At the right altitude with the right humidity yep. 25 minutes ago, Cmptohocah said: This comes from the testimony of a downed serbian MiG-29 pilot hat was shot down by an AIM-120A in 1999. Irrelevant, all missiles do this. It's not modeled in DCS ... maybe with the new weather engine? 25 minutes ago, Cmptohocah said: Of course, this is only under the premise that the A variant had a smokeless motor, which if it didn't renders my post useless. Smokeless from the start, and not an A. As were gone years before, it would have been some B or C variant.

skywalker22 Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 Would be time to do some major overhaul on missiles exhaust flame. it looks pretty much the same for all the missiles available. How it looks from a close up aim-120 and aim-9:
twistking Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Whats going on at 1:39? Why is it so damn smoky? Could it be that AMRAAMS do smoke at very low altitude and certain weather conditions?

GGTharos Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 Yes it is weather dependent, it's water vapor. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
