Try disabling LUPS / Lups Manager widgets and see if it's the vapor trails maybe?

Press F11 to disable/enable widgets

In regards to explosions this is possibly caused by the shockwaves effect, next version this will be toned down and present on much less explosions. You can currently disable it by modifying 'lups.cfg' in your spring folder.

Current BA developer is myself.

LUPS is mainted by jK, over at the CA team, and this is a known problem with ATI cards AFAIK.

Thanks for help.

I've disabled shockwave effects with no effects

Explosion problem only happens with Core bombers and with less load when dgunning.

Np with ARM bombers or other units.

Should hopefully be fixed in 7.12 where turning off Lups Manager widget will also disable Napalm Jitter and all Shockwave effects.
