Smoke ??? - Possible?

What aboute a smoke system , is it possible ??
Next verson ??

Nice idea. A smoke trail would certainly help you see how accurately you were flying your aerobatic figures. Obviously it would need to disperse with time so the sky didn't fill up with smoke, but a good idea.

Yes, a smoke trail would be very helpful indeed!
Alternatively, how about some "projected lines" instead, i.e. the trail would consist of lines looking like a HUD-projection instead of smoke - I drew that idea from ACMI-systems in some other flight-sims... (I guess this would also be easier to code than smoke-particles)
Either way it's important that the trails (plural!) come from the tip of both wings, not from the tail - this would make it easier to retrace the figures flown, plus it would look a lot cooler...
Oh, and if you decide for the projection-lines, how about filling the space in between the two lines with some color, e.g. blue for the topside and red for the bottom side; this would make it even easier to retrace the maneuvers... (check to see some illustrations of what I'm thinking of)

How are the chances of this idea being realized?

i think the is very nice
and it make fms more realistic...

No response from the developer(s)?

:p Realy great idea! I always think on it! We're waiting answers from the developers! Most helicopters left a smoke path...

I just played the Lock On demo; there you can activate wingtip-smokers, green smoke on one side and red smoke on the other wing - that looks kinda cool too...
