Afterburner drawing ...bug!!

Post by Lazypete »

I and my friend just noticed that when you use the afterburner
the fire drawn behind your ship's engine last for a while.

Its really nice, but as the sound stop and the fuel stop to flow in the engine, the flame should stop also don't you think?

By the way... the afterburner flame is really awesome!
At first they will ignore you,
then they will laugh at you,
then they will fight you,
then you will win.

it's not really a bug, it's just that the flame length is determined by your velocity, not your acceleration.....

I personally think that it should be calculated based on your acceleration along the flame's normal vector....but that's just me (then we could have little side "thruster flames" etc for breaking, strafing -- if you've got those keys enabled -- etc)
