Hello. I just downloaded the file & I can't extract it to check it out. It appears to be corrupt. .

Same here, no matter which zip program I use, it appears to be just an empty zip file. Huh

Try renaming the file extension from .zip to .txt.

It'll come out looking like this:
Quote:

Ok Paste the code below in the Boeing 737 aircraft.cfg file under the lights section it only works for the 737 becuase the numbers are the effects position YOU DO NOT NEED ANY EXTRA EFFECTS

Code:

[SMOKESYSTEM]
smoke.0=-1.00, +17.00, 0.0, fx_engfire, fx_engsmoke2, fx_smoke_f6
smoke.1=-1.00, +17.00, 0.0, fx_engfire, fx_engsmoke2, fx_smoke_f6
smoke.2=-1.00, +15.00, 0.0, fx_engfire, fx_engsmoke2, fx_smoke_f6
smoke.3=-1.00, +15.00, 0.0, fx_engfire, fx_engsmoke2, fx_smoke_f6
smoke.4=-1.00, +14.00, 0.0, fx_engfire, fx_engsmoke2, fx_smoke_f6
smoke.5=-1.00, +14.00, 0.0, fx_engfire, fx_engsmoke2, fx_smoke_f6
smoke.6=-1.00, +13.00, 0.0, fx_engfire, fx_engsmoke2, fx_smoke_f6
smoke.7=-1.00, +13.00, 0.0, fx_engfire, fx_engsmoke2, fx_smoke_f6
smoke.8=-1.00, +18.00, 0.0, fx_engfire, fx_engsmoke2, fx_smoke_f6
smoke.9=-1.00, +18.00, 0.0, fx_engfire, fx_engsmoke2, fx_smoke_f6

Add - signs where there are + and + where there are - for 1st engine fire effect

MY SPECS= 5' 11" Slightly less than healthy male, 160 lbs., Brown eyes........Oh...you were wondering about my computers specs.....

Now that's clever. Wink

I see what they did now, they didn't zip it up, but the file system named it as such.

Good catch. Cool

It would take much longer to make the video than to actually do the mod. Wink

In the picture from your first post, open the file called "aircraft.cfg" in Notepad.

Then scroll down to the bottom of the file, and then copy and paste the text from the download into the aircraft.cfg after the very last line.

Save it when you are done, and that's it. Enjoy the smoke.
