F14 AB glow and heatblur effects behind carrier Blast Deflectors

[Boosterdog]

From low angles of view from directly behind, the glow of the F14's ABs can been seen on the deck of both the SC, regular carriers and CV59.  Heat blur effects are also present to the rear of the blast deflector for all Carrier Based Modules and AI. 

The issue appears to be resultant from the F14s own lighting (which I will report on the HB page) which illumninates a much larger area to the rear of the aircraft than it possibly it should n comparison to the F18 and RL images. 

The problem is most manifest in the F14 AI launch prceedure on the SC and regular carriers when the AI proceedure holds the aircraft for period of time before launch but is also apparent with F14 AI on the CV59 although the jet moves almost as soon as the ABs are lit . 

Primarily HB F14 issues but reported here since both surface light (and possibly) heat effects should not be apparent on the blind side of objects and as such a core (or at least a generic Carrier) issue. 

Thanks
