Milviz F-15E Service Pack

**dougal** · February 26th, 2012, 08:10

Hi guys

I took a refund on this a little while back after having had my FSX PC stolen JUST after purchasing the F15:isadizzy:

Having another FSX PC up and running, I'm VERY interested in this again, but one thing I didn't like from the beginning was the after burner effects. I've only seen one screenshot of this, post SP so far, and don't like it.

I'd be very grateful if anyone can post some more after burner screenshots.

Many thanks

The AB from the LN paint.

Are you using bloom? Cuz they should not be nearly so intense. Also those are the night burners which are different from the day burners.

**strykerpsg** · February 26th, 2012, 10:34

Diego and Ken, PM sent.

Great job overall and thanks for the fantastic dedication to the consumer's finished product.

Nope.

**Naruto-kun** · February 26th, 2012, 10:42

ENB or anything like that? Because seriously the burners in that shot look absolutely ridiculous and nothing like mine. Ill post a shot of mine shortly.

Can you please post this information for Colin's attention at the MilViz forums: http://www.milviz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1698

No ENB this is an nacked FSX.

**Naruto-kun** · February 26th, 2012, 11:00

Here are how they should be:

Attachment 60000

With that said though we are checking to make sure that we didnt put old effects in.

**Thunderbolt** · February 26th, 2012, 11:15

I have fx_Milviz_day_burner.fx, is from 21.12.2011 03:20

**Naruto-kun** · February 26th, 2012, 11:47

Thats the nozzle fires for the day burners. The night burners are named RD_AB_S1 to 6.

**Thunderbolt** · February 26th, 2012, 11:56

from 24.12.2011 07:17

**Naruto-kun** · February 26th, 2012, 12:03

Thanks will check that with what it should be.

On some planes, the burners will use the default texture fx1.bmp (or one of the fx*.bmp, I don't remember which one exactely) to display the burners "body".
If this texture has been replaced by some "light" addons, like "Nick's light fix" for example (which replaces the round lights by star lights), then the burners will start looking ridiculous.
Perhaps Thunderbolt has installed some addon like that ? Or does the Milviz burner effect refers to a specific texture instead ?

**strykerpsg** · February 26th, 2012, 12:37

Got, it and have to say wow! I was able to test fly the beta's and can say this is a totally different bird altogether.

Ken, does the installer install your HAS's to the appropriate Mudhen fields? Also, I didn't see any missions contained with the file, do we donwload those from Milviz seperately? Thanks again. May have to call in sick on Monday now.

Matt

**dougal** · February 26th, 2012, 12:38

So is that confirming that a normal Milviz installation is NOT like those shown in those bizarre screen shots?

Thanks

**strykerpsg** · February 26th, 2012, 12:40

Mine look like Naruto's.

No light addons installed, but with the aircraft from A2A or VRS Superbug comes the A2A light effects ?

In the FSX.cfg I found this BLOOM_EFFECTS=1 ?

***Daube*** · February 26th, 2012, 13:11

BLOOM_EFFECT=1 means that the FSX native bloom is enabled, in the FSX advanced graphic options.

Hi
Some tests I made with after-burner...
Found out that when I press “I” key got flares? and a strange afterburner effect with no change in aircraft thrust, no action with joystick thrust lever.
Normal afterburner, with joystich, the one with the yellow circles.
L key onlt nose gear landing light...
No bloom effects, only “Shade” and REX together with GEX.

Windows 7 64 8 Gb RAM and Nvidia G-Force 560 Ti

Hope this helps

Regards

**Skyhawk_310R** · February 26th, 2012, 16:14

The way the code was written for this jet, you should use the switch on the left console to cycle the landing and taxi light -- don't use the I or the L keys.

Price increase from $39.95 to $50?

**MenendezDiego** · February 26th, 2012, 18:23

Regarding the price,

Originally the price was to be $50.00.

We decided to have a promotional period upon release, and set the price to $39.99.

After it became evident we needed to produce a Service Pack, we opted to keep the price at $39.99 for those who agreed to purchase the F-15E with the promise of a Service Pack which would fix the issues.

In short, we kept the price at $39.99 as a way of saying thank you, and sorry to our customers who were hanging on and sticking with us throughout the Service Pack process.

Now that the service pack has been released, the price is now at the original intended price of $50.00.

$50.00 is a great price for this aircraft. I believe that if someone purchases the aircraft, and takes a little time to read the manual/do some system flying, they'll feel more than satisfied.

As always, there is a 30 day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.

Hope that answered your question, Diego

Looking at this. For now just use Cowl flaps open incrementally. Trying to find a way to trigger the cowl flaps event and the flare effect without triggering the burner and other effects.
