If I had to guess, I'd say that your new flamethrower's projectiles have an extended lifetime (which is why they hit the target) but the projectile's particle systems don't (causing it to disappear prematurely).
If this is the case, then the solution is to add new particle effects to DragonTankFlameProjectileUpgraded2's BoneFXUpdate module to cover the new case that your new flamethrower's projectiles might be beyond the original projectile's intended range. Give that a try.

OK so I gave it a fuel lifetime of 0, which means infinite. It still cuts out 3/4ths the distance. How to find more flame effects? I am a total newbie at modelling.
