Can these lines be placed in the FSX.CFG somewhere or do I have to put it in each aircraft .cfg file? I want to get rid of the default vortices, they look rather silly on a slow plane in particular a biplane where they show up on one wing.

vaportrail_l=fx_dummy
vaportrail_r=fx_dummy
 
I think the answer is to go to the effects folder and remove
fx_vaportrail_r.fx and fx_vaportrail_l.fx.

Regards,
Nick
 
On a somewhat related note ...

If you ever want to remove the occurrence of a given effect in particular plane, but not nuke the effect for good by deleting outright, you can also "comment out" the effect in the .cfg, with two forward slashes ("//"), thus:

// vaportrail_l=fx_dummy
// vaportrail_r=fx_dummy

This comes into play with some light and smoke effects, where the fx themselves may not be universally bad, but just not desired in a particular aircraft. Gives you another option, instead of "all or nothing" ... :encouragement:
