GBJim Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I have Mr. Ito's F-100 Super Sabre, and what a fine flying bird it is. However .... Even though the Effects folder contains flame effects, and I have extracted the contents to both my Airplane and Effects folder, nothing is lighting up back there. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. :) Jim Happiness is FSX Steam and Windows 7 . :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Did the effects come with the download of that aircraft? Have you checked your [lights] section of the aircraft.cfg to see if they are assigned? Doyou have all lights on for takeoff? I have an F100 that I can check out tomorrow morning.

Yes Charlie, the Effects folder was included in Mr. Ito's download. The landing lights and Nav lights are all on, but no afterburner flame. The exhaust nozzle glows a soft red, and maybe that's all that I'm going to get ? Happiness is FSX Steam and Windows 7 . :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Hi zip. Do those effects turn on automatically at high thrust? Or do you need to press a key to light them? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Hi zip. Do those effects turn on automatically at high thrust? Or do you need to press a key to light them?

il88pp Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Thank you zippy. First let of say I thought about you a lot lately. (calif fires) . Hope the smoke is not too thick where you are. Maybe hide out on alcatraz for a while.:) I won't have any time the next two weeks at least. I was making a gauge to do this a year ago, turn on burners at high thrust. Was pretty much done, but not ready for upload. Then ran out of time to do it in, and never got back to it. Working on several others as well. But keeping it on the back burner. (pun not intended.) The main issue was that every plane has is's burner effects at different light.x numbers. (light.7 could be a burner in one plane. But it could be light.9 in another.) ahh well, maybe, someday...

GBJim Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Charlie, I deleted my Lights file from the aircrafts Cfg, and replaced it with yours. Still no flames at the nozzle. She's still a good lookin, good flyin bird, and I can get along without the flames. Please don't go to any additional trouble in trying to make them work, I can live with it the way that it is.
