The video below details a few of the aircraft. I have since found the B-24 have the same awful contrail bug.
Currently I have found Six aircraft that are affected by the contrail bug (probably more but I'm only into US AC) five of which are shown below.
The video below shows those aircraft, but also finishes with video showing the current position of the mesh hook for most aircraft.
Followed by a clip showing the authentic position of contrails.
I understand that the P-38 contrails should appear just above the engines as they exhaust from the top rather than behind.......but if behind is easier it's got to be way better than the ones that are there at the moment?
Basically this would be a long winded piece of work (I would think without having any knowledge of what's involved), but to have the contrail start at the aircraft rather than 20-feet behind would be fantastic!
So, the video below shows the positions of misplaced contrails, followed by a P-51D with the current contrail mesh-hook position. Then I used a Blue Screen technique to create a video that shows how the contrail really should look.
Hopefully someone will be able to to a contrails mod and fix the position of the contrails. Can I have first dibs on all P-47, 51 variants though?
