I've attached the screenshots from a test with the swapped out TTB files,

I've attached the screenshots from the test, hope it helps.

These are the results from the test...

Taxi & Take off was at Half flaps as per pic 1.

There are supposed to be 48 F-35As based over two squadrons.

It is titled 'AI EADS CASA C-295M - Various AF (MKAI) 1.2'

You need to click on the header to see the tailband images as they are out of shot, so to speak.

The image above is on JetPhotos from Nov 2020 and has the comment - New tail flash for 960th ACCS "Vikings"
I couldnt find any pictures of the tailband though ...
