This tweak was inspired by a discussion in Aussiex.org. Alabeo C188 has nice WDE model (the one without the spray boom), which has a fertilizer dispenser system modeled. So why not try to convert the WDE model for fertilizing or firefighting.
Do this at your own risk, I did a couple of test flights and it seems to work well. There are some nice free fertilizer and fire retardant effects around to try out.
------------------------
Copy the panel.cfg of 'regular' model to WDE model and copy everything from 'regular' model's aircraft.cfg below the [fltsim.X] entries to WDE model's aircraft.cfg, below [fltsim.X] entries.
Then modify the smokesystem to this:
[SMOKESYSTEM]
smoke.0=-6.00, 0, -2.3, fx_cropdust
-------------------------
You can then replace the fx_cropdust entry with either fire retardant effect or fertilizer, and you have fully working model, with loader gauge and reducing weight. You might have to tweak the smoke system contact point depending the effect you like to use.
