a smoke sim test my first at this quality i used a curve path for the plane and used a sphere and an extruded circle or the emitters i then applied a explode modifier to the plane and timed the explosion and used it as a flow object but i set it to smoke so you can see the tendrils
This is really cool
looks pretty cool! i think for more realism you could have the smoke and fire go in the directions of the missile and the plane instead of just appearing out of thin air
