We can see in videos, etc, a sonic explotion or a flat cloud forming in front of an aircraft when breaking the sound barrier.
I'm not even sure if both things (the loud explotion an the cloud wall) are the same phenomenon.

My Q: This can be observed / reproduced  in FS9? (It never happened to me but...) There is some efect- addon. etc can made it?

Regards

Have a look here: http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2 ... 677566/0#0

The F18 in that thread comes with that effect (there is a link for the downlaod in the last post). I'm not sure if there is a download for that effect that can be applied to other planes though.

Remember that the pilot in the cockpit does not hear that sonic boom.  The pilot is moving faster than the sound his aircraft has produced...... so it keeps getting further and further behind the plane.   ;)

Also the F-14D Tomcat has the sonic boom built in, with cloud and boom sound.
