It's nice to see updates coming out now and the new process could prove to be excellent.

However, I'm not sure if I like the new exhaust efflux effects - they can hardly be seen at all. Actually you might argue that they're more realistic now, but the original version looked good and it was something new we don't normally see in FSX much. I understand it was done due to performance issues - can there at least be an option for selecting the full effect for those of use who didn't have any performance issues?

The same issue applies to the contrails - they seem to have been downgraded with this update. Looked much better before.

There's also a bug with the external power cart vehicles - the towing vehicle now consists of 2 small purple blocks and a light - no 3D model is visible. I'm sure this will get resolved.

Yeah they look terrible now IMO.  Just looks like a bunch of dust in the air.
