FSX Default Engine Smoke Effect

Cessna 208B Caravan engine smoke adds a convincing exhaust plume to the default aircraft, enhancing realism during climb, cruise, and power changes. Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it integrates cleanly via the aircraft configuration and standard effects file, then toggles in flight for quick, flexible use.

Cessna C208B engine smoke effect with easy installation. By Tom Tiedman.

Screenshot of Cessna C208B in flight.

Installation:

Copy and paste the enclosed "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 default C208B "aircraft.cfg" file. I pasted mine between the [RADIOS] section and the [LIGHTS] section with good results.
Press your "I" key while flying your C208B and enjoy the smoke!
