Generating cone shaped rocket flame

[japetus]

I'm reworking an old model of a BSG ship for fun, I want to give it exhaust more like in the show, which is probably not physically accurate, but i've been trying to get a more cone shaped exhaust like in this screenshot from the show. I'm generally getting good results, but it's not becoming a cone, any ways to achieve this through the sim? Or insight into this volumous shape?

Not sure if this will be of help?

Here is a scene that Svetlin made with jet flames in it and I believe it has hidden emitter objects that give off different shaped flames:

Also if you do a search for 'jet engine flame' you'll see some more posts about it.

Thanks guys, got something close to what I was wanting...was also nice to see how the fire opacity mapping was used!
