Guys

Does anyone have any somke effects for the HTAI C130E, nothing too heavy just right...

We need to put it into a package, so need permission to use it...

Can anyone knock one up or suggest a good un?

Cheers

Barry

I am using the smoke systems developed by Martyn Becker and/or Jan Rosenberg on almost every aircraft I have in my PC.

I use the effect files linked to the light system. I link a light smoke effect on the beacon (so you have a heatsimming effect behind the engines) and a darker effect superposed on the first when the strobes are on

example on the C-130E

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit
light.0=3, 1.60, -66.30, 7.65, fx_navredm,
light.1=3, 1.60, 66.30, 7.65, fx_navgrem,
light.2=3, -58.30, 0.00, 6.10, fx_navwhih,
light.3=2, 1.60, -66.40, 7.65, fx_strobeh,
light.4=2, 1.60, 66.40, 7.65, fx_strobeh,
light.5=1, -48.50, 0.00, 29.50, fx_beaconb,
light.6=5, 1.90, -22.60, 5.50, fx_landing,
light.7=5, 1.90, 22.60, 5.50, fx_landing,
light.8=5, 12.90, -7.10, 1.50, fx_landing,
light.9=5, 12.90, 7.10, 1.50, fx_landing,
light.10 = 1, -10.0, 16.8, 4.0, fx_fanengine_light_idle // Engine 1
light.11 = 1, -10.0, 33.8, 4.0, fx_fanengine_light_idle // Engine 2
light.12 = 1, -10.0, -16.8, 4.0, fx_fanengine_light_idle // Engine 3
light.13 = 1, -10.0, -33.8, 4.0, fx_fanengine_light_idle // Engine 4
light.14 = 2, -10.0, 16.8, 4.0, fx_Single_Eng_Turbo_wash // Engine 1
light.15 = 2, -10.0, 33.8, 4.0, fx_Single_Eng_Turbo_wash // Engine 2
light.16 = 2, -10.0, -16.8, 4.0, fx_Single_Eng_Turbo_wash // Engine 3
light.17 = 2, -10.0, -33.8, 4.0, fx_Single_Eng_Turbo_wash // Engine 4

After some trial and error, here's what I am using. The C-130 puts out a ton of smoke, so I went with a very dark, long lasting effect. Unfortunately even though it looks good, the effect is from the CaptainSim C-130 which I own, therefore it wouldn't be anything we could use. I tried several other smoke effects that I had in my effects folder and none of them were "just right". Most were too thin or not dark enough to look authentic. So it might take some searching but eventually I think we can find a proper smoke effect to use with our packages. We'll have to get permission, etc. of course.

Anyways here is my coding from the Aircraft.cfg file for HT's C-130H. If you are reading this and want to add this effect to all your HT C-130s just copy this section into any relevant Aircraft.cfg file for Henry's C-130 model. You will however have to use a smoke effect from your own FS9/effects folder and insert that effect name at the end of each line.

Hi there!
I have also some "smoke" on my AI. It´s from Nick Needham an avaiable at AVSIM

http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?Ca ... DLID=41187

Filename: nicksaijetexhaust.zip

Many thanks for all the helps guys.

Barry and I have been "playing around" (honestly we're just good friends) and we have tweeked Nicks smoke effect for use with the Alberts.

I'll be contact Nick to try and obtain his permission for including the effects in the packages.

Cheers

Stewart

Hi again,

I can now confirm that Nick Needham has given permission for MAIW to use his smoke effects with the Exotic Alberts packages.

Cheers

Stewart

That's great news, is it a "blanket permission" for all future packages or just one at a time?

Hi Mike,

I am sure there would be no problems, however I suppose it would be nice if we gave Nick a heads up for each inclusion.

Cheers

Stewart

Can u post a pic of a Herk with what we have gone with, so the group can see....We are happy with it and I am sure they will all be..

Cheers

Does anyone know where I can get this fx file from? If possible, please send to my e-mail at jerel2k1@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Why is it that everyone seems to tie the smoke effect in with the lights?
Why not use the default smoke system command? Letter I on the keyboard... right?
