Is there a way to change the way an aircraft:
-Takes off: like the Transworld C-5 I downloaded takes off like a B-52, and in the editor notes, it says that it does, when it really does not, even when fully loaded.
-Light pattern: Like how FSX default 7474 has that light on the tail for some reason, is there a way to move it, or is it a programing thing?
-Engine Sound: Can you change this to a sound you may have recorded and saved on your PC or is their more to it then just changing the sound file?
Also is the after burning FX an animation file or what? Their are a few aircraft I would like to ad this to.
You can alter a aircraft by editing both the .air file and by fine tuning the Weight and Balance section in the aircraft cfg file
see below
[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]
max_gross_weight = 875000 // (pounds)
empty_weight = 394088 // (pounds)
reference_datum_position = 83.5, 0, 0 // (feet) distance from FlightSim Reference position: (1/4 chord, centerline, waterline)
empty_weight_CG_position = -90.5, 0, 0 // (feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from specified datum
max_number_of_stations = 50
station_load.0 = 170.0, -19.0, -2.0, 8.0 //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.1 = 170.0, -19.0, 2.0, 8.0 //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.2 = 1700.0, -83.5, 0.0, 0.0 //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.3 = 5440.0, -27.0, 0.0, 0.0 //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)

station_load.8 = 23800.0, -160.0, 0.0, 0.0 //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.9 = 18000.0, -52.0, 0.0, -6.0 //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.10 = 6000.0, -123.0, 0.0, -6.0 //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_name.0 = "Pilot"
station_name.1 = "Co-Pilot"
station_name.2 = "Crew"
station_name.3 = "First Class"
station_name.4 = "Business Class"
station_name.5 = "Upper Deck"
station_name.6 = "Coach 1-7"
station_name.7 = "Coach 8-18"
station_name.8 = "Coach 19-34"
station_name.9 = "Forward Baggage"
station_name.10 = "Aft Baggage"
;Moments of Inertia
empty_weight_roll_MOI = 13352310
empty_weight_pitch_MOI = 24223159
empty_weight_yaw_MOI = 39531785
empty_weight_coupled_MOI = 0
[glow=yellow,2,300]I must caution make small changes in the moments of inertia section other wise it can cause strange things like the plane jumpping up and down.[/glow]
The lights can be adjusted by editing this section
[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
light.1 = 3, -223.85, 0.00, 8.85, fx_navwhih ,
light.2 = 2, -228.97, 0.00, 44.62, fx_strobeh ,
light.3 = 1, -45.05, 0.00, 15.65, fx_beaconh ,
light.4 = 1, -80.22, 0.00, -11.05, fx_beaconb ,
light.5 = 4, -18.24, 0.00, 11.19, fx_vclighth,
Mind you all this does is to control where you see the light coming from and does not move the actual light itself as that is part of the model.
And yes you can make any sound you wish you could make it sound like a horse if you wanted to. 8-)
