Would it be possible to add tiny smoke trails to wingtips during extreme maneuvers to simulate wingtip vortices? Link to the stall sound / volume or something? Would look pretty killer in a furball.
Also, And this I know might be a bit more complex. Carrier launches start with wings folded, and unfold when you start the engine, part of the engine start up thing. This would then enable scenarios to have multiple planes on the deck without looking really weird.
Use code from the Landing Gear code / system?
Just my .02.
