i ran it and went up to full throttle in FSX, the afterburners appear. But, they appear UNDER the engine nozzles

Any suggestion?

In the aicraft.cfg, look for this section:

[LIGHTS]
//#1=beacon  #2=strobe  #3=nav
//#4=cockpit #5=landing #6=taxi
//#7=recog   #8=wing    #9=logo

light.0 = 3,   -14,   -21.500,    0.500, fx_navred
light.1 = 3,   -14,    21.500,    0.500, fx_navgre
light.2 = 1,     4,    0.0000,    2.800, fx_beacon
light.3 = 6,   -21,    2.5000,     2.500, fx_f22burner
light.4 = 6,   -21,   -2.5000,     2.500, fx_f22burner
light.5 = 2,   -16,   -23.000,    0.000, fx_Vortices
light.6 = 2,  -16,    23.000,    0.000, fx_Vortices
//light.7= 5,  25.0,    0.00,   -8.50,   fx_llight
light.8= 4,  18.0,  0, 3.0, fx_dsb_vclight_tq
light.9= 4,  18.0,  0, 1.0, fx_dsb_vclight_tq
light.10 = 1,   -14,   -21.500,    0.500, fx_strobe
light.11 = 1,   -14,    21.500,    0.500, fx_strobe

We need to focus on these two lines from that section:
light.3 = 6,   -21,    2.5000,     2.500, fx_f22burner
light.4 = 6,   -21,   -2.5000,     2.500, fx_f22burner

To adjust placement of the A/B change the numbers in these lines,
key as follows:
light#    type   forward/backwards     left/right      up/down     effect
__________________________________________________________
light.4 =  6,              -21,                   -2.5000,     2.500,   fx_f22burner

To make the A/B appear closer to the plane, make the last number smaller. Use SMALL steps! ;) try to picture an X,Y,Z grid around the aircraft with 0 being at the center of the aircraft.
Hope this helps, if not, let me know! ;)

Actually it can't improve that at all. Because I find the light and the flare of the afterburn are seperate,so you can just match one,the light or the flare .

I see what you mean now, I think there is an incompatibility between the DSB A/B effect and FSX. The easiest approach would be to replace the effect with one that works correctly.(unless someone else knows better :-?) It's not that hard. I've done it for several aircraft now.

Check with Boikat on these boards. He got it to work correctly. It may be here somewhere if you do a search, cause Im pretty sure I posted that section of the .cfg before.

If not, i will post my own config up tonight.

download and install either the F/A-37 talon, or SU-47(for FSX), these have the A/B effect we are after, then:

change these two lines:
light.3 = 6,
