Nimrod smoke question

[Roger]

Added some smoke to Brian's Nimrod but is there a simple way to keep the smoke on when the engines are started without pressing the "I" key?

 

[Roger]

Sorted! Found a gauge in the Alphasim Victor panel that does the job.

 

[Bone]

I have the Victor, which guage?

 

[Roger]

This one: (in vc 1) gauge14=ALPHA_Victor!FDB85%smoke, 1,1,1,1. You'll need to put the .cab file in the main gauges folder.

I also have the CS b-52 and used their smoke:

[smokesystem]
smoke.0=-8.3,-10.8,-0.2, cs52_smoke
smoke.1=-7.5,-8.5, -0.2, cs52_smoke
smoke.2=-7.5, 8.5, -0.2, cs52_smoke
smoke.3=-8.3, 10.8,-0.2, cs52_smoke

It could be any other smoke that suits.

thanks

Did you not have any smoke Roger?

I was the only beta tester not to see it and we never found out why! It is built into the model, not an effect. I might try this, as somewhere I have the Victor!

there is a simple effect control script gauge which you can have smoke at high RPM. We use it in all our models

Ahhh...thought I was being clever adding smoke and all along I was in a minority that couldn't see the included smoke effect!:redf:

The smoke is very good.....if you can see it!

It is power sensitive and very smokey at full power. I would be interested to know how many folk are missing it. I tried a thread here to investigate it, but with little response.

I also get no smoke from the default heavies, so maybe that's a clue!

Same here. Full throttle departing from Kinloss and not a whiff of smoke:

Nope no smoke for me either. Window 7 64 Bit, Nividia 260.99 driver

No smoke, just contrails above circa 20,000 ft.

 

[hschuit]

No problems here, plenty smoke as advertized.

Just in case this starts looking too much like 64bit OS don't give smoke, here's a couple from me running Win7 64 bit:

I like the modelled smoke! Just wish it would work for me.

Trev, do you know which effect the .mdl calls for? It may be just a missing fx file.

 

[calypsos]

Sorry Roger, we never got it sorted! It seems to not use an a .fx file at all and the smoke is part of the model!

 

[WhiskeyEcho]

Plenty smoke here also Win7 64 and ATI .

It installed 4 .fx files when I installed it the other day:

fx_MR2R_smoke_1.fx
fx_MR2L_smoke_1.fx
fx_MR2R_smoke_2.fx
fx_MR2L_smoke_2.fx
