Hello everyone, I'm hoping that one of you talented geniuses can point me into the right direction. (smile) I know there is a way of making effects for aircraft, however, for the life of me I can't seem to find any tutorials or information on it. I "THINK".... you write an mdl file or something for the effect and then assign a guage to get it to work, however, I need something just a little more detailed. If anyone can point me into the right direction I sure would appreciate it. Many Thanks, Steve ;D

Many Thanks, Steve ;D I'm no expert on the subject but if you study the aircraft.cfg for how the effects are located on the aircraft, and then examine the fx files with notepad (they're XML) you can learn a lot about their construction and placement. Also IF I remember correctly, there's a tutorial at AVSIM.

Tom.... Thanks for the response. And once again my knowledge base has just increased. Who said old dogs can't learn new tricks...I didn't realize you can open up an fx file with notepad. (Grin)
Okay... now that I have a starting point, let me head off to Avsim and see if I can find a tutorial. Once again.... Many Thanks!!
Best wishes,

What kind of fx are you contemplating? I'm finding to my chagrin that they don't all work the same.

I'm actually just wanting to learn how you add smoke exhaust, flames, or other effects to your aircraft. I use to have a file I had downloaded that would add smoke to the exhaust at a specific throttle position. Over the years that file has gotten lost with all the millions of other downloads. (smile) So... I figured it's about time I start learning to do some of this stuff too. How hard can it be? ?? Yeah... right! Best wishes,
