Is there a guide about how to remove / change trails of ships?

[Knurrhahn]

Hello,
i would like to change some trails of the ships. i have downloaded the X3 Editor 2, and found the Tships-file, but whichever ship i open i can't find the options for the engine trails. Could somebody tell me under which name i can find them?

On the tab "Model" you find the "Particle Emitter" entry - this should be what you want.

thanks for your reply. i have set the particle emitter on all mercury ships to 0, but if i start a new game with the humble merchant for instance it is still there. do you have any idea how to change that? and do i have to start a new game, or will the changes also apply for saved games?

Starting a new games isn't required, but maybe you have a TShips.txt in the >types< folder, this would override the changes you made in the cat.
