JuggernautOfWar 1 Posted July 21, 2009 Where are effects such as contrails and vapor trails? I was hoping they'd be in ArmA 2 because OFP and ArmA left them out. Possible to mod this in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
th3flyboy 0 Posted July 21, 2009 check out the f-16 for arma 2... I know it has vapor trails, not sure about contrails though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted July 21, 2009 Do they really fly high enough to leave vapour trails? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuggernautOfWar 1 Posted July 21, 2009 You can fly however high you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirdup 0 Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Do they really fly high enough to leave vapour trails? Contrails occur at high altitude. Wingtip vortices can occur at any altitude. We have these in some mods. and countermeasures.---------- Post added at 02:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ---------- <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkZTHnzY0lU&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkZTHnzY0lU&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Edited July 21, 2009 by Thirdup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) You can fly however high you want. Yep, and the point of flying around way up there where you can't see the ground is what? We're talking 8k + meters in altitude. Contrails occur at high altitude. Wingtip vortices can occur at any altitude. We have these in some mods. I am under the impression that TOP is talking about contrails because he said contrails. Water vapour condensing due to local changes in air pressure due to maneuver do not usually form a 'trail' that lasts for any amount of time, because the ambient duepoint at low altitudes is much lower and the temperature higher. At any rate, it is possible to mod it in as you demonstrated. Edited July 21, 2009 by Max Power Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirdup 0 Posted July 21, 2009 The only contrail that I think I've seen in ArmA2 is static in the sky over Utes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
