -0.70, 0.0, fx_smoke_w smoke.1=-33, -20.00, 1.40, fx_smoke_rsmoke.2=-33, 20.00, 1.40, fx_smoke_rw = whiter = redb = nullg = nullI don't know any other letters other than 'r' and 'w' for the smoke colour, anybody got any letters they know that work?

b = blue, g = green?Cheers,- jahman.

That's what I thought, but nothing comes out when I use these letters.So far, I have only been able to use 'r' and 'w'

I assume you are aware that the fx_smoke_w etc. is referring to the actual name of an effect file in your effects folder.As an example, if fx_smoke_r (it most likely will have an .fx extension also) does not exist in your effects folder then it will not display.

So if I were to somehow create an effect that displays green smoke into my effects folder and called it fx_smoke_g, it would display green smoke? (As I have just recently found out that FSX default only includes red and white).

I believe that is basically correct.If memory serves, there may be several smoke effect files in the library which you can download and install in your effects folder to get additional colors.Good Luck!.

I can find many FS2004 smoke colours, but no FSX ones. Do you think FS9 effects could work in FSX?

somehow....?A. use the effects tool from the SDK... that's what it's for. copy fx_smoke_w (white) as fx_smoke_g (green) and edit that file's colors to the shade of green you want-OR-B. Effects files are just text. open fx_smoke_w in notepad, save as fx_smoke_g, then edit the colors to your satisfaction.Reference the desired new smoke color in the aircraft.cfg and you have it. There have been one or more tutorials posted in years gone by on how to do this in detail... one might have been called "Playing with Smoke" or some such...-OR-Easiest....C. look for add-on files that already provide such alternate colors for the Extra or other aircraft. Yes, those have been posted previously also. Once you install those additional colors, you can reference them with any aircraft.Loyd

Yes, as far as I know the effects files are the same in either version of FS. Give it a try.

Yep, it worked. Fs2004 smoke effects work in FSX. I downloaded four colors (which came in the same pack) although I renamed them from their original name to a fsx name, for example: bra_v to fx_smoke_v. This is actually green smoke.
