Herb...
Thanks. Yeah, we actually had little to no storm activity here. The closest it got was Arkansas. It really nailed other states though.

After reading your through your posts and looking at the pics, I'm guessing you MAY have an earlier install AIRCRAFT.CFG file? When I did EG_Smoke_DARK and EG_Smoke? The newest AIRCRAFT.CFG [smoke] section should read like this...
[SMOKESYSTEM]
smoke.0= -10.00, 0.00, 0.00, fx_dummy
smoke.1= -6.00, 0.00, 0.90, fx_F18_gun_smoke
smoke.2= -17.35,-0.53,-2.32, fx_AOA_green
smoke.3= -17.35,-0.53,-2.45, fx_AOA_amber
smoke.4= -17.35,-0.53,-2.58, fx_AOA_red
smoke.5= -62.50, 2.00, 0, fx_F18_EG_Smoke_R
smoke.6= -62.50,-2.00, 0, fx_F18_EG_Smoke_L
smoke.7= -62.50, 2.00, 0, fx_F18_EG_Smoke_R
smoke.8= -62.50,-2.00, 0, fx_F18_EG_Smoke_L
smoke.9= -19.00, 0.00, 1.50, fx_F18_MedG_LEXVapor
//NOTE: I BOLDED these particular "smoke effects" because they are the ones that have to read as such. Also, in your PANEL folder you need to have the latest FX Folder as well, that makes use of these effects.
Additionally, you need to have the fx_F18_EG_Smoke effect in your FSX\EFFECTS folder.
Let me know if you check that... and if everything is installed correctly, and you still dont get the smokes, something is wrong with your install. I may have to meet you on Skype to fix, OK?
