No Startup Smoke A320 P3D2

Featured Replies

Gents, I'm running the A320 Immersion product on P3D2 with the Airbus A320 version 1.30f.  PrecipitFX is also installed.

 

Upon starting either engine, there is no smoke whatsoever when viewed from an external camera.

 

Any ideas?

What weather have you tried? (specially the temperature)

I was using live weather via ASN. Temps were over 80F.

From the manual:

 

ENGINE COLD START SMOKE

Igniting the engine in a cold environment may cause a condensation vapor cloud to occur when the temperature is below -5°C (23°F). The colder it gets, the more the effect will show.

 

Let me know if that works!

Great... I was unaware of that. I was accustomed to seeing smoke every single engine startup on the base Aerosoft model.

 

Thanks for your help.
