FSX Fairchild Merlin III Engine Smoke

Fairchild Merlin III pilots get a subtle, realistic twin-engine smoke effect that adds atmosphere to takeoffs and cruise, with an in-flight toggle for a mellow trail. Designed for the Mike Stone aircraft and tuned for Gustavo La Cruz repaints, it enhances immersion in FSX without changing flight behavior.

Installation:

  • Copy and paste the "fx_smoke_f6.fx" file into your FSX "Effects" folder... (it's probably there already, so look first.)
  • Copy and paste all of the [SMOKESYSTEM] info. below into your Merlin III "aircraft.cfg" file for each aircraft. I pasted mine between the [keyboard_response] section and the [forcefeedback] section, which worked nicely.
  • Press the "I" key while flying your Merlin III and enjoy a nice mellow smoke!
