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 enclosed [SMOKESYSTEM] info. below into your C-130J-30 "aircraft.cfg" file. I pasted mine between the [hydraulic_system] section and the [Radios] section with good results.
Press your "I" key while flying your C-130J-30 in FSX and enjoy the engine smoke.
