Wrench Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Has anyone made a mod to add a mach cone to aircraft, or is ED gong to add it? I mean something like this: If not, I'm sure its because it would be a lot of work, but man, it looks cool! Carrier Script.
zaelu Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I'm not sure such name for that phenomenon exists. It is looking like a cone that is shown in diagrams when a plane breaks the sound barrier but as far as I know that is just a vapor cone that appears in some conditions and mostly at subsonic speeds. Here... I find some explanation on Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_cone But yea, it looks cool and would be fine to have it. However in DCS World 1.xxx I think it would be very schematic represented and maybe repetitive... so maybe in DCS World 2.0 it would be added.

Suchacz Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 This effect is not visible in all conditions. It is not only matter of speed, it also depends on humidity, temperature, air pressure and so on. This is how it looks on a wing of a jetliner Per aspera ad astra!
