Post by: smoe on August 22, 2011, 07:51:40 PM
I wish for vapor trails like the ones shown in the current intro screen.

Both contrails and vapor under high-G have been asked for before and repeatedly.

If I'm pullin' high G's with cons on my six, well, that ain't no vapor trail behind me.
I wouldn't step in it though.   :lol

Drone, which model B-17 is that, for Flight Simulator? Was it freeware, or payware?

It may cause a performance hit on the low-end computers, but make it switchable, and i give it a +1.

depending on weather conditions you can get contrails starting at about 15k wingtip vapor depends on humidity. A big plus 1.

Adding the ability to disable the vapor trails for lower end computers should affect only the computer the change it was made on (ie: if I disabled it on my computer I wouldn't see any vapor trails but people could still see mine)

On that note +1 from me

I liked the contrails too. Maybe attach this option to an existing option check box. Maybe the "disable vehicle effects" option.

Building on what Smoe said, what if contrails were included in the "Aircraft settings" checkbox or whatever its called. Understand-é vous peoples?

for those of you who say that it would take a hit on low-end computers, its like an oil/fuel leak or turning on airshow smoke.

the only thing that breaks my 2-yr old comp off 60 fps is the smoke from burning buildings. everything else is maxed out with the 1024 high res pack installed

Since it has to do with any number of factors, how do you gents propose to define the contrails altitude?

And condensation streaming from wingtips in a high G turn is a totally different animal.

Clouds also depend on a lot of things yet we have them. HTC can set specific weather for the whole arena that would enable them.

Worth the time if the AH war is fought down low and the contrails are way up high?  So it's nice eye candy.  Is it really that high up the list?

Not really.  :frown:                    But I still would not mind having it.  :D
