It looks awesome in Il-2, would like to see it in AH.

thats where i got it form lol

i am sure they can do it.  after all, you see the trials on bullets, A/C loosing oil, fuel and on fire.   But they should make them 6 k long and have them appear on some A/C like bombers at 20 k.

Woudln't that give some people a lot of lag when thye get near the plane?

[Larry]

Do you get lag from a bomber with fuel and oil hits? It would be about the same amount of lag. This game needs to push into the twentyfirst century with graphics. Even if that means losing the people that cant put a hundred dollars in to their computer every year to keep up with everyone else.

Id venture to guess that they might gain some people....

I understand your point, but as the sole bread winner for a family of five on a ****** job in a crappy economy, thanks a lot.

If there were an option to run the game with contrails (and any eye candy for that matter) disabled, then this shouldn't affect anyone whose computer can't handle it.

Contrails?  Like the genesis of clouds caused by condensed water and engine heat at high altitude?




Or, wingtip vortices?  The little vapor trails wingtips make in dense, humid air during high G maneuvers.




Wouldn't contrails be a whole new coading nightmare?  Having to put them where the plane was and leave them for an indeterminate amount of time?  And everything would get so cloudy.

On the other hand, who flys that high anyway?

Offline missions.

If this were so much of a hassle, then why did we ever implement smoke from fire, especially fire from planes.
