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?
