I fly a (X-Plane11 compliant) canard pusher LongEz.  This plane is parked with the nose wheel up such that the nose touches the ground.  

This morning as I finished my "tie-down", I noticed the parked plane being buffeted by the wind, and tiny puffs of smoke coming off the nose.  (Tiny puff is just left of nose along the ground in the photo below.)  

Does this mean X-Plane thinks I am crashing?

Is there a setting in Plane-Maker that I need to check to eliminate this?

Hey! Thanks for your post! We are revamping all of our particles (like smoke, fire, etc!) in X-Plane 11.30 will is coming out very soon. Please let me know if this fixes it!  Thanks, Thomson

Thomson - please take a moment with me here - The problem is not smoke or fire.  It has nothing, *nothing* to do with particles, unless you are talking about air that makes up wind???

There is some sort of problem that the plane is being bounced up and down when parked.

Is this a known problem? Is there a ticket number for a defect?
