Annoying smoking engines fix?

Featured Replies

I've been running into this issue lately... really wrecks my screen shot ability.

Engines of all sorts start smoking after some time in flight.  All gauges in the green, mixture set accordingly.  Happened in the freeware Bell 429 turbine as well.

Any ideas?

 

EDIT:  Fixed it - apparently keyboard key "X" is set to "smoke puffing" by default (whatever that is!!)

The Cessna_172SP_seaplane.acf (In XP11)should be editable and saveable with a text editor.  If it is you could change the exhaust dirtiness there.

Look for

P acf/_exhaust_rat

and change the 3.0 to 1.0 or 0.01

It looks like they they lowered it to 1.0.

:laugh:

That and the "wet runway spray" will get users all the time.

The "X" is called airshow smoke and it can be quite useful (to visualize the wind or flight-path, for example).

Good find, I wonder if there is a guide for knowing the equivalencies of the acf fields to be edited with text editor instead of PlaneMaker that sometimes may break something.

ooooh, X-Plane you cruel temptress

take away that smoke and the screenshot is barely distinguishable from real life

please employ someone who can make smoke and clouds, you're so close to having this nailed
