jpcambre 3 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I'm having trouble getting the smoke effects to work and I also noticed that there are no contrails at cruise. I guess I might try a reinstall but I believe XMLTools is installed correctly. Everything else seems to function as normal. I know there are specific conditions necessary for smoke but I am not seeing it at all at take off via an extra window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Michael2 236 Posted January 6, 2019 Developer Share Posted January 6, 2019 XMLTools isn't necessary for the smoke. I just tested my 2.0 install (are you on P3D?) and I see smoke on takeoff. The smoke effect is fairly subtle. The earlier turbojet variants made a lot of smoke, but the fanjets in the 50 series produced less. To see it clearly you need a light background such as blue sky or white cloud. If you pause the sim and rotate the external view a little you should be able to see it. If not, let us know and I will look into it more. I checked a flight at cruise as well and I definitely have contrails. In the FSX/P3D graphics settings there are two sliders for effects. Do you have one or both set all the way to zero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpcambre 3 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 I'm using P3d and I have both sliders on High. I reinstalled and I do see the smoke now, but still no contrails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpcambre 3 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Weird now they are showing up. I guess it could have been weather conditions. But I was at FL 350 and the OAT was around -48C earlier and there were no contrails earlier. Edit: I think I know what it was... I have Old Prop PrecipitFX installed. I re-ran it and it replaced the default effects entry in the aircraft.cfg for the DC-8. Apparently the old default effect wouldn't show up with PrecipitFX installed.
