A awesome feature in 1.14 that wasn't(was) mentioned!

1.14 Custom exhaust trails and effects

f

With the new update, you wouldn't believe this, You can Change the size and effect of the exhaust trail of a engine. BE CREATIVE! afterburners, engine fire, vapor(above), flamethrower effects and much much more. personally i got overwhelmed a bit too much and stuffed my planes full of these things to test them. this is done via xml
gg

Unfortunately, you dont get to change it much the desire you like, you cant extend the trail length without adding power, the size shape is made in a triangle like scale, the xml thing this Engineexhaustshape: 1,1,1 non of this extends the length without making your plane look like a flying circus. if you set example, the scale as 3,3,1 this will give the exhaust a one-sided enlargement and if you just do 1,3,1 this will give it a 2D effect(seen above) if done correctly, you can make a comic like trail or some sort of spacey style. IT ALSO MEANS YOU MAKE EXHAUST EFFECTS MORE SUITABLE FOR PLANES SUCH AS THE f117,F22 AND OTHER JETS WITH FLAT, NON CIRCULAR EXHAUSTS AND AFTERBURNER ENGINES(sorry for the caps, i couldn't make it with the hashtag effect)

Im a so grateful for this that i wish i could build a stutue od all the developers and hail it 4 hours a day.

    Umm, how do I do a ring like the F-22 but a circle not a box, how do I do that?

    @SimpleTechAndResearch it's the default Unity response to not finding a texture, I think it's so that it's easily spotted for developers to fix

    @SimpleTechAndResearch oh, all the trails are made of big bright pink squares instead of smoke particles

    @SimpleTechAndResearch I'm not sure I understand; you want to know what it looked like before the textures went missing?

    @Skua Ah okay. But can I get a screenshot of what the missing textures are if the game doesn't crash?

    @SimpleTechAndResearch nah, they moved to a new version of Unity which caused a few issues.

    @Skua Okay. I thought the BFE 300 was the problem

    @TheOtherUser Oh. I thought it was the effect when a Minigun or wing gun bullet hits the ground

    @TheOtherUser I think I know why the mod doesn't work for the recent steam version. The BFE 300
