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.

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.
