ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue: Installing the Boeing 307 causes a thin trail (assuming it is some sort of a prop effect that somehow appears globally) to appear in the middle of every plane’s contrails. This is an issue with the recently released AAU5 Boeing 307 as well as the 2020-native Boeing 307. (See this thread discussing the issue in 2020 where it was narrowed down to the Boeing 307 specifically: Contrails suddenly gray and thin -- how to fix? ). The MSFS2020 versions of the Boeing 307 are not installed in my 2024.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
Every sim launch/flight unless the Boeing 307 is not installed.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
-
Install Boeing 307 from Marketplace
-
Fly up to altitude where contrails will form with an appropriate plane and observe the contrails
FWIW, It does not seem to matter if the aircraft is streamed or installed locally.
- When uninstalling (or reinstalling) the Boeing 307, a sim restart is necessary afterwards for 2024 at least.
- Repeat the steps upon relaunch and contrails return back to normal
