CH47D Heat Plume?

    Hi

    This is a weird one…

    I have installed the orbx pac p-750 xstol which was working just fine.

    But when I bought and installed the CH47D I noticed the heat plumes on the orbx pac p-750 xstol became massive, so large they cast shadows across the cockpit window.

    So what I did:

    1. I completely removed my MSFS and did a totally fresh, clean installation.

    2. I only installed my MSFS "shop" bought aircraft and tested the orbx pac p-750 xstol.
      It worked as it did before I bought the CH47D with a normal-sized heat plume.

    3. I then via Contrail installed the CH47D and tested both.
      The CH47D behaved as expected, but the massive heat plume was now visible again with the orbx pac p-750 xstol.

    4. I removed the folder called heat-blur from C:......\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\miltechsimulations-ch47d\VisualEffectLibs\effects.

    5. I tested the orbx pac p-750 xstol and found the heat blur was back to its normal state.

    My question is:

    Why would the CH47D heat plume have an adverse effect, or any effect for that matter on the orbx pac p-750 xstol?

    1. Well, this is a new one.

      Our CH47 use the default heat blur effects. Seems that the other aircraft is modifying the stock effect files. Can't confirm as I do not own the other product.

      Could you please screenshots of the bug? I will confirm with the ORBX guys to dig deeper into this, as this is the first report of such issue.
