[Lenux]

Could anyone tell me, please, where exactly the location is, for the wing vapor ( attached image ) ?

Thank you

Does changing this work and if yes, is it usable in Multiplayer mode?

[Lenux]

I don't know

[Lenux]

Any ideas, guys ?

[SkateZilla]

What are you looking for?

[The Falcon]

why do you want to know?

[Lenux]

I'd like to remove / disable those vapor wings ( see the image, please )

[Lenux]

Just like that ...

[fl0w]

Are you referring to the wingtip vortices? Those can't be removed.

[Lenux]

Yes, the wingtip vortices.

Are you sure they can't be removed ??

[paco2002]

I would say that that thing can't be removed

[SkateZilla]

wingtip vapor cannot be removed.

I have mines removed, I hate how short they are and how unrealistic they behave, seems like you are dragging them instead of appearing in the air and keeping their position. Also they are always there, at absurd speeds and attitudes.

 

Try with this file (override the original one after saving it)

Thank you so much, watermanpc

I did a quick test with the F16, everything is fine, I hope it does apply for all the aircrafts

indeed!;)

[Lenux]

Amazing

I just don't understand the purpose of this wingtip contrails

well, there should be these kind of trails at certain conditions...the problem is how they are made in DCS. They look very well but behave very bad imho.

watermanpc, thanks for this. They are indeed wrongly done (I know ED is trying to correct them).

[The Falcon]

I knew that this had to be corrected with the simulation of humility

[dali]

LOL, maybe you ment humidity?

[The Falcon]

LOL, maybe you ment humidity?

:megalol: yep i meant humidity but humility is also okay since they must recognize that without humidity it does not simulate well
