engine custom FX

[amankd]

i have an FX called PeliFlame, i am attempting to reference it in the config to make it appere, i have thrust and i did have smoke until i deleated, could someone have a look over the config to see if they can spot any issues?

Well,there are some mistakes,but i don't know if you are trying to modify stock aerospike,or you have custom model.I guess you have copied the configs from stock "turbofan",but you need only one effect name for aerospike.Try to provide some more information so i can help you with *.cfg.

it is a compleatly custom fx seperate to the aerospike, i just coppied the config from the aerospike originally

I know its custom FX,but are you using aerospike engine model or you made your own engine?

own model

it all produces thrust so the thrust teransforms work

is ther a max number for thrust transforms?

If you want some "fine tune",then you need to provide both model(engine,effect).
