When I configure aircraft.cfg for a particular aircraft's, "Smokesystem", and then get a favorable display of catapult "smoke (steam)" during a launch, then exit the program,
the display is not the same when I start the program again for the same aircraft. I make sure to "Save" when exiting the "aircraft.cfg"
file and I have installed Abacus's FD3 FS2004 update. I've tried Caching Scenery files; deleting "Previous & UI generated" flights;
tweaking the "Smokesystem" parameters ad-infinitum and questioned Abacus's support, all without success. If anyone else has had this problem and discovered a "fix", I would really appreciate hearing from you and "OldBill" would be most grateful.

The catapul smoke is set by the arrestor cable program, not the aircraft cfg file.
