I'm just wondering if there is any way to do this? The L-049 and the L-749 have it but not the L-1049. I miss my engine startup 'smoke city' moment!

It’s in the Effects section of the plane’s aircraft.cfg file. The locations should be the same, I would think.

Mine has it - quite a lot of it - and I didn't do anything special to get it. Have you put the Effects in the effects folder?

Check that the aircraft.cfg has this section,
[effects] wake = fx_wake water = fx_spray dirt = fx_tchdrt concrete = fx_sparks touchdown = fx_tchdwn, 1 //contrail = fx_1649a_contrail //startup = fx_1649a_engstrt startup = fx_1049_engstrt3 windshield_rain_effect_available = 1
and check that the main effects folder has that startup file.
Any problems then come back.

The L-1049 has 'fx_1049_engstrt' (rather then engstrt3) as the FX file. But there isn't any engstrt texture in the texture folder in the L1049 download. Messing around with it after seeing this post and how it works, I got it to work copying what was in the L749 cfg.

Sorry, I now see that the release versions indeed had fx_1049_engstrt.fx. The "3" version adds smoke and flame to the engine's upper left side exhaust but otherwise the same as release so the latter still ought to work.
These fx files have coding to place the smoke and flames emitters at the exact position of that model's exhaust ports so using the 749 version will give you smoke but not at the right places.
There is no engstrt bitmap. For smoke it uses fx_1.bmp which I'm sure you have in Effects/texture and fx_1649A_smokea.bmp for flames.
Hope this helps although it doesn't really explain your initial no smoke problem. If you want the later version send me a PM with your email address.

Hi again,
I've just discovered why I have fx_1049_engstrt3.fx! Go to Flightsim downloads and search "super_constellation_fde_upgrade.zip". It has a complete new set of aircraft.cfg's, effects files, bitmaps and panel upgrades.
That should solve everything.
