It's only  the standard sanitary dump pressure valves (SDPV's) kicking in, that's only legal over oceanic airspace buddy

Or perhaps it's a just a bad videocard driver or directX version  ;D

I had the same problem and I cant remember if I fixed it reinstalling FS2004, deleting fs9.cfg and letting a new one be built, or reinstalling a video driver. Give each one a try and see what happens

If the contrails extend to ground level, its caused by an add-on

your problem is exactly what dave has said your contrails file has been altered the only way to fix this is to put back the orignals.
You only need 2 files 8)

This is where you learn that backing-up is essential  :) .

I can only think of looking through your FS disks and finding the effects folder in one of the .cab files.

Hi Gogi,

Ok, i have 4 fx_contrail_... files 2 of them are 5/14/2003 and 2 of them 7/15/2004 and 7/12/2004.


Could you post the 4 file names including the extension (i.e 'fx_contrail_s.fx').

Cheers,
Dave

Looks like a UFO to me. Do UFOs leave contrails?

Technically they could, if they had the right shape.

contrails are to do with engine exhaust not shape. Or so i have been told all these years. The vapour trails are to do with the wings and so on when there is high humidity
