Hi anyone able to get this working on the Default 737...i can get the Idle smoke effect,but when i open up the throttle,i get grey squares instead of the smoke effect...i know that it's not finding the effect file..but it is in the right place and i followed the instructions carefully..i am quite good at this sort of thing normally(i added smoke to all my AI traffic manually)i spent a couple of hours on this earlier... any ideas appreciated steve

Actually I had the same thing on the Posky A330/A340 & A3XX seriesDidn't have time to tinker with it so, Off the hard drive she goes.Testing Would be a nice thing before uploading software I think.Cheers

I got the same problem Steve, don't know what's wrong either.-Mike Patel

Howdy,his effects files reference two custom bitmaps, fx_heat.bmp and fx_heat_r.bmp, which he forgot (I assume) to include.Cheers, Holger

Actually it may be, "and I do mean may - be" possible that you are not moving whilst testing the new install?? Any "Smoke System" entry if your standing still can produce some x(ILL effects :-erks. Just a thought. Regards,Roman

thanks everyonein a way I'm quite relieved that you are having problems also.lol...it means it isn't me...I have tried it also when i'm moving so it isn't that..i know that you activate the secondary effect by pressing the I key .its tied to the Fs2004 smokesystem..I thought that it might be because i'm using the default 737 and that doesn't have a line in the aircraft config [smokesystem](i made my own one)from the FFX 737.. hopefully a new version will fix the problems we are all having. thanks again steveps ive seen a few fs2004 videos showing large clouds of smoke coming of the back of the wings on takeoff...is that the effect that is missing???

Got mine working (in FS2002). Since I have the IFDG Airbus 320, I used the example in his instructions and it works fine. You must put...1. Effects in 'effects' folder2. xml gauges in 'gauges' folder3. an entry or two in your panel.cfg for the new gauges.4. " in the 'lights' section of the aircraft.cfg.5 " in the 'smokesystem' section of the aircraft cfg.Works as advertised for me. (Pretty good too, I think it's a keeper.)Cheers,Bob

For those of you who may not know yet, Martyn Becker did come out with a version 2 of his ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM - filename is EES_V2.ZIP at AVSIM. I just got it to work in PMDG 737NG! (the 737-700 to be specific). It works well. However, it does NOT work in the POSKY 747-200 as I think the LIGHTS section of the POSKY aircraft.cfg has light types which are the SAME as what Martyn put in his add-on lines for the aircraft.cfg - type "9" ALREADY EXISTS in the POSKY.But getting to work on the PMDG is great and this is why I posted this - for those of you who use the 737NG will be happy to know I figure.John
