Contrail Issue

[Northwest 102]

Hello Everyone.  Haven't been on here in ages.

I'm having a problem with my contrails.  The ones Microsoft made are somewhat 3D right??  Well when I get up to altitude (FL300) they are flat rather than before.

Has anyone had the problem in the past and know how to correct it?

Thank you

You know how I feel about it!

I haven't played 2k2 in about three years, but if I remember correctly, the contrails were flat.  Maybe someone still playing could clarify.

They are flat.

You should've mentioned that in one of your previous two posts.

Well I thought it was assumed that they were!?

Even FlightSimulator 2004 does that  :-/

My solution is to download and install this:

Hope this helps.

Yup, the contrails in FS8 are flat, but also somewhat 3D, because the textures are twisted trough eachother.

Have you guys tried a re-install? If that didn't work, try searching for the original effect(s).
