Where did the issue occur? When an armored vehicle cooks off, both vanilla and modded (RHS) vehicles are affected
Screenshots:
examples of the bug appearing when various vehicles cook of
as you can see there is an additional smoke pillar in front of the vehicle that should not be present
APC - smoke rises from gun and hull additional bugged smoke source in fromt of vehicle
Tank - smoke rises from gun and hull and end of barrel - bugged smoke source half way down the barrel
IFV - smoke rises from gun and hull additional bugged smoke source in fromt of vehicle

The selections of the vehicles are configured wrong. The smoke is supposed to come out of the barrel and engine, but BI configured those selections wrong
but BI configured those selections wrong
I doubt that? probably using wrong selection name? Whats the name of the selections?

The problem seems to be within fnc_engineFire.sqf, the smokestack was gone after i removed this file.

Confirmed, FUNC(engineFire) doesn't account for the real position of the engine, will be fixed in #9758.
