Hey Captain Sim team...excellent work so far on the 104 project. I have some info just in case you are interested. How about adding Vapor Trails to the 104?
A freeware file has been recently released that is basically a modified smoke effect. I found out about this over at Phoenix Simulations website (another high quality aircraft sim developer). To make a long story short, Phoenix is planning to add the effect to their A320 series and/or future addons. Furthermore, they talked about creating an XML gauge to look at the planes height to turn the smoke system on or off. For example think of a radar altimeter gauge...when the plane is "X" amount of feet above the ground the vapor effect is activated.I think that is awesome and it would add that extra special visual effect to the F-104.
Heres a link to that forum:
