FS2002/2004 Special effects for Spitfire-Seafire
================================================
Effects
--------
-Effects include new start-up smoke, individual exhaust-stack flames in four phases: orange start-up,
soft blue @ idle, more flame @ cruise,
exhaust smoke. Flame size and brightness controlled by XML gauge using throttle position. Also wingtip vortex
controlled by XML gauge using "G" force.
gun flashes and gun sound .
-The wing vortices are G-force activated - as in real life. They are automaticly triggered by the smoke switch.
-Wing cannon with flash, smoke and falling cartridges can be triggered with the standard Strobe key (O).
It is much nicer however if you use the trigger from your joystick.
-These effects are triggered by lights switch. Please press the if you want to see the special effects.
-NOTE : it is a good idea if you replace the standard (L) key for lights by the L+CTRL, (normaly activating the landing lights only). This avoids you having to have all lights on when pulling the trigger, because light must be on to see some effects.
