Here's the puff-of-smoke model that you need to put in Models/Geometry:

http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/puff.ac

Then you need a trigger binding.  I use the joystick trigger:

 
  Trigger
  
   property-assign
   /systems/submodels/submodel[0]/trigger
   true
  
  
   
property-assign
/systems/submodels/submodel[0]/trigger
false
   
  
 

Then you need to pick an airplane (I used the OV-10, which actually *does* 
have a smoke generator BTW) and set the path to the submodel system config:


 ...
  
   
Aircraft/c172/c172-electrical.xml
   
   
true
Aircraft/OV10/submodels.xml
   
   
 ...


Then put this in the submodels.xml config file in that aircraft's root 
directory:

  
smoke
Models/Geometry/puff.ac
systems/submodels/submodel[0]/trigger
0.0
true
0.1
4000
0.0
0.0
-4.0
0.0
0.0
1000.0
  


That should do it.  I guess the OV-10 would make a good demonstrator.  It's 
already the thunderstorm and weather radar demonstrator.

Oh man!  "Surrender Dorothy!" would make a great screenshot.

Hehethat's great!  Can we set that one up in the base package (so the
novice submodeler's can try it out)?  Which a/c did you use?

Best,

Jim
