SF2:E... Any way to turn off engine smoke?

[Rampstrike 0]

As the topic states, can engine smoke be turned off? Is it tied to a specific Graphics setting, or is in an .ini edit? And I have the same question for the volumetric clouds. I'm running SF2:E with the NF4+ pack and the new MF Tomcat (which is balls, by the way! Thanks to everyone involved!) but I'm using an older laptop and it seems like the clouds and smoke really kill my framerates, which as you know, can mean death in combat! I like the current level of detail (mostly set to Medium, except Mirrors, Shadows, and Water set to Low/None), so if I can remove the smoke and/or clouds without having to change it, that would be preferred.

 

Thanks for any help, gents!

 

Cheers,

Ramp

You can edit the data.ini of each plane, find the line "ExhaustEmitterName=whateveritshere" and replace it with "ExhaustEmitterName=".

Try setting Effects to Low?
