Vehicle particle emitters?

I'm having some problems with vehicle particle emitters:
-The damage emitter (wheeled vehicle) always seems to take the center or some other random position on my model. It ignores the smoke_Node. Am I right this is a code problem? or am i doing something wrong in the model (i doubt it).
-Jet and contrail emitters don't work on a wheeled vehicle, am i right? If i'm right about this, would it be hard to add that functionality in? I would love to have some exhaust fumes etc.

You can set the offset(s) for your emitters in your datablock.

The offsets don't seem to work either, sometimes it really screws up (like it just takes a random position, even meters away from the car)... btw, I called it smoke_node0, also tried smoke_Node1

I.E The smoke node is in the right place, but your rendering is not..

Could this not be something to do with interpoltation issues that wheeled vehicles have atm?I.E The smoke node is in the right place, but your rendering is not..

Did you design your vehicle so it is centered at 0,0,0 in Milkshape? I've had placement problems related to that before.. My car's wheels were offset and I coudln't figure it out for days.
