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 EMB-120 "aircraft.cfg" file (then click 'file', then click 'save', of course). I pasted mine between the [brakes] section and the [hydraulic_system] section with good results.
Press your "I" key while flying your EMB-120 in FSX and enjoy the smoke!
