Note that it already doesn't tile perfectly.

It almost reminds me of the Ghostbusters proton pack effects.

looks interesting.

I think that the bitmap, need a look such a ray, but, because is for a afterburner, and for the model with no deformation,need a more enviroment of glow, with more particle.

A ray, but a afterburner

and a ray more defined

I think!(?)

Luck!

That's not the kind of effect I'm trying to create.

jaja is a "quickly job"  ,  but If you like recreate, with more closely to the original, for a contrail o afterburner trail, perhaps you like make some such this:

and later, make changes for adapt to a afterburner trail.

IMO, 

luck!

You don't seem to get it. First of all, your effects would have the exact same problem with tiling as mine- they would need to be stretched across several polygons to look good. Second, I have the effect mostly the way I want it to look. This thread is not about the effect itself, it is about a feature I need implemented in FSO. Which I have already posted about in Fury's 3.6.13 feature requests thread.

There's actually no reason to keep posting here.
