July 28, 20178 yr If you want them gone, just use Plane Maker, and under Engines, Dirty Exhaust , set the rating to .001 That will give you the heat shimmer, but no corny black puff balls...that looks like the engine has indigestion. LOLOLOL! That gets rid of it. You need to do this for every plane that you want them gone...
July 28, 20178 yr Hi Mitch, Do you mean the hot air shimmering effect? I remember a plugin at the org for XP10, don't remember the name but was something HDR shimmering... What I would like to know is how to turn the vapor contrails from grey to white. Cheers, Alexander Colka

Cheers, Uh no..not the shimmering. I like that...it was the dirty exhaust, dorky looking black puff balls. I just used Plane Maker...and dropped the rating to .001. That did the trick. :) BTW, grabbed the latest nVidia driver suite 384.94...and am rocking along at 50 FPS!

The last I heard about contrails, there are improvements on the way that require particle effects to be fully enabled, and that isn't in yet. Maybe that's coming in v1.10?

July 28, 20178 yr Can I clarify please. Are we talking about engine exhaust that spews out of the planes engines, dark brown, looks like a bloody engine fire? I hate this exhaust effect. Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3

Austin must have a really smokey Lancair, with this default setting. X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator on Windows 10 i7 6700 4.0 GHz, 32 GB RAM, GTX 1660 ti, 1920x1200 monitor

So this is my first attempt at using the plane maker, lauched, looking for something called dirty exhaust under all sorts of headings can't find it. OK found it under SFC/Sound tab. Perfect let me give it a go. Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3
July 28, 20178 yr I saw my payware SSG 748 with an AI flying it. At first I thought it was a meteor because there was dark smoke cloud behind it that was visible before the jet. Strangely when I fly it I don't get the heavy black smoke... Steve McNitt
July 29, 20178 yr OK what am I doing wrong! I open a plane in plane marker. I select STANDARD TAB > SFC/SOUND TAB> bottom right corner there is "exhaust dirtiness" - I dial down to 0.01. I save the plane and try loading that model, still the same, great big puffs of smoke. Tried rebooting the sim and same thing. BTW I'm talking about a plane sitting on the tarmac with engines running. Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3

I haven't tried this myself, I just noticed the discrepancy between yours and Mitch's number. Hopefully you can get it to work.
