Some of the xta special effects are read differently then past springs, so some of the lingering smoke disappear. I was wondering what changes to Ceg particles has happened since 0.78.2 that has altered the behavior or should I need to get more specific.

}

These particles are suppose to have a lifespan of 160 but yet when you fire flaks at air or the ground, as soon as the smoke appears, it seems to disappear. The particles used to linger, I mean, am I missing something.

This video shows lingering smoke from the effects but in this last spring release the smoke instantly fades.

It seems that particles are not respecting particlelife?
