Title: Condensation trails.

Would be cool, high altitude bombers/fighters having condensation trails. They'll be spotted easier and adds abit of realism :)

Would be fun, but isn't this another frame rate issue like rearview mirrors for the planes that had them?

Just don't mention the rearviews with HiTech close :)
Well it would still awsome! At what altitude would the trails appear? Around 15-20.000 feets?

maybe do away with bomber icons and just give them contrails

How about letting folks toggle them on or off as part of the details lvl slider.  If your machine was hogging down you turn down the extras to get back framerate.  Seems silly to punish the masses because some don't have up to date hardware.
