Re: Change flare smoke size
As side note, in latest version YSFlight ver.20181124 if enable "Draw Burning Smoke by Particles" (in menu "Option > Config > Graphics > Smoke Type") there is PNG file ('../misc/particle_tile.png') which used as textures for flares & missiles smoke particles. So, its possible to play with it (by editing in image editor) to customize representation of smoke in some way.waspe414 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 4:24 pm Unfortunately no, that's baked into the code. You can change the mesh of the flare with the WPNSHAPE line though. Have a look in the .dat variables topic for more details
Otherwise there is option in in-game context menu to switch representation of smoke between SOLID/DOT/NOODLE/TOWEL:
- Press CTRL key during game to open context dialog;
- Press M key to switch between SOLID/DOT/NOODLE/TOWEL smoke representation;
- Press Esc key to close context dialog.
See also menu "Option > Config > Graphics > Smoke Type" (if needed, uncheck/disable "Draw Burning Smoke by Particles" to activate "Smoke Type" drop-down list).

Re: Change flare smoke size
One more question: Is the direction of flare released baked in the code?

Re: Change flare smoke size
Have a look at the stock C-130 .dat (open with Notepad), or the .dat variables topic
