reported Heatblur effect disappears at a certain (too far) distance from the camera.

Here's an example of it working correctly for the F-5E Remastered

Sorry, didn't realize the first log was just me opening and closing the launcher.

An updated heatblur effect would be the way forward, the effect we see now is many years old and needs a revamp 

edit: also there's an ancient visual bug still present to this day that still affects the HUD of the aircraft you're sitting in, if you park or taxi close behind another jet all the HUD fonts wobble with the heat distortion.

Hey @Vee.A

Strange one, indeed. I've raised this internally for analysis. 

Thanks.

I don't know if this F-18 specific, but when you get really close behind another aircraft (this one is AI), the heat blur from the engines just disappears.
