black smoke from exhaust during startup

[karmelk 0]

From one of the Youtube films on the NGX I saw black smoke coming from the engine during startup (simular to PMDG MD11) but which I seem not to be getting on my startup's.

 

Rather than having to go throught all threads I wonder if someone will be so kind directing me in the right direction and  for which I thank you in advance.

 

Kind regards

Why not ask in the comment section of that Youtube video? Or send the video poster a PM directly?

Hi. I know a similar effect which i downloaded to my project airbus 380 the add on is a freeware found in the AVSIM library http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=smoke+effect&CatID=fsx&Go=Search

You have to add the smoke effect to your FSX effect folder and then add a CFG entry in yout aircraft CFG. but you have to check if there is a similar one to the ngx because it has 2 engines only not like the 380. Also you have to click on I to enable it in FSX.

More realistic would be white smoke during startup which you do see sometimes from real airliners. I've never seen black smoke from a modern airliner engine.

Not unless something is seriously wrong

Make sure you have your advanced animations section checked in the graphics portion of the settings on your FSX main menu. If it already is then I haven't a clue and wish you luck.
