Hi all. I have a contrail problem, something i've not experienced before :roll:

If you have a look at the pic below you'll see the contrails you'd normally expect but out to the rear also is a another set of contrails that split away from the main contrail and head for earth. If anyone knows a fix for this or where an alternative contrail file can be found, please drop a note in here... i've searched around but not found anything.. thanks. Note that although it looks like the split is coming from the wing, its not (just the angle of the pic i took).

Wow Norm that is strange not seen that before , does it happen with ever aircraft or is it just that model

[AS37 Norm Edwards]

Yep it's weird, happens with all aircraft once contrails start above FL300. I suspect it is therefore an FS system file.

Sounds like it Norm maybe a quick repair would sort it out

Norm before doing a quick repair (never likes that thing!) - Seems it may be a corrupted fx_contrail file? They are located in your FSX/effects folder and are named: fx_contrail_l.fx and fx_contrail_s.fx

Hi,

You have installed something that has it's own contrails and now you have 2 sets and this is the result.

Problem solved. The culprit was the fx_contrail_l.fx file . I found one on flightsim.com and just replace the existing one & presto! Kinda weird tho but now things are chugging along as they should be! :wink:
