Wilco Harrier: 2 do-it-yourself patches

[rcbarend]

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
