Smoke-Pod
Over the years, I've seen many great smoke pods on this website, but they all have two things in common: If you handle them too roughly, they have a chance of exploding. And even if it doesn't explode, what if you want to land? There's no way to turn them off, and the only "efficient" way of turning them off is detaching them, and once you do that, you can't even use it anymore. So I thought to myself, what can I do to make the best smoke pod in SimplePlanes? And I came up with this. Introducing, one of the best smoke pods in SimplePlanes.
Now you may be wondering, "what's so different about this one?" Well, I'm glad you asked. Instead of using explosive rockets, or missiles as the source of the smoke trail, it uses flares. There are multiple advantages to this, such as being able to turn them off. The flares disintegrate after a few seconds, so therefore, they won't still be smoking when you've landed. They also don't explode, which is very reassuring to any pilot. Plus, they're easy to use too! All you need to do is hold down on the flare button, and you have a nice looking smoke trail in seconds. If you want to turn it off, just let go of the button! Tips: I advise that when you attach one of these to your plane, make sure that there aren't any parts of the plane clipping through it, otherwise it won't work. If you want to use one of these, the grabbing point is highlighted in red. Also, please don't use these like countermeasures, it'll only make it easier for missiles to hit you XD.
Have Fun!

@MegaFox ooh, that's a smart idea! I'll see what I can do, but as of now the only way to have it constantly deploy flares for the smoke effect is to hold down on the button.
@AWESOMENESS360
Could you make one that does a constant loop? If you did I’d love to use one for my steam ships.
@EliteArsenals24 thanks!
Very Smart
@Roswell, nop i can‘t (mobile)
@Roswell I think it would be cool if you could change the color of the flare smoke, or even the flare itself!
@Strikefighter04 Indeed It is that's one thing that I'm hoping that will get change In 1.8 along with other XML options
Oh, well that's dumb. @Roswell
@CrazyCatZe @Strikefighter04 you can't change
Input
on countermeasuresVery interesting
@Strikefighter04, jej
Maybe I can help. @CrazyCatZe
@Strikefighter04, i canˋt mod:(
Can you not just change the flare input to Throttle? @CrazyCatZe @AWESOMENESS360
@AWESOMENESS360, :(
@CrazyCatZe I don't think so, and I don't think you can XML Mod it to be throttle either, sorry.
Is there a way to put ths on throttle?
@AWESOMENESS360 yay😎
@FalconGT12 Then this is perfect for you! 😉
But what if I want to get hit
