AerielFoundry F-18 question

Post by Joseph29 »

I started flying this plane again after a long time of not flying it and I have a question. Is there a way to stop the wingtip vortex effect? The effect comes on when you turn the lights on (I'm not sure if it's a specific light or all of them). I like the effect, but don't want to see it every time I turn the lights on.

So you tried to comment "//" the effects and lights lines in the aircraft.cfg? Got tons of time in the AF Bug in my pre-VRS FS9 days.

If you want a F-18, you can always jump over to the freeware FS-KBT Super Bug.

So here is parts of the aircraft cfg file. Which section controls the vortex effect?

[smokesystem]
smoke.0 = 0, -13, 19.5, fx_contrail_s
smoke.1 = 0, -13, -19.5, fx_contrail_s

[effects]
wake = fx_wake
water = fx_spray
dirt = fx_tchdrt
concrete = fx_sparks
touchdown = fx_tchdwn_s, 1
contrail = fx_contrail_l
windshield_rain_effect_available = 1

[lights]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
light.0 = 3, -22.12, 5.94, 7.77, af_navwhite
light.1 = 1, -18.71, 6, 6.57, fx_beaconb
light.2 = 1, -18.71, -6, 6.57, fx_beaconb
light.3 = 4, 12.81, -0.46, 0.95, af_vclight_red // warm red cockpit lighting
//light.3 = 4, 12.81, -0.46, 0.95, af_vclight_grn // cool green cockpit lighting
light.4 = 4, 7.1, 0, 1.45, af_vclight_red // warm red cockpit lighting
//light.4 = 4, 7.1, 0, 1.45, af_vclight_grn // cool green cockpit lighting
light.5 = 9, -13, -19.5, 0, fx_contrail_s
light.6 = 9, -13, 19.5, 0, fx_contrail_s
light.7 = 7, -28, 1.7, -0.7, af_burner
light.8 = 2, -28, -1.7, -0.7, af_burner

I have all the bugs. VRS, both FS-KBT models, and AerielFoundry. But lately I have been wanting to fly the F-18 classic models. :)
