Wasn't there a similar problem in some of the previous 3.6.10 builds where any ship that warped in after the mission start had no thrusters?

Yes, one of the earlier builds I used had that problem.

So long as there are no oddities in the code, I went ahead and corrected the models.

I'll post the credits to Dragon, even though I did not use the supplied models,

Dragon's fix did not solve the problem.  See previous posts after his "fix".  So if the fix is based on what he did, the problem is not fixed.  I'm not sure why Instead of "$engine_subsystem=Engine", thruster details are simply called "Thruster" would cause the problem.  All the Fighter and bomber models are simply called thruster and they work.

In fact, I just corrected the only thing that seemed to me as an issue in .pofs .
If it doesn't work, then it's most likely something worse than simple .pof error.
I'm currently working on a custom support ship for my mod (made from .pof that had only docking point), so I will check if it have thruster glows.
Also, I will check UEF support ship from BP.

The reason that Dragon's "fix" did not work is because in properties he put "$engine_subsystem=Engine" not "$engine_subsystem=$engine" as it should be.

And I have tested them in game, and my fix works.

I tried it and it didn't work for me. Hmmm.....

So did you call the support ship in? It didn't work for me.

I should doube-check everything that PCS2 autonamer offers to me.
Unfortunately it seems to be some more serious issue, thrusterglow is also missing on UEF support ship, I haven't checked my own jet, but it's likely that it will have the same issue.
Thruster on UEF support ship is normally visible in F3 lab, but it's missing when support is called in-mission.

[Hades]

Odd, it works fine if the ship is already present in a mission but when it is called into a mission, the glows disappear...

[Zacam]

Also, $engine_subsystem=Engine is the default auto-fill by PCS and is the correct entry.

However, neither that nor $engine_subsystem=$engine or even having absolutely nothing at all (as all of the player ships are set) have any effect.

I'm baffled. But fiddling with the POF is not resolving the issue.
