It was meant as a compliment referring to the Tomcat skins and how quickly you were getting them out, sorry it offended you. I never said superficial either.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

We are all grateful to have such talented artists working on these Tomcat repaints and kindly sharing them with the FS community. 
Such fine work is also very worth waiting for.
Some great possiblities here -particularly if as indicated there also be a F-14B variant.

My best friend has uploaded his Tomcat afterburner upgrade over at flightsim.com. He also did an afterburner for the new Mig-21 which I am going to post over on that thread as well.

Attention:
Just got a phone call from my friend who put the afterburner pack together and he informed me that a couple of people reported that after installing the effects pack they are experiencing a problem with the formation lights not being able to be switched off. Not everyone who has installed the pack is having this issue which is puzzling. It is being looked into and a patch using the gauge setup that Stovall originally prescribed here for the burner effects is now being tested to see if that helps with those who are reporting this type of problem. If anyone is having this issue, please let me know.

One other question, those having the issue are on v0.95(current version) of the Tomcat?

Okay, this is what I want those having trouble with the formation lights staying on to try. This is based on Stovalls mod.
Download and ab_f16_.zip from flightsim.com, Extract the gauge KO_F16_FX and move it to your FSX gauges folder(if you don't have it there already). The effects files remain the same
Then, add these lines to each of your panel config entries after the [Vcockpit06] entry
[Vcockpit07]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=32,32
visible=0
pixel_size=32,32
texture=$exhaust
gauge00=KO_F16_FX!F16_AB_THROGGLE, 0,0,1,1
Then copy and paste these lines into the Tomcat's config lights section
[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
//Lights encoded into MDL file
light.1 = 10, -13.50, 0.00, 4.00, fx_F14_vclight,
light.2 = 10, -19.00, 0.00, 4.00, fx_F14_vclight,
light.3= 9, -56.5, -4.85, -1.25,fx_F14_Burnerflame , // Eng2 Afterburner Flame
light.4= 9, -56.5, 4.56, -1.25,fx_F14_Burnerflame , // Eng2 Afterburner Flame
light.5= 9, -55.5, -4.90, -0.57, fx_21um_ab.burner1.fx
light.6= 9, -55.5, 4.60, -0.57, fx_21um_ab.burner1.fx
See if this clears up the problem with the formation lights. Let me know what happens as soon as you're finished testing.

Wingmate, go in to the sim again and try advancing the throttles slowly into burner/max power and see if both burner effects come on.
