No. In ANH we see it power up and you see the rear of the falcon from the moment it is taking off. In the Bespin platform shot we don't see the engines power up as the Falcon is facing the camera then turns to fly off, but by this time the engines have already powered up.

Don't forget that the engine sound effect was only added for the trailer because i had to add new sound FX because i couldn't use the movies soundtrack due to the music in that shot.. this isn't how it appears in the movie

Damn, I actually liked the new placement of the sound effect, and thought that you were changing the audio for that shot. It sounds logical to have it there.

Okay, here's my final attempt to sway you, Ady... in ANH:R (which I just watched a bit ago to search for other examples of how the engine glow works) there is the sequence of the Falcon lifting up, going into reverse, and turning around, as Han and co. are escaping the Death Star after Obi Wan's self-sacrifice. In THIS shot, the glow is full while the Falcon turns around, BUT... when it boosts off, the glow intensifies quite a bit... so, could there at least be a similar change in the intensity of the engine glow as the Falcon finishes turning around and boosts off from the Bespin platform? This may also require adding that sound effect placement from the trailer... but I like where it is placed in the trailer, so that wouldn't bother me one bit.

My logic for being so strong behind this idea is that the Falcon is not casually lifting up, turning around, and flying away. If it were, then no intensifying of the engine glow wouldn't bother me so much. But like the Death Star take-off sequence, the Falcon is trying to escape, so it would seem like the Falcon would be in a hurry to fly off just the same as before.

Sorry if I'm being buggy about all of this. If you say no, thats cool. Just thought it would be worth a try.

BTW, awesome to hear you're upgrading the boost effect in the Avenger chase sequence!
