aesthetic tip wing trails and con-trails

[cikho]

hello everyone!

i'm not new to KSP, but new to the forums

i was wondering if someone mind to create a mod (or if it exists) that adds contrails on tipwing during turns..

and condensation clouds during hard turns..

this should not be hard.. i think reading the AOA value should be enough..

if >0 emit tip trails

if >>0 add cloud with effect similar to trans sonic speed effect for example..

maybe the most difficult part could be to identify what is a wing tip instead of a wing-part tip, when creating larger wing from multiple parts..

it's not something needed, but i feel like i'm missing them when i fly

This would be awesome, especially if it were combined with a more dense sonic boom cloud at low altitudes, and would really help with debugging dynamic pressure.

yep, it will also give a fast visual feedback on AoA, since if =/= tiptrails should be seen..

Not sure which mod was doing this back in 0.90, but this plane was throttled to the point where it was stuck transsonic ( I run FAR always ) & had this shockwave cloud the entire time.

I had a lot of mods in that install.

I'd like altitude contrails also, just for the fun of it. That is probably a taller order than localised effects though...

FAR could tell you where a wingtip is at least, I'm not sure about local areas of low pressure.
