Finally downloaded and installed this fine bird ( v1.2) for my FSX-A. Initial test flight very positive but I seem to have 2 problems.
I don't get the nice afterburner flame effect apparent in the screenshots. When at full throttle I only see a bright blue glowing 'star'
pattern that surrounds and actually bleeds through the exhaust nozzle but no flame. I wonder if I've somehow previously overwritten
any previous default .fx files that that this effect depends on. I have several other aircraft both payware and freeware installed that use an
afterburner effect (Aerosoft F-14, Dreamteam f-18, Dino's birds, etc) .

Some guidance on what to look for to troubleshoot and get the AB effect as intended, would be most appreciated.

The second issue is that my test traps on Javier's Nimitz all fail with the F8 going 'through' the deck and landing in the water, as if
the ship is visible but not actually there. This is the only aircraft that fails in this manner. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help and to the creators of this most excellent freeware.
