I 'm not sure if it was around for much longer. But yesterday I went from Barcelona to lisbon at 33000 ft [daytime] and there was a beautiful contrail below me. It looked quite far below, but I never saw this before. It was very realistic.
the only thing I notice with traffic is the lights blinking, but no contrails. I had just set the traffic up above 60% as the world seemed pretty empty before.
Turn on aircraft labels. You’ll be surprised at the traffic sometimes.
I hope one day they actually tie it into the weather system so you get a persistent and evolving cirrus cloud rather than just an effect that travels with the aircraft for a limited range. But they do look nice I will agree. I saw my first ones earlier this month flying high over UK airspace. You also don’t really see them if you’re below 10,000 feet - at least I never have as that’s where I do most of my flying. Maybe I just don’t look up enough but I think it might also be a range thing
Usually multiplayer traffic won’t have contrails yet. So the lights that you see might come from multiplayer aircraft.
But AI Aircraft, whether it is offline AI or Online Live traffic, they do have the contrails.
