Sorry if this has been posted already... search took forever and didnt pull up anything.

Anyways, looking to add wingtip smoke to say an F-16.... kinda like how they have for airshows. I believe I have seen it done, but I would like to know how. Thanks in advance.

Something like this

My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.&&&&My Posky 777 VC settings - http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1218341439&&Posky 777 and FSX jetways - http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1228448408

hey...i think that with kirk's F-16 the smoke system key (default I) will give you the vapor effect like there is at the start of the wings in the picture(although im not sure because my effects got messed up and now the contrails are triggered by the lights key) but i know this is an effect for it. as for the wingtip smoke, im not sure how to get it. the only thing i can think of is maybe the dump fuel command, but you may have to downloasd an effect or something to show it. wingtip contrails however are easily attained in high g turns.

hope this is somewhat of a help!! Grin

There are some number values in the .cfg that determine where the smoke is released from the airplane under smokesytem. Add two smokesytems and adjust the values so that smoke comes from each wing.

Thanks. I understand what you are saying... but when it comes to the .cfg stuff, Im still learning. I wouldnt even know where to start! Are there any tutorials about modifying it? I.E. where the wingtip number value would be?
