FS2004-FS2002 FX: Nick's Touchdown and Vortex FX

Nick’s Touchdown and Vortex FX adds convincing touchdown “woosh” and wingtip vortex effects that suit wet or dry runways, scaling across heavy transports, airliners, and business jets for richer landing moments. Built for FS2004 and FS2002, it includes three custom-sized effect sets and supports pairing with Nick’s Prop Dust for large prop aircraft.

HOLD ON TO YOUR HAT!! When those big boys touch down they don’t just chirp -n-smoke the tires... that pillow of air under those wings has to go somewhere. With Nicks Touchdown and Vortex FX's you get to see it and if you’re close enough to the action, choke on it as well!! The provided touchdown and vortex FX's are designed for all weather conditions and usually enhance wet pavement landings. Three custom scaled FX files cover large scale military and civilian transports, Airbus, 777's, 747's, 737's, MD's, 727's along with large and small Lear jets. Users of Nicks Prop Dust can also use Nick's Touchdown with Vortex FX to enhance their LARGE prop aircraft on dry asphalt and concrete runways. Installation requires running the auto-installer and making a minor edit to the aircraft.cfg file. After a great flight wouldn’t it be nice to end it with the realistic WoooooooOOSH that Microsoft left out of Flight Simulator? Now you can be BLOWN AWAY with every touchdown! ENJOY! From Nick Needham.

I installed this with your AI Jet Smoke addon and both of them combined when a jet comes in to land looks really nice.
