Hello,
I want to add these effects to my addons and to some p3d standard aircrafts .

Do someone know where I can find like these?


light.2=9, -23.0, -1.90, 0.40, fx_F16_Flame
light.3=7, -23.0, 1.90, 0.40, fx_F16_Flame
light.4=9, -20.50, 1.75, 0.41, fx_F16_burn_blue
light.5=7, -20.50,-1.75, 0.41, fx_F16_burn_blue
light.6=9, -19.9, -1.90, 0.40, fx_reheat_afs_F4
light.7=7, -19.9, 1.90, 0.40, fx_reheat_afs_F4

these FX do not work..
Thanks in advance

Hello NC,
I have added these lines in the Aircraft.cfg Boeing T45

[lights]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
light.0 = 3, -0.3, -15.65, -0.5, fx_navred
light.1 = 3, -0.3, 15.65, -0.5, fx_navgre
light.2 = 3, -13.6, 0.80, 1.10, fx_navwhi
light.3 = 2, 3.60, 0.00, 4.00, fx_strobe_t45
light.4 = 1, 1.1, 0.00, 3.6, fx_beacon_t45
light.5 = 1, 8.50, 0.00, -2.35, fx_beacon_t45
light.7 = 10, 13.2, 0.0, 1.6, fx_t45_vclight
light.8 = 10, 7.5, 0.0, 3.5, fx_t45_vclight
light.9= 5, 3.0, -10.00, -1.0, fx_Shockwave_landing_light
light.10= 5, 3.0, 10.00, -1.0, fx_Shockwave_landing_light
light.11=9, -18.0, -0.00, 0.40, fx_F16_Flame
light.12=9, -16.50, 0.0, 0.40, fx_F16_burn_blue
light.13=9, -14.9, -0.00, 0.40, fx_reheat_afs_F4

I found these Effects in my ex-FSX effects folder .

It works for some aircrafts BUT it does NOT work for other aircrafts ... I do not know why ....
I search ....

Have a nice day.

Do the planes that it doesn't show on actually HAVE afterburners?
Does the aircraft.cfg actually show afterburners in the [TurbineEngineData] section?
Are the lines
afterburner_available = 20 //Afterburner stages available?afterburner_throttle_threshold = 0.80 //Percent of throttle range where a/b begins
AfterBurnThrustSpecificFuelConsumption = 1.74 //TSFC with afterburn/reheat engaged

in that section?

Do the planes .air files have the section 1521 Engine Reheat Available= 1 (true) in them?
Do the .air files have the section 1524 Turbine Reheat Thrust factor vs Mach No. in them?

Just trying to think of possibilities...

Emile, as Phantom Tweak suggested, maybe you are trying to add the effect to aircraft that in real life don't have afterburners. The Goshawk that you've pictured have, I believe, a version of the RR Adour engine, which doesn't have an afterburner.
