Title: No contrails on outer engines
Post by pilot on Jul 5^th, 2011 at 10:51pm

Has anyone else noticed that they have no dark engine smoke contrails on the outerboard engines? I just purchased the 1.3 version while it was on sale and have inboard(2&3) engine smoke on full throttle but no outerboard(1&4) smoke :-[. Any help is aprreciated.

edit:p/s this is only with the ADV model, the B model seems ok.

I had never noticed it so I took each of the different 707-300's up for a flight to check it out.
ALL the different models were emitting black exhaust from all four engines.

It shouldn't make any difference (I don't think) because they are all using the same aircraft.cfg file.

A reinstall needed perhaps?

Never mind. User error, I emptied the aux and central tanks to lighten the weight before loading the flight and so engines 1 and 4 were off coz there wasn't any fuel...DUH! Thanks anyway Mark. :P
