FH2 Banshee ab effect

[gray eagle]

Was their a visible burner effect for the FSX version of the Banshee?

From the rear spot view, I only see the engine burners when the engines spool up then it's lights out.....

From the video I've seen, it doesn't look like any flame was visible externally.

No burners on the Banshee. First USN jet to have them was I believe the F9F-6.

My FSX modifications and Effects emailed to you, Butch!

Not an AB effect...no flame out the ass-end, just glowing cans at near full power!

I guess I should of asked about a burner can glow not so much a torch or flame jutting out the rear of the engine like the F-16.

Thanks Charlie looking forward to the effects.

J34 Engine runup

Found interesting Video of a J34 engine run and close up of the burners. So it looks like the model depicts pretty close to what the real J34 looks like spooling up
and running max smoke.

I like that!

Don't know if the real deal ever looked like that but it is cool looking.


It was working for me in P3D V3.4 but after I closed P3d and then came back to resume flight - no burner can glow...
The strange thing about it is that it did work that one time. Weird.

Vought F6U pirate. First naval aircraft with AB, and composite construction- a bonded aluminium-balsa core skinning called 'metalite'.
I suppose it's a matter of personal preference, re: fire shooting out the back. Having spent some thousands of hours making old clangers (Magisters, Buckeyes, T-birds, Vampires ect) go, I can say that about the only time one can see fire up the pipe is on start-up.
I can still recall an airshow at Namao, when I was a kid. A reserve Vampire squadron - I am that frikkin old! - would spot the aircraft on the spectator line - anywhere you cared to stand, in those days - with an erk waving a steak on a stick behind the tailpipe as the Goblin was lit off, flash-broiling the steak, though the kerosene marinade was probably somewhat unpalatable. The other variation was wad of burning newspaper, making as to 'light the fire'. Ah, jet noise!

Flew the T-2A (single engine "Buckeye") in basic jet training at NAS Meridian. The A model used the J-34 like the Banshee. Smoked like hell, and yes the tailpipe tunnel and turbine / burner glow was very visible from behind. It was buried up the tailpipe, not visible from the side like an afterburner.

Not so much fire or flames shooting out the back but rather the glow of light of flames from the burner ring is what I was interested in and as per J34 video I posted.

Try this, its an effect controlled by smoke visibility, will not show from side view.

[SMOKESYSTEM]
Smoke.0 = -10.0, 3.2, -0.4,fx_Sea_Venom_Smoke.fx
Smoke.1 = -10.0, -3.2, -0.4,fx_Sea_Venom_Smoke.fx
Smoke.2 = -5.45, 3.06, -0.21,fx_AfterBurnerFire1.fx
Smoke.3 = -5.45, -3.06, -0.21,fx_AfterBurnerFire1.fx

Where is the fx_AfterBurnerFire1.fx file?

Thanks Rob

I should mention at this point that the Banshee smoke effect and thereby the Afterburner are controlled
by an xml gauge written by Dave Garwood for his beautiful Hunter.
He kindly gave me permission to use it.

Sorry, Rob! I hope I haven't created a mess by my monkeying around and adding the burner ring effect to the Banshee. Great plane to fly, as always!

I know the Banshee had no afterburners (reheats) in real life, but I have always liked the burner ring effect.

Was that xml gauge baked into your model?

Thanks again
