Title: Contrails
Post by: OntosMk1 on October 28, 2008, 07:13:19 PM: I dont know if it would really have a huge hit on frame rates but I really think that the simple addition of Contrails, condinsation trails, would really add to the games appeal. Say enable them at 15k+.

Post by: Latrobe on October 28, 2008, 07:24:35 PM: I'd like to see it added, but as an option (like animated water used to be). that way the people who don't have the computer's to handle it can just leave it off.

There is none of that in the game so it would occur probably at something like SAP which means 23-25k.

Yea, that what the allies whine about. All the bombers wanted the contrails turn off but the brasses say no. High commanders believe all the contrails would bring fear to the enemies.

There may not be humidity but there are types of weather so no I dont think it would have a set alt. Some places of the map it could be lower and some part it could be up higher.

It dosnt matter because humidity and temperature are fixed and dont change in AHII and the less programming required to get it working would be better then even more CPU usage.
