DO YOU NEED THROTTLE CONTROLLED AFTERBURNERS?

[ShaneG_old]

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

all found here at SIMV! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

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

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?

[ShaneG_old]

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. ) ?

[ShaneG_old]

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

[Meck]

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!

[ShaneG_old]

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!

[Meck]

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  ;)

[JeeS]

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