Bug #27233
Stock Engine Plume broken since 1.11.1
10%
Description
Stock Engine Plume is broken since 1.11.1:
The engine exhaust does not match the current throttle of the engine:
See picture: The terrier has just little exhaust, even if set to 100% throttle.
The engine it self has no thrust limiter set, meaning it should show full exhaust plume.
It's not just on the terrier engine. As far as I see, it's EVERY Stock engine. The terrier as shown in the picture is just one example.
Visual annoyance. Please fix it soon.

This issue is confirmed to occur. Engine plumes on stock engines will display with subdued VFX when compared visually to 1.10.1 engine plumes.

Updated by More details: based on my 1.11 gameplay experience, it looks like the plumes display normally from 0% to 50% thrust, but, at thrust settings greater than 50%, the plumes' VFX is stuck at the 50%-thrust exhaustiness.
Also, it looks like airbreathing jet engines (that produce plumes at all - i.e., Panther [wet mode], Whiplash, and Rapier) might be unaffected, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Apparenlty, since 1.12 for the Terrier engine, the bug looks like fixed, this is the only engine I've found for the glitch to be corrected, I hope other engine's plume will be fixed soon :D

Frustrating! Without nice plumes KSP is not playable for me. Thaty's why I installed the waterfall mod, as the devs seem not to be interested in fixing this properly. I wrote in the original posting, that many engines are broken in that way.

Also all SRBs show weakened plume.

Thats sad, I installed Waterfall to in order to make plume looks good, but I'de rather prefer playing without visual mod because my computer cannat handle hard mod.
I hope they will see it, I think they've saw it because the terrier is fixed, maybe they've just done a quick test before appling to every other engine, I hope ;D
Honestly when I look how many bug they are deeling with in the early days, I think they will correct this one :D
