Brief description of the issue:

Checked quite some real planes the last few days passing by and my observation is that the contrails start pretty close behind a jetliner. Looks much closer to me than they start (become visible) behind a jetliner in fs2020.

In real life it is dependent on exhaust gas temperature, exhaust gas moisture content and then air temperature and humidity at that altitude.

Obviously, all that plays a factor in how long it takes for the exhaust to condense/freeze into a contrail, if at all.

I generally fly low level so I don’t have a good idea if any of the above is actually modelled well or not

Thanks for adding. Knowing that the start of the trails is depending on various factors I still believe that in reality most if not all trails start closer to the planes.

start quite close from the engine exhaust, looks right to me. Does not seem to be a bug.
