No touchdown smoke / effect !!! HELP!

Featured Replies

Hello!I "suddenely" stopped seeing the smoke effect when the aircraft touches down! I've tried few approaches, like reinstalling FS9 and trying the original aircraft without any upgrades, checking the aircraft.cfg files for the entries relevant to this effect, reverting to the older Radeon drivers, only thing I did not try is reinstall XP. But I also don't think that this brings much.I've checked with all possible planes, both GA and Heavies, deom 737, 747 and 777 original, and PSS and PMDG aircraft. None give that nice tire smoke effect when one touches down. And I simply cannot find the solution!Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Please disregard, as it seems, it doesn't work on some airports. Those are around 5-10% of the all FS airports, and as it seems, I was fixed on one airport and was wondering why it isn't working.When I tried another airport, I got the smoke.Sorry.
