Is the Afterburner lighting sequence correct?

[ST0RM]

I've watched the ATAC Mirage F1s many times, during their takeoff. The afterburner starts out as a small orange flicker as the ignitor ring begins to come in contact with the fuel. The flame grows to fill the exhaust and then fully cones out the tail. 
On the DCS version, it's just all ON or OFF. There is no ignition delay. 
I found this yesterday when calibrating my AB percentage in the settings.

There is ignition delay, but it's certainly not shown in the manner you're describing. It would be cool if we could have that sequence work in game.

Hi @ST0RM,

As @Bremspropeller says there is indeed an ignition delay, shown in the cockpit by the illumination of the INJ red light near the engine RPM gauge. What you describe would correspond more to visual enhancements of the animations of the external 3D model.

Thank you @fausete and @Bremspropeller
Hopefully in the future, we can get such an enhancement.
