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

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

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,

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

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
