Jet exhaust (afterburner and without)

[kamikazi21358]

So when can we get a patch like this?[i.redd.it]

I think it has been long enough with the unrealistic jet engine animations, now that afterburners are a thing, perhaps we can see more realistic jet exhaust?

With afterburner: http://fighterjets.com/images/mig_main_small.jpg


The fiery engine effects are unrealistic for jets, as they don’t glow like that except for when using afterburners and such.

Another example I found:

(MiG-21, but you can clearly see little to no flames without the afterburner, while the afterburner has a large flame)

Meanwhile in game, for the MiG-19 and F-100 for example, there is very little difference between normal flight and afterburner, because of the regular jet exhaust already looks like what a jet engine looks like with an afterburner.

Also, they still use “WEP” for when you go afterburner, they didn’t even create new text for it.

This thread already existed I thought in form of complaint to devs. Its a video game for entertainment purposes some liberties on visuals to make it more apealing were done. Check official forums if you want to find mods and talk to people who can actualy change things...

Now that afterburners are actually in game though, I thought now would be a good time to re-bring it up.

Plus it looks stupid af.
