you created a great tutorial buddy. Your exhaust was going in a straight line so the flame was coned.
My character is movie throughout the screen, so how do i maintain a cone shape. The Jet pack effect??? Possible???? user added image

Once again thanks for that customized tutorial. I was like "star of the day" for my team when i took that tutorial to our studio user added image

Yes the jet exaust is set up for a normal jet or rocket going farward, to get the effect you need try changing the emitter to directional then it will be a case of changing the speed setting..................dave
