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
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.
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.
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.
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.
