Mirage IIIB about to land....on your PC

Repeating a post I made in the official release thread of the Mirage IIIB:

Mirage IIIBJ of 119 Sqn in 1968

:salute:

Great!!!!
:icon_eek:
 
But no AB!!! :isadizzy: :icon30:

If you are talking about the effect of the AB then make sure the fuel pumps switches are on. (Item 3 on page 11). Look in the exhaust pipe at idle and then in AB. There is a lot of flame in there. Then look at the airspeed and fuel quantity gauges. The AB is working."

If you are talking about a visual effect then there is an issue. I asked Restauravia about this.

The response from one of the pilots...

"When it is the day, so we doesn't see the afterburner flame.
But when it is night, the flame is out of the rear and we can see the flame.
I do not know if André will made a correction, but the team is looking for a solution for the flamme by night."

The response from the modeler...

"We discussed this issue with MirageIII pilots: "On the MirageIII the flames of PC are not visible outside by day. By night against the PC spits out a 6 or 7 meters long blue light cone streaked with beautifull orange rings ionization ". Our model is correct by day, a little less at night !"
So there you have it. In the meantime perhaps try adopting the AB from the Skysim Mirage IIIE for night time.

Hi Frank,

Yes it works in full AB function
But sadly missing in the flame plume! :icon30: <---------- ?

Hows this for a AB flame plume added in?

It's easy to add and doesn't seem to interfere with the lights so far in quick testing. Will test further to make sure. If anyone's interested, I'll show how to add this. It is possible to layer two flame plumes to widen the effect out a bit retaining the overall effect visual seen here.

Yes!

I love it!
I am very interested!

It would be nice also 3D shockwave lighting effects too!

Thank you!!!

Many thanks to the RESTAURAVIA team for this fantastic jet :salute::salute::salute:

Shockwave landing light Aircraft.cfg entry:

light.2 = 5, 18.20, 0.00, -2.25, fx_shockwave_landing_light_small_old
 
Love the jet and the repaints look fantastic:guinness:. Any repainter willing to do a IIIBL (Lebanese AF):engel016:? I love planes from more "obscure" countries.

The tail flashing light, you know something?

Sure, actually the tail (and wing position) lights are embedded in the MDL file and use these FX files:

Steady tail light = fx_MIIIB_FixeOrange.fx
Flashing orange tail light = fx_MIIIB_CliOrange.fx
Flashing white tail light = fx_MIIIB_CliBlanc.fx

So, if you want to use alternative light FX, I guess you can make a copy of another light FX, then rename it to the FX name used in the MDL file, for example:

rename a copy of fx_shockwave_strobe_sm.fx -> fx_MIIIB_CliBlanc.fx
replace the RESTAURAVIA fx_MIIIB_CliBlanc.fx with your new version.

Alternatively, you can open the MDL file with a hex editor and rename the FX names there.
 
Yes!

Zsolt, when I get done testing, I will send you a test copy by email and if it checks out on your system (if it works correctly), I will post it here.

Hello,

Ok thanks!
Meanwhile, I will examine the possibilities.....:icon30:
