FSX Tutorial - Messing With Engine Effects

Engine exhaust flame effects can bring piston aircraft to life, and this FSX tutorial by Mike Basford walks through practical tweaks to intensify, shape, and time exhaust visuals for more convincing takeoffs and night operations. It focuses on hands-on experimentation with effect parameters to better match aircraft performance and atmosphere.

A vintage twin-engine airliner with "World Travel Airlines" livery is shown on the ground with its nose pitched upward and humorous red annotations.
