Because the way the Dec 09 patch handles certain TGAs (HUD and AB effects) is slightly different.

 

Learn how the effects are different (recommend extracting the stock F-15A AB effect) and then make the appropriate changes.

 

We learn by doing.

You could just use a stock AB effect for now - they're pretty darn good! Or try a re-install of those two fine aircraft and see if the instructions remind you of what goes where (in case that's the problem).

First you need to add this line before anything else as below.

DepthBufferCheck=TRUE

DepthBufferWrite=FALSE

IgnoreRenderOrder=FALSE

AlphaTestEnabled=FALSE

LightEnabled=FALSE

UseLightLevel=FALSE

SpecularEnabled=FALSE

EmissiveEnabled=FALSE

AmbientColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000

DiffuseColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000

ZBufferOffset=2.000000

PriorityLevel=3

BlendOp=BLEND_INV_SRC_ALPHA_ADD_SRC

NumTextureStages=1

TextureStage[01].TextureName=AFTERBURNERFIRE.tga

TextureStage[01].MipMap=FALSE

TextureStage[01].FilterEnabled=TRUE

TextureStage[01].StageColorOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE

TextureStage[01].StageAlphaOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE

One More thing

 

Make sure after the Dec 2009 update, make sure that you're not using and old PARTICLESYSTEM.INI

in the Mods "Flight" Directory.

Sigh, so many changes which breaks the mods.

Nothing major though but there's a lot of work involved. I'm getting tired.

now, that's not a fair comment

 

the changes don't break the mods

 

The changes birng support to new technologies and improve the games

 

yes, right after patching, some mods don't work anymore but there is most often than not a way to fix it....so it 's even better afterwards!

On second thought, I did the updating myself.

This upload seems to do the same thing described above.

Now all I have to do is to add the line to all the effects ini that need them.

 

Thanks for all the help everyone.
