Edit:

I was thinking about this, it still moves a bit left right when the steer but not forward unless they brake or slow down.
oh ok, now I'm following you. Yes, I did set them up so that the wind affects them 100%.....I'll play around with this setting There's some others I can tweak also.

Any updates on this??
It work fine for me. One minor problem though. I have no smoke when moving backwards.

PS: How do you edit fx files?

not yet. Been very busy with the UIs mod that I haven't had time to work on anything else.
You are correct, there is no smoke when moving backwards. I haven't quite figured out how to do it correctly yet.
fx files require the wonderful tool the hex editor

Can you link it to engine RPM, instead of speed?

No. there is no controller that 'controls' FPGs and PGs by RPM. There is a controller that controls them via speed though and that's the one I use.
