Version: 1.0.72.0
Frequency: Consistently
Severity: HIGH
Context: FSR500, mounted from Community, in flight
Bug description:
Smoke effects created back in MSFS 2020 are not working anymore in MSFS 2024, they remain invisible…
Repro steps:
Load FSR500, start the starter, let it run for more than 50 seconds… this will burn the starter and it should show the smoke effect assiociated with it…
Attachments:
I send FSR500 before via private links, you should be able to open it and use it for this test.
Update
Correction the effects are working but are only visible from external view…
From inside it is wrongly displayed, probably the environment occluder prevents everything:
The enviroment occluder is well far behind where the smoke is… this picture ilustrates:

Hello Raul,
I have been trying to repro your issue but I have been unable to trigger the starter burn.
What I did was launching a free flight with the FSR500, and press the Starter Button circled below
The propeller starts but I never seem to get a starter burn however long I wait. Is there something else I am supposed to do ? Are there other signals of a starter burn I could be looking for ?
Best regards,
Matthieu
Hi Matthieu,
Open the FSR500 EFB (Click the left pocket), go to EFB–> Realism and enable all the failures so the electrical starter will burn upon running it for more than 50 seconds as per real life
Most likely the failure is currently disabled in the EFB. Once you enable it, do the start procedure again as you doing it.
Thanks for testing,
All the best,
Raul
