How about a compromise...  Why not make contrails that are just "fuel" leaks, but set them to be several times longer then regular fuel leaks.  They wouldn't be as persistant as contrails, but might give the right feel...  Just a thought...  

HERE WE GO!


Contrails do not have to be 100% accurate at this point in time, a fuel leak with a brighter color at 3X the length will be a great substitute for what we have now......NOTHING

Correct me if I am wrong but contrails don't always happen don't there have to be specific parameters for them to form?

You are correct.

And since we don't have weather....

I was going to post some random nonsense about how contrails are  a waste of coading time since I don't think of a reason why people would follow them but changed my mind. Since it's been asked for recently.

Sure would be cool.

What are the parameters that need to be met?  I'm pretty sure FSX displays contrails constantly above a certain altitude.

Yes, at about 18k or above I think.  Contrails are only about 1 mile long At most too in FSX.  More then enough for AH.  I would also love wing tip vapor trails to when pulling hard G's.

Great idea. Probably easy to implement. Nice thinking!

I'd be careful there.  Horning in on the Chart Snails territory might get your knee caps busted.
