• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Problem-1: glowing smoke trails, when flying at night, at altitude and in STOL/VTOL configuration.

Solution:
- Make sure FSX is not running.
- In the main /Effects folder, find file fx_RCB_Smoke90.fx
- Make a backup of that file for safety, in case you make errors.
- Open the .fx file with Windows Notepad.
- Find the section particle.0
- In the line
Lifetime=2.00, 8.50
replace 8.50 by 3.00
- In the line
Face= 1,1,1
replace 1,1,1 by 0,0,1
- Save the file

Do the same steps for file fx_RCB_Smoke45.fx

Problem-2: cannons do not keep firing when you keep the "H" key (default key for CarbHeat On/Off function) depressed; no audible cannon sounds.

Solution:
- Make sure FSX is not running.
- In folder /SimObjects/Airplanes/Wilco_HJJ/panel/rcb-gauges/, find file HarrierSound.ini
- Make a backup of that file for safety, in case you make errors.
- Open the .ini file with Windows Notepad.
- In the line
Sound00=./SimObjects/Airplanes.........etc
replace the string Wilco_Harrier by Wilco_HJJ
- Save the file
