Smoke from the tires while taxing

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

as the title says, there is smoke coming from the tires during taxing. Before i post, i made a search here in this forum and i saw a similar post back in 2006 where someone wrote that it comes from the snow patches from the scenery and it affects the tarmac too. Is this really the reason or something else?

Thank you in advance

Is it not the effect of water being blown by the engines? I thought it was smoke when I saw it once, and I think there is a bug that keeps the spray being shown even when the aircraft is motionless with engines off...

It is probably snow. Try changing the time to Summer and see if you still see it.

@ James: It looks like the smoke comes directly from the tires and not blown by the engines. Also, i get this effect only when the airplane is taxing and not when it is on stop.

 

@ Henri: You are right when i change time i don't get this effect. Is there a way that i can eliminate this effect because it looks silly anyway.

 

Thank you so much both for your kind help

I had the same problem. You need to set the brakes up in FSUIPC to work in 'opposite' direction, otherwise they wind up applied all the time instead of OFF until you press the brake pedals! You can set a 'dead zone' at the top and bottom of the brake pedal throw - which will help as well. Most important is to set the brakes up to work in reverse to what is 'default'.
