CREDITS:
1.) The CalClassic team, for their wonderful Convair 580.
2.) Bjoern Kesten, for updating the CV-580 to FSX-SP2.
3.) The original author of the "fx_smoke_f6" effects file, whoever you are.
4.) I take no credit for any of this. All I did was a tiny bit of math.
INSTALLATION: Simple!
1.) Copy and paste the enclosed "fx_smoke_f6" file into your FSX "Effects" folder. (It's probably there already).
2.) IMPORTANT!!! Open your Convair 580 "aircraft.cfg" file and find the [SMOKESYSTEM] section. ERASE IT!!!, because it does not display properly in FSX-SP2.
3.) Copy and paste the entire enclosed [SMOKESYSTEM] info. found below back into your "aircraft.cfg." file, replacing what you just erased. (Then click 'file', then click 'save', of course).
4.) Press your "I" key while flying your Convair 580 and enjoy the smoke!
