contrails altitude

[VTJS17_Fire]

Hi,

 

before DCS 1.5 the contrails were fix at round about 25.500 feet. Since DCS 1.5/ 2.0 they are variable, sometimes 21.000 ft., sometimes 24.000 ft..

 

What affects their height? QNH? And is there a static table/file at which QNH(?) their height is set or is it generated dynamic?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

kind regards,

Fier

Temperature. lower temp, lower contrail level. At least that's what I found.

Humidity should also be a factor, though not sure it's in game. In 1.5 they vary a lot : The lower I had them was around 3000' (crazy cold weather) and the highest something like 30 000' in nevada in hot weather.

Great that there is some variation in Chem trails .... dont forget Coriolis as a factor.... Of course we know those nasty Chemtrailers turn them on and off at will !
