Hey, you're welcome for the explanation, but you are in no means at all
wrong by saying 7,000 meters. That is just circa what it was in IL-2 1946 because the atmosphere was always the same. You'd get contrails in IL-2 because of the height you were flying at, not because of the surrounding air. So you could very well get contrails at 7000 meters, if it's cold enough
For the interested, here's showing that not only wingtips create vortices
Flap during typical humid day:
And this is why you need carburettor heaters
That stuff would ice up really fast if it wasn't heated
Typical propellers also create vortices
