I have tried everything to get Pablos Smoke Trail mod to work in my CUP #WAW install, i've added the lines to my   
[Mods]
    PALNoTracers=1
    PALNoSmoketrails=1

in my conf.ini, i've tried adding it to my #WAW (I have to delete the classfile or I get the dreaded 6dof crash) and or #SAS mod folders (I can leave the classfile in here), i've tried adding it at the end or start of my #WAW/#SAS folders - i've tried it without the mod installed (not sure if its coded into CUP?) but I still get tons of those awful thin grey flak trails!!!

I've tried both versions 4.09 and 4.12 - any idea what im doing wrong???

Funny enough your query got me to learn for the first time about this mod and it works quite fine in my (hacked) 4.13.3 DGenPack.
Did you try to give it a folder name like "!!!!0000-000xxx" in #WAW?

The PALNoSmoketrails=1 parameter is only for aircraft guns. The flak trails (20/37mm) were changed in 4.12 so my 4.10 flak trail mod did not work anymore so I had to keep the stock 4.12 flak trail effects. SFS extractor cant extract all 4.12 files so I'm not even sure what those changes are.

Thanks guys - vp ?s there anyway to disable the flak trails completely?

Effects\Smokes\ShellTrail.eff & MachineGun.eff were the files in 4.10, but TD added some changes and i dont have the names of all the new effects, i can only extract the old ones.

If you want to make them invisible you can change this in the eff file, for example:

  Color0 0.6 0.4 0.4 0.75
  Color1 1.0 1.0 1.0 0.5

to

  Color0 0.6 0.4 0.4 0.0
  Color1 1.0 1.0 1.0 0.0
