Mike, I edited the lifetimes in your effect from 40, 40 and 50, 50 to 60, 60 and 70, 70. Now the HTAI F-16 is perfect, effect coming on at the right time, and burning properly in the climb for a while.
May I upload this effect with my planned HTAI RNoAF F-16 repaints/flightplans package? I will give it a name like "fx_f16_ab_P3D4", and give you the credits.
I'm still very puzzled as to why you had to make these lifetime settings changes since the original lifetime settings have worked fine on the HTAI F-16's as well as all the other AI conversions that I have tested it on in P3D v4.1 and these are the same lifetime settings that were used in Steve's original fx_nbai_F15_ab.fx effect file that many of us used in both FS9 and FSX for the HTAI F-16 without any issues and from which I based the fx_JYAI_F35_ab_P3Dv4.fx effect file.
Since, if I understand correctly, the fx_JYAI_F35_ab_P3Dv4.fx works fine with John's JYAI F-35C's at your airbase, but the does not with your HTAI F-16's, I'm suspicious that the AI FDE that you are using with the HTAI F-16's might be playing a role in this difference. What are you using for an HTAI F-16 FDE?
In any event, I am not comfortable with a public release of a modified version of the fx_JYAI_F35_ab_P3Dv4.fx effect file containing these changes until such time as we determine exactly why you are experiencing such a premature shutdown of the afterburner that you have had to resort to such significantly longer lifetime settings.
Also we at MAIW are currently working on a release of a comprehensive HTAI F-16 conversion package initially using this afterburner effect file renamed as fx_HTAI_F16_ab_P3Dv4.fx until such time as an inbuilt afterburner model version becomes available and I do not want to have significantly different versions of this afterburner effect file for the HTAI F-16's being circulated and causing confusion.
If you could provide me a copy of the HTAI F-16 FDE including both the aircraft.cfg and .air files that you are using, I will see if I can duplicate your experience and/or determine why you might be experiencing it.
BTW...Any changes that you made for your own personal use are fine, it is only the public release of them at this time that I have a concern with.
