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. Dave Sure contrail with distance and angle are nice. About model within shadow, it is not easy to get a got effect, the shadow is not smooth ( that is the process). -- Gerard ___ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

However, I'm not sure if network latency problems will allow formation flying of sufficient accuracy to get the boom to mate up.

You could draw them very subtly dark at low altitude for those older jet engines that don't burn as efficiently as the new ones.
