Improved Afterburner Effects for Strike Fighters 2 V1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
Put the .INI and .TGA files in the Effects folder.
User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFihgters2\Effects
<<<VERY IMPORTANT!>>>
Then the real work begins:
Open the DATA.ini of the aircraft you want to use these effects.
Since this effect is a combination of 2 emitters, one volumetric and the other in the form of a ribbon(for shock diamonds)... You need to duplicate the engine or engines in this way:
(As exhample the F-105 is used)
[Fuselage]
SKIP ALL THE PARAMETERS
SystemName[001]=Engine
SystemName[002]=Tailhook
SystemName[003]=Airbrake1
SystemName[004]=Airbrake2
SystemName[005]=Airbrake3
SystemName[006]=Airbrake4
SystemName[007]=AftTank
SystemName[008]=BombbayTank
SystemName[009]=CenterlineStation
SystemName[010]=TopFuselageLight
SystemName[011]=Engine2 ADD THE NEW ENGINE
Edit the afterburner emitter on the first engine:
[Engine]
AfterburnerEmitterName=J79-ABEmitter CHANGE TO THIS ONE
Then add the second engine below the first true one.
