welkerwin Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I'm sure everyone here knows that the default F/A-18 Hornet Afterburner effects are HORRID. So, I set about to change them, because the Sludge Hornet uses them for some reason. But there's one problem: I don't know how to take them out! I successfully installed the new ones, only for them to appear with the old ones in the same engine nozzle:p There's no .mdl file, and I didn't see anything in the .cfg. Where are the .fx files for those stupid afterburners hiding? Please help! EDIT: Found the .mdl files, The Sludge aliased them from the default, but how do I safely take the burners out of the .mdl file without screwing something up? I have a hex editor program...

jandjfrench Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 There are 2 mdl files in the Model folder. No plane would work without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welkerwin Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Ok, I found out how to get to the mdl files... but how do I get rid of the burners without causing more problems? I tried deleting them, and It said "Could not display visual model" when I loaded it up. uuuunnnngggggg Volatum Liberum!

PhantomTweak Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Did you think to ask Mr. "Sludge" Snow over on the FSDT FSXBA forum? He, among others, like AHMenace and "Jimi" Hendrix are more than happy to help you out with stuff like this. You might also take a peek at this thread over in the Unofficial F/A-18 Acceleration Pack subforum. It's new paints and FDE's by a person with the amazing un-rememberable (is that a word??) username of hd764jvgd843 (his real name is Peter. Don't ask me) for the FSX default FA-18 as well as Jimi's new version of it (THE FSXBA FA-18C! So far up to v15.2). If he and AHMenace (among a few others) don't know, they'll figure it out, but I think AHMenace did a new afterburner texture(s) for the various FA-18's that are there. Along with some real crisp and sharp VC textures. Hope all that babbling helps out some :) Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again! Sgt, USMC, 10 years proud service, Inactive reserve now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
