Not yet, perhaps few days.

Matjis just posted on the patches subforum that they were releasing it on monday, but you can message him for an early copy if you're chomping at the bit to paint some cats.
 
Hello Dimus, i have p3d too and i saw this effect here. The same.
I´m not an .fx expert, but did you try to exchange the effect in the Kitty Hawk sim.cfg?
The parameter is "wake =". Tried to exchange to a .fx p3d default effect to see what happens?

Flaviossa, I tried your suggestion but can not find which effect is compatible with the 3d waves. All "wakes" in my effects folder seem to be similar in behavior. I even tried to edit the fx file to change the offset of the particles to a higher level but I don not yet know much about effects and their attributes. I'll keep trying though. Any suggestions would be welcome, although I think may need to move this to the P3D forum now.

I do enjoy the plane though. Quite tricky to master:

The easiest thing to do is probably to raise the position of the wake in the sim.cfg file rather than editing the effect. As far as I'm aware there're no wakes that are really compatible with the 3D waves as the effects files aren't really designed to work over a non-planner surface, I.e. they're still based on the FSX engine while the water has advanced beyond that.
 
Well it is a dirty job ...but someone has to do it :adoration:

Yep, just watched it again about 3 weeks ago. Obviously we are all living in the glorious past in our simming world! But it's the best place to be imo. I wasn't planning on getting this as I alread fly Dino's one, but after looking at all the great screen captures I can feel myself being drawn into serious temptation . . ..
 
This thing desperately needs a Top Hatters paint other than the CAG, Bicentennial scheme, hint hint :costumed-smiley-071
 
Wow...

I'm quite impressed. Another few hours in it tonight doing manual starts and touch and goes. However, I had my first compressor stall while pulling back to mil power a bit too fast. I'd love to say it ended well, but it didn't. A loss of control ensued, and in trying to flight the developing spin I achieved a TacPack enforced G-LOC. Watching the seconds tick by, vision clears, and good news, the spin is gone... however, about 2 seconds later the ground really decided it wanted to be my friend.

That was hard to take. I really don't make a habit of crashing planes in my sim.
 
if you're interested in adding the shockwave taxi light,

f14-sw.jpg

add to aircraft.cfg [lights] section
light.8 = 6, 23.00, -0.10, -2.20, fx_Shockwave_landing_light_narrow_down
or whatever light.xxx number available

add to panel.cfg [VCockpit01]
gauge20=shockwave_lights!SW lights_gear_taxi, 1, 1, 1, 1
or whatever gaugexxx number available, to automatically extinguish the light when gear goes up.

also, contact points are too high, reduce to the numbers in the vertical position as shown here and it looks much better.
point.0 = 1, 21.033, 0.000, -6.843,
point.1 = 1, -1.298, -9.110, -7.700,
point.2 = 1, -1.298, 9.110, -7.700,

backup your originals.
