Why is the turbine contrail effect so short in X Plane?

Question

There is no way to post the image I have, but the contrail effect is disappearing with less than 80 meters in length, what can it be?

Comments

Is the image your trying to post have png suffix on the end of name or some other incompatible suffix? If so save the image as jpg or jpeg, in a suitable image viewer or editor app. I have Linux and use pix for that. In Windows Paint might work. I'm not certain though. When saving as jpg I delete the png suffix and replace with jpg. You should be able to upload the image then.

About the contrail length, I see that it is too short and also too dark. I did a bug report about it being too dark, during the beta stages of X-Plane 11. More people need to do this to raise its importance I think.

I agree, too dark and too short. I would rather say it is 1 km long in my sim.

Answer 1

X-Plane 11 has a new particle effects engine that might receive additional tuning in a later update.
