White Engine Smoke on C-182

Post by Zentiger »

When making a routine flight I seem to generate a lot of white exhaust smoke. I looked for overheating or any compression/ engine problems, etc. All seemed ok. I also played around with the mixture. No change. When I landed- I put the plane in the hanger to run a check. No problems... I am neophyte at this. Any ideas?

Altitude about 3500. Outside Temp about 44 F. RPMs about 24/25. I did flu around in circles a lot because I could not figure out the GTN- maybe the plane was hacked off. [WINKING FACE]

Hello Zentiger,

Is it possible you accidentally switched on the smoke effects in the sim? By default the 'I' key will do this.

Thanks,
Nick
