fsx-se FSX SE Smoke effect not possible to activate?

[Emile 28]

Hello,

On my system I cannot activate the Smoke effect using the "I" key.

I have controlled the settings and the "I" key is selected

Win 8.1 FSX SE

 

Can you? If yes how?

Thanks in advance.

What aircraft are you using? It works fine for me on the P51 but it is not programed to work on all aircraft

Hello,

Thanks

I have noticed this as well. In the Steam edition I've found that there aren't any touchdown effects, the contrails look flat and lifeless, some addon aircraft don't have afterburner effects, and aerobatic aircraft don't have smoke.

 

Quite interesting, not a huge bother, but still one I'd like to fix nontheless.

Just found out that when you LOWER the level of special effects to e.g. medium you can see the effects again. Setting HIGH level of special effects give me zero effects. Seems to be a bug but for me it solved the effects issue for now. Not sure this works for all effects but just give it a try ;-)

By good golly Patrick, your right. Strange!

I reduced my setting to medium. Navigational lights seem to work, Water effects look good. Chimney smoke looks like bubbles :-(

thats probably the price for medium setting?

No special effects with high setting.  With Low & medium setting effects look about the same, as I describe above.

It works, all my effects are back after moving the slider to medium. Many thanks!
