I have found that if you have a ship with out them FS2 dose not let them show so if you whant to have say the Gorgon in a neb you have to have these on it.

If you don't have the trails on, they won't show up, but the fighter still works in the nebula.

Do what I do... Copy the coorns. of the engine plumes from the pof data, and make each plume have a trail. Tada! Simple!

From the FS2 ship creation guide by Ian Paul Andrews:
9. Thruster Plumes
To create a thruster plume you need a sub-object called thrusterXX. WhereXX is a number referring to the engine to which the thruster plume belongs. The thruster plume is scaled depending on the ship's thrust. The scaling is done from the axis. So the axis should really go somewhere near the base of the flame. For an animated flame texture, texture your plume with thruster.ani from sparky.vp.


IPAndrews calls them plumes, I call them plumes.

Yes, I take the coorns of the plumes from the pof, and put them in the tbl where it asks for trail coorns works fine. I don't see why no one gets it...?

Hmm... but the trails are really where it 'cuts' into the nebula gas, like on a sharp edge - i.e. the Herc II's droppy down bit (whatever you call it).

  Whenever you say "Plumes" you are praising Andrews as god... do you really want that?

I praise him as nothing more than the great model creator he is. And I like to say plumes rather than thruster flames.

I was being serious. That is one vary good way to make trails... I don't see why I have to keep seeing "Last post by: Dragonclaw" For every forum. He argues just to spam.  Frankly, I am sick of all the blatant spam... And DC, don't come ***** to me about this post on ICQ... cause I will not respond. And I will not argue with you about it. Over. End of case.

Lol, calm down... It's always considered spam because it's always one thing you post, and most likely  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif) or  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif), or  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/devil.gif)... then you'll say that its a devil with a thin pipe... etc...

No, it isn't. The trails you see in nebula missions are supposed to represent wingtip vortices, not engine trails. Therefore, they should only be placed at model tips.
