FSX Airbus A380 Smoke Effect

Bring the Project Airbus A380 to life with a convincing engine smoke trail effect tuned for in-flight visibility, adding atmosphere during climbs, cruise, and approach. Designed for FSX, it integrates via the aircraft configuration and uses the included fx_smoke_f6 effect for clean, consistent smoke placement across all four engines.

A large four-engine jet banks sharply above scattered clouds, leaving visible wingtip vortices under a bright sun and blue sky.

A large four-engine jet airliner is viewed from below as it climbs above clouds, leaving faint contrails behind each wing.

A four-engine jet airliner climbs steeply after takeoff with visible contrails against a partly cloudy sky above flat terrain.

A large twin-engine jet with extended landing gear banks left through scattered clouds against a light blue sky.

Copy and paste all of the [SMOKESYSTEM] info. below into your Airbus A380 "aircraft.cfg" file. (Then click 'file', then click 'save', of course). I pasted mine at the bottom of the file with good results.
Copy and paste the enclosed "fx_smoke_f6.fx" file into your FSX "Effects" folder. (It's probably there already).
Press your "I" key while flying your A380 in FSX and enjoy the smoke!
