FSX Avro Vulcan Smoke Effects

Avro Vulcan engine smoke effects bring convincing four‑stream exhaust to the freeware Phoenix Design Vulcan, with tuned emitter placement for stable visuals and a cleaner airborne presence. Designed for FSX, it updates the aircraft.cfg smoke system and uses the included fx_smoke_f6 effect for an authentic, cockpit-triggered display.

Open your Vulcan's "aircraft.cfg" file, find the [SMOKESYSTEM] section, and erase it. It does not display properly in FSX.
Copy and paste all of the [SMOKESYSTEM] info. below back into your Vulcan's "aircraft.cfg" file, replacing what you just erased.
Copy and paste the enclosed "fx_smoke_f6.fx" file into your FSX "Effects" folder. (It's probably there already). Then click 'file', then click 'save', of course.
Press your "I" key while flying your Vulcan in FSX and enjoy the smoke!
