January 23, 201412 yr Hi All: I don't know if this is specific to my FSX set up or not, but upon landing at KBOS (Fly Tampa) today, I noticed that there was no tire smoke. I checked my FSX Effects folder and found the effect fx_tchdwn.fx to be present. I then checked the Effects Texture folder and found fx.smoke to be present. The aircraft cfg file showed touchdown=fx_tchdwn,1 Hmmm? I then went to KBGR (Bangor) and KORH (Worcester) (both in the Northeast) and still no tire smoke on landings. Season was default Winter. What I got upon landings was a small amount of snow trails, but no tire smoke. I then went to VHHH in Winter season (no snow on the ground) and upon landing, got tire smoke! Then came back to KMCO (Orlando), still Winter season, and got tire smoke on landing. Would be interested to know if you show similar results. Is the tire smoke effect affected by geographical location to season? Thanks Chris
