I've been playing with Jens B. Kristensen's Short Empire today and thought I would offer up my changes in case anyone else wants to try them out.
I noticed that Jens had omitted wake effects for the floats and as I like to see the wake when the float is in the water I added a couple of extra contact points to provide the wake effect. To use my values copy the following two lines and add them to the bottom of the [contact_points] section in the aircraft.cfg file for each of the variants (S23, S30 LR and S30 MR):
point.9 = 4, -1.5, 31.30, -11.50, 3500, 0, 0, 0, 0.55, 5.2, 0.4, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0
point.10 = 4, -1.5, -31.30, -11.50, 3500, 0, 0, 0, 0.55, 5.2, 0.4, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0
I also added A2A Redux 3D lights and if you have that payware add-on then replace the entire [lights] section in the aircraft.cfg file for each of the variants (S23, S30 LR and S30 MR) with the following:
[lights]
light.0 = 3, 1.5, -53.74, 0.64, fx_shockwave_navred
light.1 = 3, 1.5, 53.74, 0.64, fx_shockwave_navgre
light.2 = 3, 14.2, 0, 3.83, fx_navwhi,
light.3 = 3, -57.0, 0, -0.272, fx_navwhi,
light.4 = 4, 22.5, 0, -4, fx_vclighth,
light.5 = 4, -12, 0, -5, fx_vclighth,
light.6 = 4, -20, 0, -3, fx_vclighth,
light.7 = 4, 0, 0, -8, fx_vclighth,
light.8 = 5, 3.75, 35.25, -0.90, fx_shockwave_landing_light_low_old
light.9 = 5, 3.75, -35.25, -0.90, fx_shockwave_landing_light_low_old
light.10 = 6, 30.0, -1.25, -9.0, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow_down_old
Enjoy! :ernae:
