February 27, 20215 yr I thought they were on the list of things that we will get once particle effects were enabled.
February 27, 20215 yr From the Feb 18th Development Blog (https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/blog-february-18th-2021-development-update/367553) Quote Contrail effects will soon be available in-game and the Visual Effects Editor is being reviewed and documented. We will ship it along with samples. The World Update 3 changelog doesn't mention contrails, so seems like it's still waiting on a future update.

February 28, 20215 yr I think in very beginning Asobo mentioned that all FX effect such as contrails water wakes and so on will come with DX12. I believe currently DX12 is due to summer!

February 28, 20215 yr I saw many contrails today between Denver and San Jose. And had plenty of live traffic also.....

But have to say that I keep my distance as instructed by regs and ATC so am not close enough to see tire smoke in any case. LOL! But you should easily recall in which sim.

February 28, 20215 yr If I'm not mistaken, Martial Bossard, one of the guys who was part of the last Dev Q&A stream, said that the particle effects system has been pushed back to Sim Update 4. Maybe someone could confirm since I'm outside currently but I'd be happy to be proven wrong though.
February 28, 20215 yr Crazy they can produce ridiculous clouds and excessive lightning/icing but yet can't deliver particle effects (contrails and landing effects) to this point, who are they kidding? Edited February 28, 20215 yr by jbdbow1970
