Thanks buddy. Does it have a control .xml? If not, will just rename it and plug it into the control .xml I have for the current EG Smoke.

Just got done modding/tweaking the old Sludge_FX effects files. After actually reading parts of the SDK and learning what most of the values are, how to manipulate them... I gave it a shot with some really decent results. IMO.
The Hi-G/AoA effect is now alot less obnoxious, more transparent, and is not as "puffy".
The EG Smoke effect is a thinner, darker greyish/black color, that is higher in transparency and doesnt look like a giant gas blob behind the jet. I cut out the other two leading "nozzle" thrust effects, as they didnt add much to the overall effect and the result is a nice jet out the back that's a lot less frame rate killing than before... you can be the judge.
If you have the Sludge FX Hornet installed, make sure to back up (.bak) your old files. Then download and unzip these two effects files, copy/paste them into the FSX/EFFECTS folder (overwrite? YES.) and it will be ready to go. Let me know what you think.
BTW, to those who are trying these effects out, please post some pictures or some video of your results... and any criticisms as well.

Seems too think and blunt to me.

"Too thick and blunt to me." Is that from actually flying with it, or from the pics? What do you mean, too blunt? Be specific because I'm just starting to understand how to manipulate effects to the point that I might be able to change it.

Blunt may not have been the right word, but its waay too noticeable (from the pics). In the Blue Angels videos, its kind of noticeable until you look hard at it. It also seems textureless and smooth.
