Real Plume

Get tired of the little tiny spouts of flame the Kerbals call Rocket Exhaust? Wish your plumes expanded like they do in real life, giving you that immersive realistic feel of spaceflight? Well look no further, Real Plume is here to save the day!

Overview

Real Plume is a set of FX and prefabbed configs for Sarbian's Smokescreen Plugin. At the core is a series of polished prefabricated generic plumes. They've been designed to be easily attached to any engine with a single node in a config file, bypassing the work of tweaking and adjusting a plume for every single engine.
