AI Engine fires

[ejoiner]

I have only seen this one time before as an anomaly but saw this twice in a single flight today. I downloaded the F-106 v2 by Rob Richardson, which is very nice by the way.... and as a first flight, flew his saved flight "Alaska Dawn" which is a take off from I think Elmendorf AFB at dawn. So I take off ,and immediately see not one, but two AI C-130's flying around with multiple engine fires each.

I flew to intercept to see whats up and got this quick picture. has anybody ever seen something like this? The AI is probably some MAIW stuff that I have installed, but no particular idea which of the many packages they have. This is FS9 AI, that I put in the right directories and converted to work in FSX. Just curious if anyone has seen this before and if I should regard it as kind of an easter egg, or its a problem I should fix. One bird woulda been interesting, but both Hercs tooling around had the same issue.http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/images/icons/icon9.gif

Check the Herc's aircraft.cfg, check the effects file they're using for engine smoke or contrails(?) (can be opened with Notepad) for a texture reference and then check if said texture is in Effects\Texture.

Thanks. good hint. I just went through the AI Herc aircraft.cfgs and deleted the [smokesystem] sections. That should fix it. I dont care about engine smoke on AI anyway.
