Engine Smoke
Oct 2nd, 2012 at 10:58pm
Print Post  
Hey guys,

So Ive been flying the C-130 lately and I noticed that whenever I have the engines off, there is this light greenish smoke that hovers around beneath all four engines.

I tried loading cold and dark (using the default cessna) there was still smoke

I tried shutting down the entire plane on startup and there was still the smoke.

Any Ideas?

When I get back on the sim, ill try get a screenshot of it.

Is this the C-130H Japan AF model? Like in this image:



It does it to me too (as you can see in the image), so I went to FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_EX2_C130 opened the aircraft.cfg and changed this:

[fltsim.1]
title=CS C130Extra2 1
sim=C130
model=10
panel=
sound=
texture=jap
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=JAF
atc_airline=JAF
atc_flight_number=
ui_manufacturer=Lockheed
ui_type="C-130H"
ui_variation="Japan AF"
ui_typerole="Multi-Engine TurboProp"
ui_createdby="Captain Sim"
description="'C-130 X-perience' Pro Pack v.1.3\n(c) 2008 Captain Sim www.captainsim.com"
flg="Japan"


to this:

[fltsim.1]
title=CS C130Extra2 1
sim=C130
model=9
panel=
sound=
texture=jap
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=JAF
atc_airline=JAF
atc_flight_number=
ui_manufacturer=Lockheed
ui_type="C-130H"
ui_variation="Japan AF"
ui_typerole="Multi-Engine TurboProp"
ui_createdby="Captain Sim"
description="'C-130 X-perience' Pro Pack v.1.3\n(c) 2008 Captain Sim www.captainsim.com"
flg="Japan"


And I no longer get the smoke all the time. I am not sure what the differences are between exterior model #10 and model #9 are, but it was at least a way of stopping the engine smoke from being there all the time.

would it be a good idea to just delete model 10?

I guess there is no harm if you do. Wink

All

Sorry for the thread revival, but I was installing some new H model repaints and ran into the same problem.  Anybody have a fix for this?

I believe i found the issue...

Looking within the CS_EX2_C130>model10 and model10g I noticed that the (2) numbers showing within the model.cfg entries differ. Looking in the other model folders they do not differ.

Can this be confirmed as the issue?

Found this issue with a repaint using the JAF livery as my basis for the ACE compliant variant. Made the change in the model # designation and ended up without the "pig pen" smoke effect while static.

Thanks for the fix/workaround!

Appreciated!

One other thing I noticed....

Within the folder CS_EX2_C130>model there seems to be (2) entries missing under c-130-10.MDL

This is likely the reason for the smoke issue along with my previous post. Could the developers offer up a hotfix for this?

Is it possible to get the (2) missing files?

CS_EX2_C130>Model>c130-10_eicas_interior.MDL
CS_EX2_C130>Model>c130-10_interior.MDL

This is likely the reason for the static smoke effect after shutdown of engines when using the C-130H Japan AF model.

It is interesting that there is a c130-10.MDL, but there are no c130-10_eicas_interior.MDL, or c130-10_interior.MDL, in the CS_EX2_C130\Model folder, so you might be on the right track for why the Japanese C-130H is smoking!

Having said that, I have been using the default settings for the EICAS panel in the Japanese C-130H (c130-10.MDL, and c130-9_eicas_interior.MDL), for a long time, and I no longer have that problem. Undecided

Now that I've said that, what's the bet it gives me the problem the next time I use it!  Cheesy Shocked

Could this be hot-fixed soon? I know the aircraft is old but it seems to be an easy fix. Much appreciated.
