I think I've got this figured out, it requires modifying the aircraft and panel cfg's, if you have a plane that you want throttle controlled afterburners on (FSX ONLY PLEASE! ) post a link and I will see what I can do with it! In order for the conversion to work you HAVE to have the alphasim SR-71 wiith the panel/VC update and F/A-37 Talon installed, as I use different fx from these packages for the conversion!
See "COBRA IN FSX" and "AFTERBURNER" threads in this forum for more details!
Conversions I've done so far:
Su-47
Su-27
F-4B, & E
A318
B-52G
AT-38

OK I do have it figured out! If I can do it to this, I can do it for any plane!

Introducing the Hypersonic Airbus...

hahaha. how many times did you have to attempt to take that shot before the aircraft overstressed.... lol, just a shame it would burn a hole in the baggage hold after a while.

comeing onto this topic.... on many screenshots of payware aircraft which are being promoted; there seems to be a heat haze in the pictures (E.G the wilco 737 series have many shots on their website of the aircraft having a heat haze behind the engines on the aircraft... This looks cool but when I actually got the 737 wilco package there seems to be no haze there. Do you reckon this is just tinkering of the pictures or is there an effect I havnt got or not ticked?

It could be an effect, I havn't seen that one but I have seen other fx that look good, NickN I think has one for FS9, don't know about FSX though. :-/

The afterburn on the airbus is just eye candy fx, it has no effect on performance, once the throttle is pushed to 80% or more it lights up!

Not payware, but the Project Airbus A319 does have that heat haze you are talking about. It may be for FS9... but I use it in FSX with no problems other than having to alias the panel and sound.

I found this effect and it really makes a difference  visually in FSX, kinda like that missing element! 8-)

I still haven't found time to try but in the Cobra-thread you mentioned, that I might need SP2 and/or Acc. Any new cognitions about that to get the ABs throttle-controlled (since I haven't neither SP2 nor Acc. ) ?

I installed FSX and Accel at the same time so I don't know if it works without. BUT, sp2 is a free download!  

I know but my FS is running well without the SPs (I don't have a dualcore on my notebook,...) and don't wanna mess it up!

Just my opinion here, I would try it anyway, the worst that could happen is that it won't work and you'll have to delete the added entries, just make sure to make backups first!

Well then, maybe I'll give it a try next holidays when I got more spare time... Nice and clean according to the praised sticky  ;)

IMHO SP2 is worth trying. I have better performance with it.
