drspankle Posted February 1, 2024 Posted February 1, 2024 Can we set the height above which trails form to something more realistic please? As an average I'd say 28000 and above is where you're most likely to find them, and only in a particular band of altitude, for example 29-35000, Either side of the band where persistent trails form there is often a thousand feet or so where non-persistent contrails are present too - it would be cool to see this. As a tactical aside, does the presence of trails from our aircraft increase the AI's ability to detect us at all? I've heard 'Tally' called for real at 40 miles as the target was in the cons.

razo+r Posted February 1, 2024 Posted February 1, 2024 The contrails altitude are temperature controlled. If you want them higher, set a higher ambient temp. If you want them lower, lower the ambient temp. 5
Jeb Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 I fly almost everyday , or at least 4-5 times a week. I am always between 32-38k depending on the weight and hardly ever do I see contrails in the flight levels, I can see traffic on the TCAS display and visually. but with DCS you always have contrails. 2 I9-9900k, 32MB,RX7900xt, 2560x1440 165hz monitor, track IR, Grass Monkey wireless Puck, Virpil T50-CM3, Winwing Superlibra stick with Hornet and Viper grip, Winwing Orion2 with Hornet, and F15E grip, Winwing PTO, home made 2060 mounts, Virpill ACE interceptor pedals

Can anyone respond on that with knowledge? 1 Discord : vFS F-16 VIPER CLUB Squadron
slickdevel Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 It would be great if we could see contrails without having to zoom in. Generally from the ground I can spot them outside my house without any aids at distances 30-70 miles, verified with Flightradar24. 8
graveyard4DCS Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 Hi. On the topic of contrails, it would be nice to have a prediction model, or a tweaking option, to know when they start and when they end. Contrails forecast maps are a standard military aeronautical weather product that is systematically used for tactical planning. These map show for various locations in the AOR the high probability of contrails altitude blocks. Thanks 4 1 Afghanistan - The Graveyard of Empires - A Project for DCS World Patreon - Discord
ectomia Posted December 13, 2024 Posted December 13, 2024 Also can we get it to not turn the texture when turning the head in VR, looks odd and cheap compared to the rest of the effects. Every time I turn my head to look for a bandit the textures follow my azimuth and it stands out 3
