How To Disable Vortices?

[Liveoneut]

I have been around DCS since the very beginning, playing the first A-10 game at release. Somewhere down the line years after, vortices were introduced or maybe just broken. In level flight, with just a hint of back pressure, I get heavy swirling vortices. In the A-10, I have to push the stick forward to get rid of them. Almost every input (minus nose down) creates these effects. It's to the point of ruining the game for me (not being able to enjoy the breathtaking exterior visuals).

How can I get rid of these things? Any mods? Settings? I would SERIOUSLY even pay someone to find a way. 

How has this not been fixed yet? Surely I can't be the only one who thinks they need some work?

I would absolutely love to return. Fingers crossed.

Do you perhaps have a track?

In my very limited testing, they only appear, if you are slow, at 1.6Gs, or fast at 2Gs and above.

So if you see them in level flight with a hint of back pressure, either it's more than just a hint of back pressure, or you are slow to begin with.

Visible wingtip vortices are a function of the humidity level in the air.  I don't know for a fact, but I doubt that DCS factors in humidity in causing wingtip vortices to be visible (don't think humidity level is an option in the Mission Editor).  As a default, I suspect DCS just programs visible vortices to appear anytime that you put a G-load (greater than 1) on the plane.

Not at my computer right now to check, but it seems (based on memory) like visible wingtip vortices may decrease with altitude in DCS.  I'll check that later to verify.  However, I was doing some AAR yesterday with an F-16 behind a KC-135 and there were visible vortices coming off the tanker wingtips at 28,000-ft MSL, but none off the F-16.

I flew my F-100 from Vietnam back to the States in late September 1970.  Here is a picture of my flight refueling behind an KC-135 at around 30,000-ft MSL over the Pacific.  No visible wingtip vortices on any of the planes.

Update: Just cranked up DCS with the F-16 AAR at 28,000-ft MSL.  The KC-135 was generating visible wingtip vortices at 280 KIAS, level flight.  The wingtip vortices on the F-16 would become visible at about 1.4G at the same altitude and airspeed.  However, if I load missiles on the wingtips, I could not get it to generate any visible wingtip vortices, even down at sea level.  So, DCS must be modeling the impact of missiles on the formation/visibility of the vortices.
