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.

+PureBlue Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Awesome !! Just modded one for the Phantom. Questions: I put in two extra engines. Do the EngineIDs need to be set to 3 and 4? Also how about the Armor, is it irrelevant in this case? Thanks Quote
+Spillone104 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Posted November 1, 2011 Engine ID is used for instruments in the cockpit. I guess is irrilevant if the engines are called 3 and 4 instead of 1 and 2 again. For the armor I think it changes nothing since it will only protect with the same value the fake engine. Quote
+russouk2004 Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Also you have to make sure you copy the original A\B Position to the new engines positions too. Quote
+PureBlue Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Yes I just copied Engine entries from the original and modified per the instructions. Works great. Quote
B52STRATO Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 There you've given us a nice gift ! For now it's the best adterburner add to the YF-12. Quote
