Captain Orso Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Event at 27,000 feet I'm not seeing any contrails :huh: Has anybody seen them yet over Normandy?

Roblex Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Here is a video showing high alt combat with contrails. The plane the footage is shot from seems around 27k-28k when the contrails appear behind his own aircraft. I think the contrail height depends on the weather set by the mission designer as obviously temp & pressure & saturation are factors. I have certainly flown at 28K in some servers without seeing contrails. ============================================================================================================================== 56sqn US@R Diary of a hopeless Pilot Officer http://roblex56raf.livejournal.com NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, 16Gb RAM, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 6xxx @ 2700 MHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do I have to do to get some, subscrip to the National Enquirer? ;) The contrailing altitude depends on the temperarure, so it can be that rhey are higher or lower than you think And yes, I've already seen them over Normandy, there are even videos where you can see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Orso Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 I have little to no knowledge of meteorology, especially aeronautical meteorology, but I assumed that summer in the Caucasus with similar ground temperatures to summer in Normandy would mean that temperatures would be similar above 20,000 feet would also be similar and thus very similar altitudes for contrails.

Possible, but temperatures are depending of the settings which the mission designer set it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
