There are a few mods that add that little detail. Try realspace lite 1.0 or freelancer physics changer.

Never tried it myself but I think you could probably just copy the trail effect down to the player trail effect in engine_equip.ini in your equipment folder.

Example:
[Engine
nickname = ge_gf1_engine_01
ids_name = 263671
ids_info = 264671
volume = 0.000000
mass = 10
max_force = 48000
linear_drag = 599
power_usage = 0
reverse_fraction = 0.200000
flame_effect = gf_li_smallengine01_fire
trail_effect = gf_li_smallengine01_trail
trail_effect_player = gf_li_smallengine01_playtrail

The two lines in bold are what you would normally find just make them look like this:

[Engine
nickname = ge_gf1_engine_01
ids_name = 263671
ids_info = 264671
volume = 0.000000
mass = 10
max_force = 48000
linear_drag = 599
power_usage = 0
reverse_fraction = 0.200000
flame_effect = gf_li_smallengine01_fire
trail_effect = gf_li_smallengine01_trail
trail_effect_player = gf_li_smallengine01_trail

Note the change in bold. Let me know if it works for you.

I should make my own ship...but too lazy..

i cant seem to use the freelancer physics changer. it is giving some error when trying to activate with flmm.

i need ifo on how to make custom engine trails

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
try anything because man made this game. dont mess with creation

So you want a custom effect? I thought you just wanted to sub a npc trail for a player trail. Did you try what I put up above?
If you actually want to mess with the trails and try to come up with something unique then you can try mixing effects in your DATA\\FX\\ENGINES\\engines_ale.ini.

i will have reply by today evening
