Wingtip Vortices

Does anyone know how to turn off the wingtip vortices? They aren't very realistic, to say the least...

Try this -  "Plane Maker: It's in the Expert/Invisible Parts section and is referred to as "Disable X-Plane's Built In Effects" at the bottom of the window."

I was wondering about that... I've never used plane maker:  Do you have to do this for each individual aircraft, or can you do it one time for everything?

Thanks!!

You have to do it for each individual aircraft. It is really straightforward, though. If you are tech savvy enough operate a TV remote control to change the volume, it should be within your grasp 😉

Be advised that if you change that value and save the plane (overwriting the original .acf file with your modded one), any future update to X-Plane will throw a warning, saying: I see that you have changed this file, do you want to keep or overwrite it?

Cheers, Jan
