"Contrails"

[hobeprime 16]

Hello,

is there a possibility to switch off the "contrails" (not sure if that's the correct term) the AXE sometimes produces at the wingtips especially during takeoff?

Thanks.

what you see is a real effect, seen in real life on days with some humidity.

from wikipedia: "As a wing generates lift, it causes a vortex to form at each wingtip, and sometimes also at the tip of each wing flap. These wingtip vortices persist in the atmosphere long after the aircraft has passed. The reduction in pressure and temperature across each vortex can cause water to condense and make the cores of the wingtip vortices visible. This effect is more common on humid days. Wingtip vortices can sometimes be seen behind the wing flaps of airliners during takeoff and landing, and during landing of the Space shuttle."

hope this helps.

I don´t know if these can be switched of. In real life they can´t.

Indeed, it would be a default FSX file you would have to remove/rename to eliminate that effect, and it would not work on any aircraft after that.

Is the same effect you can see in heavy g's maneouvering with certain planes...

See this...

Minute 1'2'', and very well in 2'20''

If you keep watching, you will see a bunch of this happening.
