Engine plumes

[Vl3d]

Seems to me that methalox engines have one placeholder plume. If you look at it straight on, it's kind of transparent. Anyway, I think the atmospheric plumes from KSP1's waterfall look better for smaller engines. Hope they'll be improved in KSP 2 also.

some of those are because the stock waterfall effects are based on engines with different fuels, but yes I agree the atmospheric plumes could do with a bit more shock diamonds

I like all the 'space' ones better in KSP2... but, yeah, the variation of the in-atmosphere effects in 1 was cool

Agreed, I feel like they have a bit more character to them overall. Though the expanding plumes in space in KSP 2 are nice.
