Trying to make a longer more persistent smoke generator trail

Okay so I found where the effect is modified and it's quite a different sytem than I thought, it's basically calculated like a spline or something and smoke appears on it, it's tied with the max lenght, but I eventually figured it out, but maybe not everything.

 

But it's not working exactly as I hoped, as I had to increase segment length and other things, now the color part seems to be hardcoded and dissapears quickly than in previous tests where the smoke was very spread apart and very weak but it had color going for more total distance.

 

What I have right now:

 

Effect = {
{--дымогенератор
	Type = "smokeTrail",
	Texture = "smoke6_nm.dds",
	Tech = "Main",
	LODdistance = 30000, -- m
	
	ScaleBase = 2, -- meters
	
	Lighting = 1,
	
	DetailFactorMax = 25, -- max particles in segment = 2^(1+detailFactor). 5 - maximum
	
	Flame = false,
	Nozzle	= false,
	NozzleDir = -1,
	NozzleSpeedMin = 0,
	NozzleSpeedMax = 0,
	
	FadeInRange = 0, -- 0 - not used, or fadeInOpacity = saturate( (curHeight - startHeight) / FadeInRange )
	FadeOutHeight = 99999, --  0 - not used
	
	DissipationFactor = 15.0,
	
	Length = 35000, -- m
	SegmentLength = 40,	-- m
	FadeIn = 0,	-- m
},
}

 

 

This is the best I could get, but it doesn't look good up close when the smoke is deployed from the aircraft, because 40 segmentLength is still too high, but anything below 40 will crash the game in this case. The worst part is the colors are being faded out and only a bland white smoke remains.

Would it be possible to add different colors?

I'm talking about the black color

What do you mean?

I can create more than 3 smoke pods?

Or modifying the color, too?

Thank you

I'd still like to have black color, instead green...

Where exactly is the location of the smoke color ( payloads )?
