[Fictional] C-24 / C-24B Super Hornet

 

This is a mod of the Super Hornets E and F from EricJ to make them look like planes from the spanish air force.

 

BACKGROUND:

In 2010, command of the EDA asked for the possibility of replacing their EF-18As and Bs with the more advanced E and F versions. Diplomacy made it possible that the Obama administration would take the old planes back and make a special offer. In 2012, the first squadrons received the new planes. Since the former Hornets wore the designation "C-15", the Super Hornets ought to have been designated C-15VA and CB-15VA, but these designations were too long so the Super Hornets were then called "C-24".

 

 

INSTALLATION:

Simply drop the Folders into your Strike Fighters Mods Folder.

 

ALL READMES FROM THE ORIGNIAL MODELS ARE INCLUDED.

Hi, I know this is an old mod, but I am having difficulty getting the afterburners to work. 

In the C-24_Data under Engines--> Engine 1 I struck out

AfterburnerNodeName=LeftAB
AfterburnerEmitterName=F18AfterburnerEmitter

and replaced with copied (from a working Hornet)

AfterburnerNodeName=afterburner
AfterburnerEmitterName=HornetEffects

The right burner was lit up, so I did the same to Engine 2, but, no burners at all.

It turns out that I can only get one or the other.

Any ideas?
