    Hi! I see on a lot of pictures there is white smoke coming out of the exhaust because the engine is cold;
    I have turned all my graphics settings up, and I do not seem to get any white smoke, only when my head gasket is blown. Is there a way to fix it? Thanks.

    By default, vehicles spawn with pre-heated engines.

    Disable this feature to witness cold engine smoke. :)

    Reloaded map/vehicle?

    Works fine here, even with modded vehicles, athough I heard reports of missing particles before...

    WCA is probably too warm to have this happening. :)

    For the most part yes but living in California, I see cars with this exhaust smoke at night and in the mornings.

    Did you actually try at night? I don't know off my head if the map has dynamic day/night temps set up right now.

    Dunno, just try it :)

    Yea I know but in theory the level can be set up to be colder at night time, so the smoke might actually appear then ;)

    How do you disable the feature of preheated engines?
