A few years ago I downloaded a patch for Milton's D18 which enabled progressive exhaust smoke and flame according to the throttle opening, a very effective piece of eye-candy!!
Following a re-install about a year ago I still have the smoke effect but, despite countless attempts at rectification, I have "lost" the flame. The patch was called "d18smoka" which I am certain a lot of you will be familiar with, I have re-downloaded, re-installed, checked and double checked, followed instructions to the letter and still no flame. Has anyone else experienced this and if so is there a remedy or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any help

Try turning on the lights.
if i'm not mistaken, the flame is tied in with the lights.

Yes, but you also have to make entry to panel.cfg of XML gauge: Here is the whole burrito:

Install: Very EZ:
(1). put the entire folder coco-gauges in the gauges folder of your Fs,
(2). put the 2 Fx files in the effects folder of your Fs,
(3).then backup the Aircraft.cfg file, next open it (with notepad) and add to the light section:
light.10 = 8, 7.5, -6.5, 0.036, fx_coco_d18FlameL,
light.11 = 9, 7.5, -6.5, 0.036, fx_coco_d18FlameL,
light.12= 6, 7.5, 6.5, 0.036, fx_coco_d18FlameR,
light.13= 7, 7.5, 6.5, 0.036, fx_coco_d18FlameR,
(4).Then open the panel.vc folder, again backup, next open the panel.cfg files
and add to the [window00] section: (Same thing for the panel.novc folder.)
gauge63=Coco-gauges!CocoFXControlTwinjet.xml, 0,0
(5).Please, you need to go into the cockpit 2D once for activate the gauges.
(Normally when you load a plane the first sight is the panel, so .... )
