> You can disable shadows on an object with a no-shadow tag. Ah yes, forgot about that one. Here are two more screenshots with shadows and more spherical contrail elements as Gerard suggested. I think it looks better without the contrails.
Anyway these are posted for amusement only. I don't expect to get the contrails looking nice any time soon. (They do look nice from a suitable distance and angle :) I'll try the billboard idea next. http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/refuel-f16-004.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/refuel-f16-005.jpg Some longer-range shots: http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/refuel-f16-006.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/refuel-f16-007.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/refuel-f16-008.jpg BTW, with 5 contrails going at once there are about 635 AI objects in the contrails.
