No smoke on rockets like the AIM120
-
Searched around and couldn’t find anything…
I’ve recently installed 4.34 and everything is basically stock, except for high-res textures and airfields.
I have no smoke whatsoever on AIM120s. Did I mess up the config somewhere?

Don’t confuse with contrails:

Okay, so sometimes it is completely smokeless and sometimes it is with smoke, probably depending on launch altitude IRL.

Honest question then…
If that last vid is a contrail for the missile? Why isn’t the launching aircrfat developping contrails either? -

Nope. Some is not equal with contrail. Sometime it has trail sometimes does not but it is not rocket smoke. It is same case as for airplanes. It depends on temp and humidity.

Not the same exhaust pressure … Not the same temp … etc …

And small unburnt particles in the trail for missile…

Some more info.

Contrails all depend on conditions of the day - altitude, humidity, G level, temp, where the freezing level is, conditions of local flow, etc. Predicting them is sort of a “weather art”.
