Hi all,

I've a question regarding changing the direction of smoke effects in P3Dv4. Is it possible to make engine smoke on ai aircraft go directly backwards rather than into the air stream. As you can see it looks a bit unreal & look better if it goes straight backwards.

This is the same for every single smoke effect in the game, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this already but worth an ask I reckon.

Dan,

Just quickly looking at FX_enginesmoke effect I did notice all of the emitters had this one line:

Pitch= 00.00.00

My guess is that it means it will go out the engine straight or parallel with the ground and not in the direction the jet exhaust is pointing.

Giving some more thought on this,  Any numbers entered, other than the zeros, would permanently change the angle of the
exhaust smoke and if flying level, the smoke would either be pointing downward or upward.

You would need something like pitch= variable depending on angle of attack.  That ain't gonna work!
