Now I get it. In the old days (back in the day) when TV stations went off the air all you get is the 'war of the ants' screen LOL I had no idea it was called that, but I guess it does look like ants at war. I don't know if TVs do that anymore with digital technology.

I think more like staggered flashes of light. Try keyframing different light sources/colors/intensities maybe?

In one of the tutorials there is a section where dust is added. I believe it was dust coming from under the Knight's foot - I know I saw it somewhere. I wonder if you can manipulate that dust to give the illusion of smoke for your Harrier. Great looking Harrier BTW.

Looks pretty good. Noseplate behind headlights? How do you mean?
