FSX Lockheed S-3B Viking Smoke Effects

Lockheed S-3B Viking smoke effects add convincing twin-engine exhaust plumes to the Iris freeware aircraft, bringing extra atmosphere to carrier and low-level flights in FSX. The smoke system ties into the simulator’s effects framework and triggers in-flight for a simple, immersive visual upgrade that complements the Viking’s military character.

Installation:

Copy and paste the enclosed "fx_smoke_f6.fx" file into your FSX "Effects" folder. (It's probably there already).
Copy and paste all of the [SMOKESYTEM] info. below into your S-3B Viking "aircraft.cfg" file. (then click 'file', then click 'save', of course). I pasted mine at the bottom of the file with good results.
Press your "I" key while flying your S-3B in FSX and enjoy the smoke!
