Make the contrails the same materials as the smoke from the engines instead of using pngs, since it really affects the quality of taking a screenshot or cinematic.
(If it's too laggy, add an option to disable or lower the quality of other players' contrails or just simply turn them into pngs)

You’d be surprised.

tell me which aeronautican owns a 4090
not to brag, but I have a 4080, and I still manage to get only 50 fps at clarence, so think it's rather the memory usage than the graphics
jagged crane
roblox is more dependent on cpu

roblox is more dependent on cpu
And I have an i9
and I get average 65 fps in aeronautica, which is really weird, so I think it's the server's memory usage causing the lag
jagged crane
thats what i thought too

i feel like contrails could just use a modified aerobatic smoke or whatever its called
ashen stone
It's mainly the server's memory issue, since I have my other pc that only has a ryzen 5 and it's still 50 fps with the same graphic settings

Yes, or just take PTFS's one as a reference

whether you like it or not, it will still be a png
aerobatic smoke also uses pngs

the aerobatic smoke looks better tbh

Then why did the devs use actual smoke particles for the smokes instead of implementing to the contrails?

i just feel that the pngs used for contrails currently are suboptimal

where did you get the source for that

where did you get the source for that
You can check it by youself
just use a random old jet plane and adjust your view to the back

ur talking about the current contrails?

Yes

thats png too
ashen stone
Yes ik

this contrail?
yeah they're all pngs
aeronautica isn't using any smoke particles at all, only to those at scenery
matter of fact, aeronautica in the past did use the smoke particle, changed to pngs to save performance, as well as aesthetic
smoke particles are produced in dots and not in a line unlike the current smokes you see in today's aeronautica
meaning, if ur laggy, ur smokes will have a very noticable spacing in between
jagged crane
no idea what happened in the pic shown in the original message
regal gyro
pretty sure i still have a recording of the old "smoke particles" used in aero 2023-24

moving the emitter in a spiral, with 10 frames
would you rather play this game practically or aesthetically?
you're almost answering if you want to play in 120 frames or 30 frames

yeah as shown here

this is literally what they are
jagged crane

im stupid
i was confused bc the first image looked different
gusty ore

Damn I’m old now.
I still remember when the current style of contrails were new and everyone just… knew this as fact.
floral ore
Contrails used to be smoke particles
Turns out, their range is terrible, inconsistent in numbers
Performance is questionable, leaves gaps especially at higher speeds
gusty ore
Great for seeing when you are lagging though.
Though that was less a conscious design decision and more just the particles being awful.

This would absolutely kill FPS
Even the exhaust smoke already puts a damper
ashen stone
This would absolutely kill FPS
so make it as a setting (probably) so player can disable it

just leave this suggestion as a no man's land, cuz anyways it's not gonna be added

yea no full throttle in my stratofortress with the smoke drops my fps by like 30
this would kill the game performance for such a small change
