(Payware) Just Flight English Electric Lightning F.6 on sale now

[MikeH]

Love the Lightning but have a bit of a glitch. A roundel and upper wing walkway lines appear on the inside of the left hand undercarriage door. Noticed it also on the Lightning that features in the Virtual EE Lightning solo display on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G01No5oMIaU so I know that's it's not just my Lightning that's affected. JustFlight tech support were very quick in replying to my question on how I get rid of the fault but could offer no solution. Can anyone help?


Also would like to know how I can add vortices to the wing tips as per the Alphasim Hunter. Have seen the effect on real Lightnings & would like it on my virtual one.

There's a wealth of knowledge on this forum so I'm hoping that someone can help.

Many thanks,

Mike

Just got the Lightning F.6 from JustFlight
Had to re install everything from scratch to get it to work, but work it does :D
Still working through the manual to see how everything works 50k feet and 2M is no problem

I bought this awesome beast a couple of weeks ago but I'm not struck on the camouflage colours they've used so I've done one of my own. This is a WIP of XR771 in No. 11 Squadron colours, now residing at the Midlands Air Museum in Coventry. It's taken a while and still bits I want to do. BTW the inner main u/c door can't be fixed Mike, the texture is mapped to part of the upper wing.






I thought I'd install Rob Barendregt's Me262 cannon effect as well, just for fun! Rate of fire's a bit slow on screen shooting though!

Dave, I like the WIP already, hope you will upload it some day soon It is amazing what your repaints can do for a plane, your F-100, F-101 and F-105 liveries are some of my favorites!

cheers, Henk.

Does anyone know how to apply A2A 3D lights to the JF Lightning. The lights section in the VC cfg looks very strange.

I only added Shockwave landing lights (Nav/Strobe lights FX file names are hardcoded in the MDL file) :

aircraft.cfg:
[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing, 6=taxi, 7=recognition, 8=wing, 9=Logo
light.0= 9, -29.8, 0.0, -0.5, fx_JF_Lightning_Burner, // Eng1 reheat
light.1= 8, -29.8, 0.0, 2.5, fx_JF_Lightning_Burner, // Eng2 reheat
light.2 = 5, -6.2,-6.45, -1.80, fx_shockwave_landing_light_small_old
light.3 = 5, -6.2, 6.45, -1.80, fx_shockwave_landing_light_small_old


panel.cfg:

[Vcockpit01]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=1024,1024
visible=1
pixel_size=1024,1024
texture=$VC_ND1
gauge00=XML!ILS, 65,50,901,901
gauge01=jwb_xml_server!wep, 0,0,1,1
gauge02=Shockwave_Lights!SW Lights_gear, 0,0,20,20

HSCHUIT,Many thanks

There's a service pack available up on the Just Flight website, together with a replacement FDE - NOT for those with a nervous disposition.

The only problems I have with this are:

• The strip ASI doesn't work right. No display of the aircraft speed in knots, nor a knots/mach comparison.
• There's no offset TACAN in the TAC display.
• Heading Hold in the VC seems permanently set to North. You have to go into the 2D panel if you want a different heading.

I've asked Just Flight's technical support 'boffins' to take a look at these.

Any news on this skin?

Any news on this skin?

Dave

Truth to tell, as a painter, there are a few insurmountable challenges with the texture mapping and bump maps on this aircraft. I don't like making derogatory remarks about other people's work so I won't elaborate, but I'm sure everyone involved with it did their very best. For this reason I felt that whatever I did was never going to create a skin that was clean and accurate, and so, with some regret I abandonned it.

Best regards

DaveQ
