hobeprime 16 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 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. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankito 5 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 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. Dennis 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." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail hope this helps. I don´t know if these can be switched of. In real life they can´t. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleD 1027 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs jrotaetxe 242 Posted April 15, 2013 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted April 15, 2013 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. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
