You are correct. You basically closed the novel off.

I don't know, if this method is correct, but I changed the tenders .eng file from:


StackFX
(
0 4.475 3.842
0 0.9 0
0.275
)

to:

StackFX
(
0 4.475 3.842
0 0.9 0
0.0
)

This is the result:

I think I reduced the width of the nozzle / plume to 0. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't have any experience with those changes.

greetings,

That will work too. Though taking out the stack effect entirely will do just as well. As the effect isn't needed on the tender.

I've done that with all the tenders I've had that uses an eng file and since it don't need the stack effect, it's not necessary to keep such lines in the file.

This thread got me to wondering what kept the stack exhaust from showing up in MSTS?

Possibly the zero entries on the power side of the eng file. Since it is not an engine that needs any power.

These two entries in particular regulate the steam and smoke effects of the engine file in MSTS:

> SteamSmokeUnitsPerPoundOfFuel( 0 )
> SteamMaxSmokeUnitsReleaseRate( 0 )
