I don't have this aircraft and I am not sure what would help. But possibly in the aircraft.cfg file there is an FX type file. See if there is and try commenting it out. Don't forget to backup the file first.

Hit "I" to turn on / off your smoke system, that should solve your problem.

This looks like the 'water spray' effect when taking off/landing on a wet runway, or travelling along a wet taxiway. I've had a similar problem where taking off on a wet runway has produced 'spray' that has persisted under the aircraft for the whole flight, almost like my own personal cloud following me. Even landing at a dry airport, the 'spray' persisted, and continued even at the gate after engine shutdown.JAFB (Just another FSX bug).By the way the 'water spray' effect in FSX is diabolical. Looks more like the brakes are on fire, more often than not. :(
