I just saw a video on fs2004.com and it was about dangerous skys. The video was mostly about landing in dangerous weather. When he made the aproaches or before landing, The windtips of his aircraft produce some kind of swirls that you can find in real life. Can someone tell me, where to find this or what aircraft has it?

thanks

When I fly a UPS or FedEx MD-11 in FS2004, this happens at the end of the flaps edge ends and at the wingtip too!

Just downloaded and saw the dangerous skies video and I see what you're talking about, the realistic wavey ones on the wingtip of a 747 in 48 to 51 seconds section of the video.

Tonite I will fly the UPS MD-11 and compare it, the UPS MD-11 doesn't appear wavey like that contrail in the dangerous skies video.

Best way to find out is to download that aircraft and see if it comes with that effect file.

The website where the video was made is at:

I already emailed them asking where did they download the aircraft or the vortex contrail effect file.

Hopefully they will have an answer.

Anybody heard of Paul Bowen?  Hes the guy who took the picture of the Learjet flying over the marine layer with the vortecies behind it carved in the clouds

I found it!  It's in the Project Open Sky 747-400 Malaysia Airlines "Hibiscus" 9M-MPD.

It can be downloaded here:

Download that and use the I button for smoke effect which will show the vortex effect.

Hmm, about that video, FS2004 gives me an 'error' when I try to open that one.  Could someone post the file or email it to me by any chance?

The iFDG airbuses have vortex effects, so you could put the effect references into your aircraft.cfg for the plane you want.

Done that, that's on all the 777's, DC-10 and MD-11's I have  ;)
