Smoking engines on Stratocruiser

[Sid2008]

Hi, Just a simple question about the A2A Boeing 377 for FSX. After takeoff, i lower throttles and prop RPM so that all needles are in the "green". Soon thereafter the engines start to smoke as if we are having a barbecue. I fiddle with the cowl flaps and intercooler flaps but to no avail. Pressing F2 tells me all 4 engines are very happy. So, how do I get my engines to quit smoking?
Thanks,
Sid

Turn off 'auto mixture' in the FSX realism settings.

Thank you, I will try that tonight.

Patches?


Gum?


Hypnotherapy?


No?


I'll get my coat...

Haha, the latest trend seems to be the electronic cigarette. Although I would recommend going cold turkey.

I have one... its actually rather good. USB charger for the battery... refillable... neat, and works... There's something about fire though... *grin*


Though to be honest, after a guy in the UK got pounced on by all the kings horses et al, when johnny simpleton reported him as having a bomb on an intercity bus... I'll be keeping mine at home...

Though its a pity for the antismoking campaign that they didn't slot him... they'd have had a real case with 'smoking kills' then.

Thanks Ferry, have to try that too. Up to now, the fun with the A2A Strat has been to see how far away from the airport I can get, and still have time to turn around and make it back before all the engines quit. And this is without "Accu-auto-engines-explode" installed.
