That is rather strange to look at...  I do not know what to do in order to remedy the problem with the helicopter, but that smoke looks like the engine start effect.  Check the cockpit to see if the starter switch is flipped or something like that.

Naw, usually something is tied to a FILE like the "Cranky Howard" or "Jenny Engine Start" - within the Aircrafts CFG File , under "EFFECTS".

Tho theres nothing under the Effects file as far as any of these.

Leads me to believe its tied in with the Aircrafts "AIR FILE" somehow - someway?

See Examples of some Aircraft with these type of Engine Starting Effects, that can produce realistic smoke effects at start up on "Prop Aircraft" mainly.
