Something that I have recently found to be missing from Flight Sim 2020 was contrails. They are such a beautiful phenomenon created by aircraft and would make the visuals even more stunning if added.

You should put this in the wish list topic section the devs might see it there and put it in. And yes, 100% agree, sad to not see my government chemicals being sprayed over the country

Hey @extreme330! Welcome to the forums!
The developers mentioned in the latest Twitch Q&A livestream that special effects such as contrails are in the works. We would all love to see them!

Ok great thanks
They did not specifically say water FX, however in the Q&A they said it would be delivered in the first Public Update. I would imagine water FX being apart of this whole system consisting of contrails, tire smoke, ext.
Ah ok so while they didn’t specifically say “we’re putting in water fx” you assume that water fx are included in the next update where there adding new “fx”?
Thats correct. Jayne, the community manager during the Q&A brought up FX, and specifically mentioned Contrails which they confirmed were coming. At this point, we are just speculating what other FX will be coming, but I have no doubt water effects and everything else we all want will be included.
I was looking out the window on a long flight a few minutes ago and thought that too. But, I can live without it for now. X-Plane added them not too long ago. And, well, X-Plane’s graphics sort of ■■■■. 
Hmm ok did they say if they were fixing major things first? Like all the stuff people have been complaining about?
Here, you can view the full Twitch Q&A video here 
The developers addressed a lot of questions, its an hour long video if you want want to take a look for yourself.
Oh cheers I’ll check it out
