TF-51D smoke trail mod help

[Precog]

Hi guys, hoping one of you experienced modders can help me with this one.

 

I want to practice some aerobatics in the TF-51D but it seems like you cannot activate smoke trails for this aircraft. I presume it would be pretty easy to add this mod?

 

Any help appreciated, cheers :)

I have a related solution, adding FC3 smoke pods to the P-51D Mustang:

 

Plane config at:

DCS World\Scripts\Database\planes\P-51D.lua

 

Adding desired weapons to desired pylons like this:

           { CLSID = "{A4BCC903-06C8-47bb-9937-A30FEDB4E741}" },
           { CLSID = "{A4BCC903-06C8-47bb-9937-A30FEDB4E742}" },
           { CLSID = "{A4BCC903-06C8-47bb-9937-A30FEDB4E743}" },
           { CLSID = "{A4BCC903-06C8-47bb-9937-A30FEDB4E744}" },
           { CLSID = "{A4BCC903-06C8-47bb-9937-A30FEDB4E745}" },
           { CLSID = "{A4BCC903-06C8-47bb-9937-A30FEDB4E746}" },

Weapon IDs can be found in the weapon database at:

DCS World\Scripts\Database\db_weapons_data.lua

 

However, for the TF-51D I am unable to locate a plane config file... I don't know exactly how they implemented the TF-51D but maybe they just scripted the TF to be the P-51D with the "civilian box" from the editor checked. Then it could came out without an own plane config. But maybe someone other knows more^^

You can find the TF-51D.lua here: DCS World\Mods\aircraft\TF-51D\TF-51D.lua

The TF-51D uses pretty much the same FM and cockpit base as the P-51D does. I've already tried adding the smoke pods to the TF-51D but upon rearming, simply nothing happens. Ground crew told me they're doing so but they didn't. Guess the best solution would be to go with the P-51D.
