DunRingill Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hello! I bought EGNX and it's very nice with practically no impact on FPS. I don't know how that is even possible considering the amazing details But I really wish there was an option in the control panel to toggle the smoke fx on or off. It does not look very good, it's moving to fast in light wind and looks out of scale somehow. /Magnus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Yes I agree also as I have bought that airport and I ended up parked near these three chimneys and what you get is three black blobs at certain height above the chimneys and then the smoke as it is rising to the black blob which then disappears. Probably would look better if the colours were a bit lighter. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunRingill Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Yes I agree, lighter colour would look much better. As it is now, it also looks very strange when taking off at dawn or dusk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Smoke in X-Plane is awful. Full stop! Having black billowing smoke in scenery addons is a real turnoff. It is not realistic in any manner, shape or form. I would suggest removing the smoke altogether. What comes out of most power stations for example is steam from cooling towers not black smoke.

Nick Cooper Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I don't see any smoke or steam at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunRingill Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 @Nick Cooper It's the smoke coming out of the chimneys of a hangar on the airfield. I don't know what the hangar is for though. The smoke fx attached to these chimneys doesn't look very good and is a distraction from the otherwise excellent airport. Just imho of course. So an option in the controlpanel to switch it on or off would be great so you can use it if you like it and remove if you don't. /Magnus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hello, it looks like the smoke is coming out of the Air Livery building which the internet suggests is an aircraft repainting company. In that case, it might be more likely that the "chimneys" are in fact exhausts for the ventilation required when painting and never have smoke coming out of them, or maybe left over from a previous use of the building? Just a guess, I have never been there. Google Earth is a very useful thing though and street view is even better @Greg Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenicoll Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I asked this question in another topic and has yet to be answered. Basically chimneys chucking out Black smoke are from the 70's so maybe turning it off would be good Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMJD Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Yes plz off with the smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFella Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I´d also love an option to toggle the smoke. As long as there is wind, its ok - not great, but ok. But if no wind is blowing, which happens at times, it looks horrific in my eyes. A little toggle option would be lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
