Contrails

The AI problem is huge.  Asobo promised us they'd have AI aircraft addressed a long time ago.  Live traffic was supposed to have the real-world models and airline liveries associated with them.  That's all but been forgotten.  Contrails was something I noticed a while ago, which is to your point but no one has mentioned it that I can remember until this thread.😶

That's not true, they haven't forgotten, we didn't let them forget. Every other Q&A stream this issue is raised and Jörg always says Asobo is working on it and in one of the streams he even said Asobo already has a lot of the planes modeled. The issue is he's having a hard time to license all the planes and liveries. That said, things are apparently working in 2024. Maybe it will be backported to 2020.

I think MSFS has had significant advancements in just “a few” other areas to be worth it, even if I don’t get the better contrails of FS9…

I don’t know if MSFS uses actual weather conditions at high altitude (from MeteoBlue) to control whether contrails form, or how persistent they are.

I think it does. During a long range flight I noticed at least once, that the contrails were visible and after a while at the same FL, the were no longer visible.
