Also another thought here, based on seachnasaigh's rather cool viper exhaust. I was wondering if it would be possible to create something like this for real world jets. **Obviously I'm not asking seachnasaigh to do this. But the concept and some basic files are here if anyone wants to try and improve this idea. (link above).** So I looked up some photos of fighter jets from my photo library. My thinking here is something like that needs 3 parts/zones, which like your thrust "cage" would fit slighlty on the edge and a little bit inside the exhaust. Firstly a cylinder for the glowing light created by the thrust. Maybe stretchable so you can choose the length depending on the model. For example Apollo rockets have a longer thrust length than say a euro-fighter. Second part is a cone with the tip facing outwards inside the 1st cylinder to simulate the after burners. This would be set slighlty away from the actual exhaust because real afterburners work by injecting fuel into the hot exhaust gases. An effect you can cleary see on photos. Obviously it would need to be a graduated light from nothing to yellow. Would also need to be made invisible as not every jet makes 'cones'. Finally another stretchable cylinder, this one sits over the other two and might not use light. Instead this one being used for the exhaust/smoke trail.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
