	OK, I give up, I have searched searched trying to find an answer and I'm �hoping someone out there can help me. I flew my AA 777-200 from Honolulu to Kai Tak, which is about a 13 flight. after I landed I taxied to Gate #2 and I noticed vapor coming out from under the plane. I think I have seen the same thing in flight, but I have never seen it parked at the gate. I have flown the same flight with the same plane trying to duplicate the effect, but haven't been able to. Has anyone out there experienced the same effect? I would love to know how it happens, looks pretty realistic parked at the gate. Dan �

	Well you might be right about the fuel leak, because no matter what I do I can't get it to repeat the effect. Thanks

	Next time you see it or anything else strange in FSX hit the 'V' key and capture it for the world to see.

	Buddy, I think there was never a fuel leak nor anything like that. This effect, I believe, is made when the aircraft moves in either a rainy day, a wet tarmac, or a frosty environment for example. Try spawing in, I don't know, at Deadhorse in Alaska with real weather loaded, and go ahead and taxi or set parking brakes and apply some thrust to see if that effect was what you were looking for.

	This effect can be seen in rain and snow, when there is a surface wind. In the attached image, the default A321 is not moving, but you can see what looks like vapour underneath it.

That explains why I seem to have an ever increasing amount of screenshots in my FSX folder! Now I finally know where they have all come from...

The worst thing about it is that they are BMP files of about 7.7MB each (in my case), whereas converting them to JPG files, they are only 713KB (1/10 the size) and so that saves a lot of space too. It is too time consuming to convert them all though. I wish MS had made it so they were saved as the smaller JPGs instead of BMPs.

	Yes, they are very heavy. I just have another folder full of FSX snapshots where I cut/paste new pics I took lately. I'm not sure if the memory they use actually affects FSX but I've had problems with memory before so, just in case.
