FSXA FX Engine Start Effect.

[JoeKumanchik]

Hello All,

I am trying to modify a engine start smoke effect to emit from the side two sides of an engine cowling rather then below the engine toward the front of the motor. I have atteched clip of the first emitter. I have played with the offsets and have moved the point the smoke starts but with strange results. Can somebody point me in the right direction to learn how this file works?
