Improved Afterburner Effects for Strike Fighters 2


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.

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 :good:

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.

Also you have to make sure you copy the original A\B Position to the new engines positions too.

Yes I just copied Engine entries from the original and modified per the instructions.

Works great.
