How does one remove Jet particles? (Resolved)

[BlueNightfury00786]

So as I can't find anyone's resolved issue about this (and I am not sure where to put this post.), I want to remove the particles that trail from Jet engines. I find them annoying and even attempted to remove the line of code to one of them that adds the trail behind it. Doesn't work all that much, is there something out there that resolves that?

You should be able to edit it out of the configs, or safer, use module manager. Are you playing stock and are you using Real Plume?

Yup! Editing the part files.

Go into the gamedata folder, then Squad (or whatever mod), then parts, then engines, then the jet engine file you want. Junos are under "miniJet", wheesleys under jetEngineBasic, whiplashes under jetEngineTurbo, goliaths under jetEngineBig, and panthers under jetEngineAfterburning. Open the config file.

This is the hard part. You want to find this section, in red. Its under the effects section, near the bottom of the config file. Remove it, bot not before you make a backup in case you screw anything up.

Then after rebooting the game, you should find that the jet trails are gone. I've done this personally on my junos, and it dos work.

I did that, it doesn't work for me. Didn't you read this part? "-even attempted to remove the line of code to one of them that adds the trail behind it."

I did. You might have done it wrong? It doen't really help if you are that vague. Like, can you show us a picture of that section?

Also I wasn't trying to be vague, I said

"I want to remove the particles that trail from Jet engines. I find them annoying and even attempted to remove the line of code to one of them that adds the trail behind it. Doesn't work all that much, is there something out there that resolves that?"

How is that Vague?

Also I did that already , I still get a Smoke trail.

Cause you don't describe exactly or show exactly what you removed?

I removed what you said that would get rid of the trails for what I asked.

It should have worked. Are you by any chance running any mods?

[BlueNightfury00786]

How would a mod effect a line of code? And no not exactly. But I just did what you just showed, ill see if it worked.

Apparently it didn't save the Cfg when I told it to.

Looks like you're trying to modify the game? And so the thread has been moved to the modding subforum.

What engine are you taking about and can you post the cfg ?

The Juno Engine. Every time I get rid of the said thing that makes the Trail effect, it doesn't go away. And how do I post a Cfg?

(After of what I said above) Oh that would explain alot, I was editing the wrong thing. If Squad had named things less confusing in their files, this would've been a piece of cake for me. Agh. The jet I wanted to edit was called "MiniJet"

Guessing you got it now if not it should look like if it's just the smoke trail you don't want
