ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue: All the iniBuilds Airbus aircraft in MSFS 2024 have an issue where if you start one engine, the other engine(s) will already produce the ‘heat blur’ exhaust effect, even if the other engine(s) have not been started yet.
This happens with all their models - A310, A320neo, A321neo, A330, Beluga XL, A400M. The A310, FWIW, did not have this issue in MSFS 2020.
The A400M also does not have effects for the APU exhaust heat on the upper fuselage, whereas the other models do. The No.2 engine appears not to have any heat effects tied to it at all, whether running or not.
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
iniBuilds Airbus A310, A320neo, A321neo, A330s, A330 Beluga XL, A400M
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Did not remove community add-ons. I have no add-ons associated with any of these aircraft (eg, liveries)
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time the aircraft are flown.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Start sim, load any of the iniBuilds Airbus aircraft
- Start just one of the engines on any of the aircraft
- Observe duplicated heat blur effects on other not-started engines

MEDIA
Please add a screenshot or video of the issue occurring.
Airbus A330-300 Rolls-Royce Trent 700 here - left engine started and normal
Compare that to the right engine, it’s not started but still making exhaust heat.
A330-200 with General Electric CF6 here - same problem.
A330 Beluga XL - same problem.
Despite the other Airbuses having APU heat exhaust, the Airbus A400M does not. This is with it running.
A400M - same behaviour, with one engine started alone.
Note the No.2 engine does not have heat blur effects like the others.
If you start the No.2 engine, it doesn’t actually have any heat blur effect, when it should do.
Airbus A321neo - same problem. One started, both giving off heat.
A320neo - same problem.
Finally, the A310. Same problem.
