KBWI sparks and brown smoke

Post by jafo_326 » Thu Jan 19, 2023 5:07 pm

hi there,

when I get sparks and brown smoke below the aircraft. Unfortunately the size of the pic is too big for the forum. I can send it via email though.

Does anybody has a similar problem??

Thank you,

Jahil

I too am having this issue at A and B gates, etc. Not the entire airport. This is in P3DV5.3. I think there is an elevation issue in P3DV5.3. It works fine in p3Dv4.5

I have this too. Seems to occur somewhere between the right main landing gear and engine #2 on the NGX, over at least the western half of the airport.

If I'm not mistaken, it also only happens with the "summer" textures enabled.

I also have smoking effects during Pushback and Taxiing too. The smoke disappears and reappears again. To me it happens starting from Gate D 11. How to fix it?

It appears that the recent update of P3dv5 has caused this issue, we will investigate and see why.

I have this issue but only at certain gates. I was troubleshooting for hours and finally changed the gate for my 737 and the issue went away.
