High-G Streamers

[PandE]

I would like to request adding streamers when planes pull high-g's. I am pretty sure WWII planes did make these.

I read a book about P-40's in the flying in the Flying Tigers in China, "Tiger over Burma" or "Tiger over China" or something with Tiger in the title. A quote from that book went something like this:

A P-40 was in a dive and almost crashed, but pulled hard on the stick to prevent this. Some of his buddies saw this and noted the huge streamers created by the P-40. On the day following this event, one of the squadies who witnessed the high-g streamers flew over the same site a day after the P-40's high-g pull out (the pilot who created the streamers didn't attend the mission the day after). The squady approached the one who almost crashed and mentioned to him "Hey so & so, we flew over the site where you created those huge streamers yesterday, and wouldn't you know they were still there today!!!"

P.S. I think streamers depend on the altitude, humidity, dew point, etc... So, HTC creators may need to some research on the subject.

you could try doing the research for them to lighten their workload.

perhaps try that "search" button for vapor trails and see what comes up.

Altitude, humidity, dew point and tempter as well as pressure altitude and of cours density altitude are all elements of producing a vapor trail.  Laps rate which is the natural cooling of the atmosphere as you increase in altitude would also need be considered.

It would have to be part of the weather model.  But several flight sims have it embeded in the code now.  even Micro Soft's flight simulator.
