(Payware) Just Flight English Electric Lightning F.6 on sale now

I seem to be having a problem with the afterburners. Previously both afterburner effects showed even if one engine was throttled back, now only one engine has afterburners. I think it was better before adding the service pack!

Hey Bone, the RAF guys I met at Barksdale were amazed by the cockpit in the B-52G. Amazed at the size of it!! That Vulcan is tiny inside.

I would think an interceptor would be less effective if it left an F-4C type smoke trail for all to see. The video measures up to my impressions after all these 30+ years. Guess I still have my mind! -Jim

I did get to go in for a look at the Vulcan interior, back then. It's kind of a strange place as compared to other planes. The actual flight deck is pretty small. It's the top deck and you have to climb up a ladder to get to it. The other three seats (At least I remember three seats) were on the lower deck, and the lower deck seemed a bit cavernous because of the vaulted ceiling that went up all the way to the top. You could see the back sides of the cockpit seats from the lower deck. You wouldn't want to trip while climbing out of the cockpit seats, the fall to the lower deck would be painfull. There wasn't any safety railing, as I recall.

This isn't a known issue. On our various test PCs the reheat/afterburner effects are correctly linked to each engine e.g. throttling up only engine 1 will result in the reheat effect for engine 1 appearing, throttling up only engine 2 will result in the reheat effect for engine 2 appearing, throttling up both engines will result in the reheat effects for both engines appearing.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Sorry Martyn, my fault, I needed to re-calibrate my throttles, one was not opening fully, hence no reheat! Problem sorted now.

Ian.

 

[Martyn]

Phew! Thanks for letting me know Ian.

I am thinking about buying this aircraft. Is the SP1 incorporated into the main package now ?

Yes it is, and the demo is also up to SP1 standard now.

Just bought the aircraft, great work
One little snag, at least on my system; my throttle no 1 controls the upper engine nozzle animation but applies the reheat to the lower, likewise my no 2 throttle controls lower engine nozzle animation and applies reheat to the upper engine. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Edit: Did this:
light.0= 9, -29.8, 0.0, 2.5, fx_JF_Lightning_Burner, // Eng2 reheat
light.1= 8, -29.8, 0.0, -0.5, fx_JF_Lightning_Burner, // Eng1 reheat
(switched positions of the AB effect)

Thanks for the update, however I still seem to be getting an odd airbrake actuator animation on the left side when looking forwards from the rear of the aircraft. The actuator moves up and down when opening/closing.

Love the Lightning but have a bit of a glitch. A roundel and upper wing walkway lines appear on the inside of the left hand undercarriage door. Noticed it also on the Lightning that features in the Virtual EE Lightning solo display on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G01No5oMIaU so I know that's it's not just my Lightning that's affected. JustFlight tech support were very quick in replying to my question on how I get rid of the fault but could offer no solution. Can anyone help?


Also would like to know how I can add vortices to the wing tips as per the Alphasim Hunter. Have seen the effect on real Lightnings & would like it on my virtual one.

There's a wealth of knowledge on this forum so I'm hoping that someone can help.

Many thanks,

Mike

Just got the Lightning F.6 from JustFlight
Had to re install everything from scratch to get it to work, but work it does
Still working through the manual to see how everything works 50k feet and 2M is no problem

I bought this awesome beast a couple of weeks ago but I'm not struck on the camouflage colours they've used so I've done one of my own. This is a WIP of XR771 in No. 11 Squadron colours, now residing at the Midlands Air Museum in Coventry. It's taken a while and still bits I want to do. BTW the inner main u/c door can't be fixed Mike, the texture is mapped to part of the upper wing.

I thought I'd install Rob Barendregt's Me262 cannon effect as well, just for fun! Rate of fire's a bit slow on screen shooting though!

Dave, I like the WIP already, hope you will upload it some day soon It is amazing what your repaints can do for a plane, your F-100, F-101 and F-105 liveries are some of my favorites!

cheers, Henk.

Does anyone know how to apply A2A 3D lights to the JF Lightning. The lights section in the VC cfg looks very strange.

I only added Shockwave landing lights (Nav/Strobe lights FX file names are hardcoded in the MDL file) :

aircraft.cfg:
[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing, 6=taxi, 7=recognition, 8=wing, 9=Logo
light.0= 9, -29.8, 0.0, -0.5, fx_JF_Lightning_Burner, // Eng1 reheat
light.1= 8, -29.8, 0.0, 2.5, fx_JF_Lightning_Burner, // Eng2 reheat
light.2 = 5, -6.2,-6.45, -1.80, fx_shockwave_landing_light_small_old
light.3 = 5, -6.2, 6.45, -1.80, fx_shockwave_landing_light_small_old


panel.cfg:

[Vcockpit01]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=1024,1024
visible=1
pixel_size=1024,1024
texture=$VC_ND1
gauge00=XML!ILS, 65,50,901,901
gauge01=jwb_xml_server!wep, 0,0,1,1
gauge02=Shockwave_Lights!SW Lights_gear, 0,0,20,20

There's a service pack available up on the Just Flight website, together with a replacement FDE - NOT for those with a nervous disposition.

The only problems I have with this are:

• The strip ASI doesn't work right. No display of the aircraft speed in knots, nor a knots/mach comparison.
• There's no offset TACAN in the TAC display.
• Heading Hold in the VC seems permanently set to North. You have to go into the 2D panel if you want a different heading.

I've asked Just Flight's technical support 'boffins' to take a look at these.
