FS25 Contrails V1.0

Contrails adds realistic airplane flyovers with persistent vapor trails to the sky in Farming Simulator 25. Planes appear at random intervals, fly across the map at configurable altitude and speed, and leave behind expanding, fading contrails — just like real high-altitude aircraft. At night (20:00–05:00), planes display blinking red, green, and white navigation lights for added realism.
Key Features:
Up to 3 concurrent flyovers with staggered batch spawning
8 airplane sprite variations and 16 puff textures for visual variety
Realistic trail behavior with sqrt-based diffusion, per-segment drift noise, and 60-second lifecycle
3D positional flyover audio with distance-based attenuation
Full in-game settings UI (LAlt+C) for adjusting altitude, speed, frequency, and max planes
Persistent settings saved to XML between sessions
Night navigation lights (port red, starboard green, tail blink, strobe)
Debug mode with console commands and HUD overlay
Supported Languages: English, Hungarian, German, French, Spanish, Polish, Italian, Dutch
Note: Singleplayer only for now. Multiplayer support is planned for a future update.

That sounds like a fantastic addition to Farming Simulator 25! The Contrails feature seems to bring a high level of realism to the game by incorporating detailed airplane flyovers with persistent vapor trails. The inclusion of random intervals, configurable altitude and speed, as well as expanding and fading contrails mimic the behavior of real high-altitude aircraft. The night mode with blinking navigation lights further enhances the realistic experience for players.

Key features like concurrent flyovers, airplane sprite variations, realistic trail behavior, 3D positional audio, and customizable settings offer a great level of control and immersion. The inclusion of different languages for localization shows attention to detail for broader accessibility.

The planned multiplayer support in a future update will likely enhance the experience for players who enjoy collaborating and interacting with others within the game world. Overall, the Contrails feature seems well-designed and adds an exciting new element to the already immersive world of Farming Simulator 25.
