• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

I have a problem trying to move the smoke on the Kaitaki. The ship has been resized to fit in with my AI shipping program I end up with this effect
Hope someone can help me sort this out?

Hi Kiwiusa. This response is a little late and may be of no use to you now but here goes anyway. :)

I suggest you copy the 'fx_Smoke_seikan.fx' file and rename it. Then open the new .fx file and adjust the emitter offset position. (I think there is only one emitter in this effect). In FSX you would adjust it by placing a negative value on the 'z' offset parameter. I'm not sure if that is the same in FS9, but trial and error here will be necessary to establish the correct parameter and the correct value. The particle offset values do not need to be adjusted as they will simply follow the emitter offset position. Make sure your entry in the effects section of your config file (concrete=fx_Smoke_seikan) is adjusted to account for the name of the new *.fx file you created.


Hope this helps :)

smoke.9=1, -75.00, -16.00, 53.00, fx_SmokeStack2
smoke.10=1, -75.00, 16.00, 53.00, fx_SmokeStack2
Click to expand...

You may find changing one of these parameters will help. They appear to be the location of the smoke effect and I suspect the one you need to change is the -75. It's worth a try.
