When a fighter is stopped, the engine flame is shrunk lengthwise.  Could someone please tell me how the engine determines the point to which to shrink the flame?

I'm guessing it must be the thruster not the ship.

Can you change the point by moving the axes around in Truespace? Or does FS2 ignore the axes and do the calculation itself?
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
