Ive been working for hours trying to get smoke to come out of all 4 of the smoke stacks and i just cant do it. The eng file is written with smoke 1 thru 4 but one and two seem to be the only ones actaully there in the game because they are the only two i can see changes in when editing the eng file.
Someone help me please. Surely this IS possible, Right? All ideas welcome.Cheers
Randy

Hi Randy, Welcome to the world of MSTS bugs!! You can only have two smoke commands in a .eng file that will actually work. BUT....There IS a solution!!Yuo have to move the location of the smoke plumes to center it between the 1 and 2 stacks and 3 and 4 stacks. then increase the length, and amount of smoke being produced. It actually is quite good looking when done. HOPEFULLY, in MSTS2 this will be a bug eliminated so you can actually have one "bad" cylinder and make it smoke badly!! I hope this helps!!Take care!!Kelley D. Ellison
