Vapour trails messed up?!

Pro Member Trainee

I have white lines falling from behind planes to the ground.

let me explain,

when a ai plane or my own plane get to a certain altitude the vapour trails appear, but also with the vapour trails there is a near vertical set of vapour trails that fall all the way to the ground which then move with the aircraft. I will be sitting waiting to taxi at a gate and i will see these lines appear, that when i know that a plane is passing over head.

anyone else experience this before?
