I love that FS2004 has become more detailed with respect to the rendition on industrial areas and factories. There are instances of smoke rising from stacks - which is great. There still could be better macros for Oil refinerys and Steel Factories etc. I was wondering if anyone has designed any scenery that is highly detailed. There are some major cities that have significant industrial areas in and around the airport ie: Newark, Houston, South Philadelphia/Camden, etc. In terms of effects, I was also wondering if anyone has thought of designing the flames that come out of (sorry I don't have the proper name for it) the (for lack of a better word) controlled burn off stacks?I think that would add a dynamic realism to the scenery in FS2004. I was also wondering if there was a way to program the white steam effects of emissions in cold weather (obviously a seasonal effect in the mid to polar latitudes)? Has anyone looked into this or would there be anyone prepared to take this challenge on?RegardsTPToronto

Hi TP.You might want to check out the FS2002 Effects SDK:http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimul...#specialeffectsIt is quite easy to turn effects on and off at particular times and months.Dick
