FSX Colored Smoke System

Colored smoke trails bring airshow-style visuals to any aircraft, using a lightweight gauge that spawns smoke effects from selectable airframe positions and ties five color options to standard light switches. Designed for FSX and tested with the PC-7Astra setup, it supports flexible configuration for different models with clear bilingual documentation.

A control panel labeled COLORED Smoke System displays five toggle switches, each paired with a colored indicator bar for different configurations.

Based on a great idea from Lucas Sichardt I have developed a gauge which generates in different colores a trail of smoke. The smoke will be generated on individual positions of the aircraft by using smoke effects. The parameter settings in this documentation are for the aircraft PC-7Astra . The PC-7 model can be downloaded from AVSIM. However, the gauge can be installed for any aircraft. The aircraft light function elements heve been used for this implementation. The following light function have been used in order to generate 5 color configurations: 1. Recocnition 2. Cabin 3. Logo 4. Wing 5. Cockpit Restriction: By using this lights for smoke generation, the corresponding aircraft should not have this light switchen, or not using those. Installation: For installation details, pls read the ReadMe documentation whiche is included in the zip file. The documentation is in german and english language.
