There is a mod which produces brief, big flames on startup:
(The link is inoperative)
Most dedicated night-flying aircraft had flame dampers of some sort or another, which mostly canceled flame effects, so I've never considered them to be crucial. It's also easier to see aircraft at night in IL2 than it was in real life; by the time you'd be close enough to see the dampened flames on a real airplane, you're close enough to see the entire airplane, even if its nav lights are turned off.
I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard to add in small, permanent flame effects, though. Is there any reason why this couldn't be done? (FM/DM changes, hit on frame rates?)
