To enable your smoke:
1. Make sure you have assigned a Tx switch in the control menu
2. Calibrate the Tx switch - neutral (switch is in smoke off position) and max travel (smoke switch is in smoke on position)
3. In the flying view, under the graphics menu, enable smoke

If you need more smoke, you can set the smoke level under graphics options. You will also need a better video card for smoke. Which video card are you using?

Under View 1, you can select "recorded flight" in the fixed, follow or cockpit mode depending on whether you used a 3D scenery or panoramic scenery. This will give you the original recording view
