Can I change the FX on RCS exhaust?

[Sharpy]

Is there a way (preferably plugin-less) to change the FX of RCS exhaust? The RCS module in my mod uses a propellant that does produce a very visible, bright flame IRL, so I'd like to make it look like it.

Of course you can and is quite easy.All you need to do is,make your custom FX or borrow it from someone else,then replace this line:

MODULE
{
 name = ModuleRCSFX
 //-snip-
}

EFFECTS
{
 runnin
 {
 //-snip-
	MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE
	{
	modelName = //path to custom FX
	//-snip-
	}
 }		
}

Well yes see you have errors  but what did you change it to  ?  to see your CFG would help people help you better

This worked must be something in your CFG help it helps

@MeCripp Is that a file from 1.2? Because these sections are not present in my 1.1.3's file.

[Phineas Freak]

@Sharpy what version of KSP do you have? The ModuleRCSFX is only supported by KSP 1.2.

Well, that explains it. I was working with 1.1.3.
