I'm currently finishing up a car that is not meant to have steady burns, yet extras 6 and 9 are always steady-burn. It has to be a VCF issue, or something wrong with the base ELS.ini, because this has happened to any car I have used extras 5 and 9 on, and I've made 4 so far. 

 

The text of the VCF in question is here:

If there's no indication of a problem in the VCF, where should I go looking next for the solution?

3 things.

 

Is your Zmoddler Legit and not a cracked version ?

 

Is your Zmoddler Updated ?

 

and have you double/triple checked your hierarchy naming nomenclature.

For example if you have a space before/after "extra_6" then you can run into issues ?

- 100% legit and paid for. 

 

- Updated and working as expected.

 

- Hierarchy is as intended and naming is proper. It matches every other extra which does function. This happens on every single car I make, not just the one.
