Harvard Smoke

[Wing_Z]

Jan Kees painting up those Harvards made me wonder if they can be made to generate some airshow smoke.
I am assuming they do not already have this.
Last time I looked at this was back in FS9, and it was a relatively simple matte of adjusting the density, duration etc of the sprites.
Has anyone tried this in MSFS 2020?

I believe there's already a smoke effect installed with the stock files, so it's just a matter of adding it to the systems.cfg file.

(Scroll down a bit...)

Getting under the hood in the sims verges on addiction, does it not?
Thanks for the pointer.

But how to use this with the T-6 where the systems.cfg is locked up?

There may be a way to add it with a Community folder addon, but that's a different animal. The people that frequent the SDK section of the official forum might be able to offer some help.
