It wasn't me!

I didn't do it, I swear! It just blew! There I was, minding my own business, trying to take pictures of this beautiful New Zealand Navy SBD, when it started smoking!

I could have swore I picked the "Easy Flight Model" for the barely competent pilots of the "FSX AI Squadron" to fly, but maybe not... And in truth she started smoking on the runway before take off.

What is pretty darned funny if you ask me is that the smoke puffs pouring from the plane do not pause when you pause the sim. They keep drifting forward, so that after a while you can pretend it's a flak barrage!

Definitely looks like flak, you sure that isn't over occupied territory Paul?

Well, thats Guadalcanal over yonder, and we're over "Iron Bottom Sound", so I guess Admiral Turner's boys were a little trigger happy. Have to get them the latest aircraft recognition books!

Nothing like blowing your engine over friendly ground....lol

Could just be a blown head gasket....wait, that is an AIR cooled radial. Oops!
