Ray has been working on an update, and he has seen film of the Komet, with quite a smoky exhaust. He has been trying to get that effect but handballed it to me. So I did a bit of work on the Me-163 after checking out a real one Take-off: Near targets: You can see the curves in the smoke trail more clearly in this shot: The modified 160 exe can differentiate between the 163 and the V1: The normal V1 routine applies in this case Jel

Well,that was quick. Thank you very much.
Does the smoke disappear when the fuel runs out? I forgot to mention that parameter when we were talking yesterday.

Heck, even paranoids have enemies.

As a result of my response to Ray's last question at the Gen I had a new idea. Because 160 is slot free the old aircraft codes such as "262a" are no longer used by the exe in any routines. To confirm this I re-coded the "plane.dat" for the Me-163 with an aircraft code of "163B" and as I expected everything worked as it should do with no problems at all. This means that additional programming routines could be included based on the aircraft code and this opens up a heap of possibilities for new things

Then there was more Text handling in "C" is tricky, and in "plane.dat" a block of 8 bytes is reserved for one of the 30 plane-code ("p38h", "p38j"......".h111", "v1v1") text. Only four bytes were ever needed, as all plane-codes had four letters, and now in the slot free system none of them are needed because the exe does not use plane-codes in any routine. So each of those eight bytes is now an individual piece of data, (NewByte1....NewByte8), and they are numbers and not text. In a test of the Me-163 smoke exhaust I reprogrammed it to be triggered if NewByte1 = 65. I edited the "plane.dat" file accordingly, and flew the Me-136. The correct exhaust trail was visible, so I know that the system works
