Why not add plane contrails for flights at high altitudes?

Yeah, I have only flown 1 with you guys and we didnt have ANY resistance what  so ever. I guess 8-10 formations with pony/lightning escorts really dampers peoples spirits!

contrails and high g trails - both would be really great and add a lot of eye candy to furballs.

to be honest, cheap computers (like 400 dollar desktops) are good enough to handle anything that Ah2 has to offer and can do more - and honestly - if you are using a computer that is worth less then 400 dollars, then you should not be playing fps style dogfighting sims.  I know there is an argument against setting the standards too high, but setting the standards to th lowest of the lowest computers is also equally idiotic.

People may dismiss this but I think aces high should move to consoles.  I have a PS3 and I use it also as desktop gaming.  Use Sony's free PSN network to deliver free-to-download aces high.  Latest generations of consoles such as PS3.  These consoles have development life-cycle of more than 10 years now.  No one has yet to really stress PS3's computing and graphics capabilities.  
I'm willing to bet that PS3 can go as far as 15 years.  If Sony does make a PS4, I think it would be just an upgraded PS3 with just more system/graphics memory and lower power consumption.  Sony's a genius for setting a new trend in this regard.
