Reflected Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 I noticed that thos little condensation trails appear behind the wingtip even at a 1.5, 2 G turn or climb. I really doubt it's realistic, or that every mission is in such a cold and humid environment. What's worse, this F5E was taxiing at about 2 knots: Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord

Kippy Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 While the screenshot does seem like a bug, it should be noted that it can be very easy for vortices to form. Often times at colder temps on the Caucasus map I'd get vortices in the climbout following takeoff in the A-10C. IMHO it's realistic for vortices to appear at 1.5, 2 G for some aircraft depending on the weather. I've seen an A-10 turn hard on a cold Indiana day.. you would've thought Cheech and Chong stole it. 163rd vFS Discord Soaring With the Snakes, Fangs Out!
Gr00v3r Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Just want to bring this up again.... It kinda feels like a 172 will generate wingtip vortex if you pulled hard enough on the stick in DCS... If you look at mach loop and death valley flybys you can see certain jets produce wingtip vortices a lot easier than others like F15 and F35. The hawk, M2000 etc hardly any especially in areas like death valley. Sometimes you getting these vortices in level flight in DCS, unless there a SERIOUS amount of moisture in the air is unlikely. Additionally, in actual vids showing high G turns, the wintip voticies tend to disappear due to the break away on the wintip and primarily overwing vapour is visible... Will this be looked at possibly? Intel i7 4790K, 16GB DDR3 1600, GIGABYTE GTX 970G1, Win 7 x64, X-55 HOTAS :bye_2:
