Getting Buffed.

[Sbob]

Finishing up the aircraft.cfg edits, find the [SMOKESYSTEM] section and replace it with:

=======================================================================
[SMOKESYSTEM]
smoke.0=-20.00,-7.50,-16.5, fx_hjg_dc9_smoke.fx
smoke.1=-20.00,-7.50, 16.5, fx_hjg_dc9_smoke.fx
=======================================================================

I use a "medium" smoke effect that's controlled by the panel folder (we'll get to that in a few) from HJG, https://simviation.com/hjg/downloads.htm

since Smoke is one of those personal decisions, use what you like.

Finishing up, find the [Views] section. I tweaked this a little so you're in the cabin of the plane, sweating over your whiz wheel, charts, and dividers. This view also makes it easier to taxi from the VC view. Make the following changes:

=====================================================================
[Views]
eyepoint=-1.1286, -1.85, 7.00
=====================================================================

Panel and sounds. I've attached the panel folder I use for the T-43. Install is pretty basic but pay attention to the CAB file in my panel folder. The CAB file goes in your main FS9 Gauges folder. If you already have the Alpha/Virtavia B-1B installed, don't worry about the CAB file. We're only borrowing the main clock, which will also be used in the B-52. You may want to change the view from the 2D panel by hitting your minus (-) key.
Your ACS-GPS gauge is "tagged" to the GPS icon and can get dragged over the HSI. Place the GPS where you want it. You can also view the GPS from the VC by pressing <shift> 3. The numbers should update but you won't be able to manually change any settings.

Sounds are up to you. I would recommend one of the twin engine Turbojet sound files from HJG, make sure you download a version that includes thrust reversers.

EDIT- I forgot a "gauge". Grab "smokextrol.zip" and unzip the folder to your desktop. The whole folder is dropped into your main FS9 Gauges folder. I'm guessing most of us already have these Alphasim XML controller files installed but I included all of them in case you don't. Oops..

What Smoke effect is at the HJG Downloads page under Effects?

I used the DC-9 smoke in the aircraft.cfg file edit. It isn't too heavy.

But again, smoke is in the eyes of the beholder.
