Aircraft/Loadouts Removal of unrealistic Jet flames

[Platnumsniper 423]

I would like to see the removal of the unrealistic flames coming out of the tailpipes of the various jets and rocket planes. In all honesty if you have that much fire coming out of your tailpipe then your plane either has an afterburner setting (which is something Gaijin has said will never be in game) or you had better be looking for a place to land or a soft place to bail out because that engine is about to explode.

 

Please replace it with something more realistic like this mod/skin by ElephantSandwich which has a small amount of smoke coming from the tailpipe

or just remove the flame and add some heat haze

+1, always bugs me that all jets have this completely unrealisitic flame.

Best regards,

yes im sick of everything have a jet flame...bugs me so much. The only thing that should really have a flame is the Me 262C rocket engines and the Me 163+Ki 200. And maybe also the MiG 9/L with WEP/after burner on.

WEP is not the same as afterburner. WEP is basically adding Water methenol to the engine to provide additional thrust. (Think of it as Nitrous Oxide for planes). Whereas afterburner is adding fuel to the tailpipe of a jet and igniting it (the equivalent of lighting up a rocket booster). Gaijin's Cut off dates are right before Afterburners were designed into combat aircraft

hmm i was told the MiG 9/L had an after burner guess i was wrong :P

Nope it would be Water methanol injection just like on the F9F Panther

To my knowledge the MiG-9/L was actually a prototype that used a modified RD-20 (reverse-engineered BMW-003) which actually had an afterburner.

Note: I'll grab sources tomorrow or whenever I feel like it, it's rather late and I'm using my iPad.

Yeah i made a fool of myself first time i saw jets in RB.
Told him to turn off his afterburner. 
Only to find out he didn't have one and that the 3 foot flame was just "Magical"

[Brogan1 1,512]

Yes please!

+1 from me, jets never spit out flames (only when they start up sometimes- or with A/B) it is a jet, now a blow torch, instead heat haze and black smoke comes out... the black smoke also is very pale

 

edit: that doesn't mean inside the engine shouldn't be red hot, if you look directly inside a jet engine (of course from far away lol) you see some hot parts glowing a bit

• The look of engine flames on jet aircraft have been changed.

Sorry for the necro but I found this while I was considering making this topic myself, in all honesty I think this needs to be done soon, the jet flame, that extends out the rear is way to prominent and unrealistic, It shows in the middle of the day with the engine at 0%... maybe at night there could be a small glow inside of the engine's opening but nothing this blatant, the current jets should only display this when at higher speeds, and shouldn't be a steady flame and should actually be a jittery flare from the engine. Also on a side note the jets should have a dark almost black smoke trail behind them as most/all jet engines at the time were not smokeless and would make the game that much more realistic.

Nope. The RD-20 (RD-21_ on the MiG-9 had a temporary increase in turbine inlet temperature, this is the WEP in game

[ekg98 596]

I am all for adding afterburners.

[SgtPineapple 34]

I'm sure a lot of people wish for this to be implemented, but the real question I have is will it be implemented?
