Who knows if this is possible?

Hello Simpleplanes community

So I'm making a GA aircraft and I want to try making a working exhaust.

So what I want to know is if there is an input to make something activate at a certain throttle. For example, have a beacon light only activate at 20% throttle.
I want to be able to apply this sort of command to a gun at something like 1-3% throttle to make it look like smoke is coming out the exhaust.

If somebody knows if this command input exists and know how to do it, please tell me

    yeah, I was going to try that too. I was just originally thinking that a puff of smoke from the exhaust when the engine starts would appear and that the gun part could mimic it. Like in FSX when you start up the Cessna 172

    First of all, you can’t set guns to different inputs anyways...
    But you can do an excellent exhaust effect with jet engines inside the pipe, look at my Martin Patriot or my Martin Explorer for an example
