Mirage Afterburner during Night

[Rlaxoxo]

While I agree that Afterburner looks nice and all I was wondering if there were any planes of making the afterburner look as close as possible to Real Life

 

For example some Night shots:

 

 

Or is this a limitation put on by DCS it self?

 

Once again the Afterburner looks just fine, just would be awesome if it could look like it does in those pictures imho

Currently DCS Does not have Separate Day/Night Afterburners.

Well, in FC2 there was a day/night switch.

We used it in AdA mod v2 to switch afterburner models and lighting up formation lights.

 

It was on/off so a bit strange when switching, but otherwise very cool.

 

Day:

 

 

Night:

 

Oh, and overwing vapor, too (old school, still nice): http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1490440#post1490440

It should emit the same colors regardless of what the background lighting is. The difference between day and night is due to the background lighting coming through and adding to the AB's emitted light. I don't know if DCS allows for additive light sources or not. Seems like is should but maybe it doesn't.
