PipsPriller,
There are two patches that I know about. There is Garp's Flameout Patch, which you can get from Wings of Valor in the Scenery, Etc. section. I've never tried it.
Then there is Kessler's old PL-fxpack, which if I recall includes not only flames and smoke, but also enhanced AAA puffs. If you ever had the Promised Land All-Seasons patch or Full Canvas Jacket, or if you have used the OTE-PL scenery from Hell's Angels, you will know what these effects look like. They can be pretty spectacular. It is not available anywhere online now, but I can send it to you if you like.
S!
