How to create two cool spray effects [fs9]

[rapax]

• I am going to show you how you can easily add two nice spray effects to your PA A32X.

• 

• At first you need to download these two files:
  FS2004 Reverser Spray by Edward Cox (for thrust reverser effect)
  flightsim or avsim
  
  Rainwash Effect by Dennis Franke (for take off effect) v2.1 + fix
  avsim & avsim
  or
  flightsim & flightsim

• Install all effects following the instructions given in the readme files.
  Add the following lines to your [Window00] section of you panel.cfg.("replacing the XX with the next number that follows the last gauge line in that section")
  
  for the reverser spray:
  gaugeXX=revspray!revspray, 0,0,10,10 // Reverser splash
  
  for the take off effect:
  gaugeXX=spray!rain_spray, 0,0,10,10 //for engines water spray
  gaugeXX=spray!gear_spray, 0,0,10,10 //for the main gear
  gaugeXX=spray!front_gear_spray, 0,0,10,10 //for the front wheel

• Once you are finished you can add the following lines to your aircraft.cfg.
  ("replacing the XX with the next number that follows the last gauge line in that section")
  
  [LIGHTS]
  ...
  light.XX = 8, -9.28, 19.34, 0, Rainwash_s
  light.XX = 8, -10.52, -19.03, 0, Rainwash_s
  
  
  [SMOKESYSTEM]
  ...
  smoke.XX= 0.0, 8.0, -20.0, Opensky_revspray
  smoke.XX= 0.0, 8.0, 20.0, Opensky_revspray
  
  *works for the PA A318, A319 and A320

• Congrats, that's all.
  
  
  Now start a flight in rain or snow and make sure to switch to panelview first to activate our panel.cfg entries (panel by ken mitchell)
  
  
  Once you bring your N1 to 49% and above the take off effect will show up
  
  
  Once you are airborne the effect will automatically stop 20ft above ground
  
  
  
  
  Active thrust reversers will show this effect
  
  
  Make sure to switch of the jetheat by pressing ctrl+w (only available for A318 and A319) to avoid this effect
  
  Here are some videos featuring the spray effect

  Hope you like it and I wish you many wet runways

Sweet, gonna try it on the A380

[Inbreker]

Cool. Could it work in FSX? Or are there differences in effects files etc between FSX and FS9?

I've just tried it in FSX (with the A319) and it seems to work pretty well

EDIT: Just realised from the reply below why the effect seems a bit 'off' on my system

[AirNewZealand_A320]

You would have to rearrange the effect placements. i think in FS9 it goes long, lat, vert. i know that FSX is different but im not sure what.

Wonderful effect! thanks for reporting it!

[sknepper]

Thanks allot for those tips and nice screenshots rapax. Nice one that man

[dotsalgon]

Nice effects indeed but...
I have tried it in the past...
I do not want to mess with the lights again! It gave me alot of bugs!
Lights are for lights not for smoke effects...

Cheers
