Do you mean contrails ? I usually find they kick in at the appropriate altitude, you'll need to go into the settings menu and make sure they are switched on though.

The contrails appear above 30,000ft. As for making planes 'smoke' like on the Extra 300, I suppose that takes some programme file editing.

Thanks all, it is smoke like the Extra's i'm after. I just wondered where it was in the Aircraft CFG and whether it could just be copied and pasted.
