Pardon my ignorance about the AMRAAM, but there is high chance that AIM-120 can produce contrails.

 

At the right altitude with the right humidity yep.

This comes from the testimony of a downed serbian MiG-29 pilot hat was shot down by an AIM-120A in 1999.

 

Irrelevant, all missiles do this.  It's not modeled in DCS ... maybe with the new weather engine?

Of course, this is only under the premise that the A variant had a smokeless motor, which if it didn't renders my post useless.

 

Smokeless from the start, and not an A.  As were gone years before, it would have been some B or C variant.

Yup, my bad. It was the AIM-120C.
Can't find the original site now, but someone made a screenshot (not the yellow marked row)

Whats going on at 1:39? Why is it so damn smoky? Could it be that AMRAAMS do smoke at very low altitude and certain weather conditions?

Yes it is weather dependent, it's water vapor.

So these effects were already in an older build? 

Yes.

Some missiles retained the old effects, some new, and some more of a hybrid.

But now it looks like they've all reverted.
