Wake Vortex in FS
EHM-1617 Iain:
I have seen engine smoke many times in FS but I have never seen this before - it appears to be proper 'wake vortex' coming off the bits that jut out the back of the wings (not engine smoke that is usual).
I saw it on a flight today - EBBR to EDDF with the A320 - it was a little misty in Frankfurt and the sun was low.
Photo taken at 5000ft just after the U-turn point in the GPS transitions to runway 25. Was flying online, in FS2004.
Its not so clear anymore after resizing it and converting to jpg. But I can tell you that it was definately coming out here:
Where the arrows are.
Anyone else seen this (and don't get confused with the engine smoke ;))
EHM-1343 Jonathan:
Yes, it is on IFDG aircraft, happens when you pop your flaps down;D
EHM-1617 Iain:
Razza can tell you flaps were most definately up, was at 220KIAS level at 5000 and had the flaps up to save fuel and noise.
EHM-1343 Jonathan:
Yeah, it also happens when climbing and doing acceleration i think
EHM-1001 Robert:
Many aircraft models have these effects. If you got an Effects folder with the aircraft, you may find a nice vortex too in it. But on some models, it must be initiated with "i" key - stands for smoke system normally.
