FSX SP2 Compatible Engine Smoke Effect

Engine smoke effects tailored for the Jens B. Kristensen Boeing 247D add atmosphere with a choice of thin light trails or thicker, darker exhaust. Designed for FSX SP2 compatibility, it updates the smoke system entries and effect files so the classic twin looks more alive in flight, especially during climbs and power changes.

CREDITS:

The original authors of the 2 enclosed smoke effects files, whoever you are. I take no credit for any of this.

INSTALLATION:

1.) For thicker smoke, copy and paste the enclosed "fx_smoke_f6" file into your FSX "Effects" folder. (It's probably there already).

2.) For thinner smoke, do the same except use the "fx_enginesmoke" file instead.

3.) Copy and paste the enclosed [SMOKESYSTEM] info. found below into your 247D "aircraft.cfg" file. I pasted mine at the bottom with good results. Then click 'file', then click 'save', of course.

4.) Press your "I" key while flying your Jens B. 247D in FSX and enjoy the smoke!
