November 20, 20187 yr Hi Love flying this plane but get lots of smoke from one or both engines Anything I could do to stop it? xxd09
November 20, 20187 yr There is a setting in Plane Maker.exe for exhaust amount that you could try adjusting. Make a copy of the original .afc file, then open that copy in Planemaker. Go to Standard - Engine Specs - SFC/Sound. Look for "Exhaust Dirtiness" at the lower right, and adjust it down from the default setting of 1.0. Then save the file, and make sure you're loading the copy and not the original when you test it. Note: This works for most aircraft models, but some payware models might include copy protection that won't load a model that's been altered in Planemaker. I don't think it will hurt to try on a copy of the .acf file. X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator on Windows 10 i7 6700 4.0 GHz, 32 GB RAM, GTX 1660 ti, 1920x1200 monitor
November 21, 20187 yr Are you sure you didn’t damage the engine? I only get black smoke if I’m operating the engines outside safe parameters and one catches fire.

November 21, 20187 yr Author Thanks for those suggestions Have not tried modifying the .acf file yet Am aware of the propensity to damage the engine by overdoing it but careful takeoffs still get smoke! xxd09 Edited November 21, 20187 yr by xxd09 Spelling
