those entries with the ".fx" names were added to SF2 and FE2 to support DX10. When bringing something over from SF1/Wo*/FE1, one needs to add the shader and material statments to the effects ini. OTH, locating updated or SF2/FE2 effects might be easier! (I"m lazy! )

Everything is brighter under a TROPIC MOON

I have a friend that accidentally entered the White House airspace a few good year ago (when he went to pilot school in DC), he responded to the call and lucky for him that only the police were waiting for him

That seems to have done the trick, I added "EffectShaderName=xxxxx.fx" to all the [xxxxMaterial] sections for all the .ini files under the effects folder you sent me. Now I see the fires, smoke and tracers in all their glory :) The bad news is that just last night, as things were looking up, the z axis of my flight stick decided to stop working... its a logitech extreme 3D pro (they are cheap, and have had it for at least 7 years...). The rudder is now not centered, planes lean left, and does not go fully to the right. Anyway, makes it challenging. I was just gonna buy the same one on amazon, since they are 35 bucks only. But, I thought since you guys have been so helpful, maybe you would have a good recommendation. Any suggestion gents? Thanks!

while many are interested in the Tomcat, the ones who have done the most as far as mods are pretty busy IRL now. however, Gimp and the tutorials posted here are free. only needs the time spent on makin em (stares back at ya.....)

Thank you very much!

Sorry about that Erik. I was looking for it on thirdwire's webpage, and since I couldn't find it I considered it was kind of not off topic. Thank you Wrench, I was talking about the exporter, nothing illegal.

Dear Pilots, It’s the summer holiday season and many team members are taking their hard-earned vacations. So, as a result our ability to give you super detailed Developer Diaries is diminished a bit. However, we have the first shots of our American P-47D-28 “Jug” in the engine. The cockpit is under development and these shots are of course Work In Progress. She’s turning out to be quite the beauty! We hope you enjoy! You can discuss the news in this thread.

In the most usual way. Unzip and copy all files into your Objects/Pilots folder. The folder names are the names of the new pilots. Putting the pilots into a plane: Open the plane's DATA.ini file. Find the section for crew (about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way down). Change the PilotModelName to the name of one of the new pilots. Save the file and fly. True, there is one difficulty: you have to manually change the pilot's seat position in the DATA.ini of each aircraft. Example: // Crew --------------------------------------------------------- [Pilot] SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT PilotModelName=wwiPilotNew2 PilotHeadNodeName=head //Position=0.0,-0.65,0.65 <----------------old pilot position Position=0.0,-0.55,0.61 <-----------------new pilot position MinExtentPosition=-0.25,-0.85,-0.55 MaxExtentPosition= 0.25,-0.41, 0.38 ( Or ask those who have already put the pilot in the right place)

The earlier crew turned out to be a bunch of Yankee infiltrators, they have been arrested and replaced with proper flak crew.

For those enjoying the new fire and smoke effects with the ver. 9.5 FM update pack, you will notice that sometimes balloon explosions give no smoke or fire, sometimes a small trail of smoke, fire, etc., and sometimes a bigger fiery explosion (as historical...balloons would sometimes not even light up when punctured and destroyed, although not frequently). If you prefer the larger, more consistent explosions for balloon fire of previous FM version packs, they can be found in the large, consolidated ver. 8.9 folder - but I am also including them below for convenience. Happy flying, Von S

All ships that have a usable flight deck should have a separate flight deck LOD file stated in its data file. Sometimes you can cheat by using that statement alone (with no physical lod).
