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 Embarrassed. 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?
