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.

Two further schemes completed today - VFP-306 and VMCJ-3. Might be able to do one more next week, probably the low-vis late model, before releasing the package.

Just updating this thread to announce that the RF-8G has been uploaded and should be available within a day or so of this post. I ran out of time for extra paints ( three are included ) but everything else is in place. I do hope one day to have the time to continue with the true HD version, but hope this keeps 'Sader fans happy in the meantime until the RFN Crusader makes an appearance![]()
Same problem here, actually, but I couldn't spend any more time troubleshooting it. I think that the effect might be FSX only and just doesn't show in P3D, but I'm not sure.Thank you very much for this Dean. I have downloaded and installed it. On first trying it out the afterburner doesn't appear for me, do I need to add something from earlier F-8 enhancements?
You're very welcome, great screenies!Dean, thank you SO much for all the work you have put into this. You are a busy man, and I am glad to be back in the air in a Crusader! A few screenshots from some evening pattern work at Eglin AFB. NC
Good job, Dean! Great test flight!![]()
Thank you very much for the photo bird! Looks like no AB effect so I was trying to add an afterburner effect like this one:
I remember when Ted (Tufun) made a nice AB effect for the F8 awhile back but cannot find it. If he reads this, would appreciate a copy of that AB effect.
or what was done to make it so.
I compared the AS F8 effects to this Photo and they read the same, so I don't know how to make the AB effect for this photo bird, it would be awesome
to have this flame effect.

You're very welcome, great screenies!![]()
Ooh, that WOULD look nice! NC
Yep, just borrowed what I had for the original Alpha/F-8. Added it to the smoke key.

Yup, the effect folder was missing. I did a side by side comparison of both aircraft.cfgs and panels. They were idential. Then I notice that the V2 of the F8 had something
that the Photo did not have....an effects folder so I moved the models and textures over to the V2 F-8 and now it goes Boom on AB and the flame comes out.
I suppose there was an easier way to do this but my way came to mind.
In P3D V3.4 the I key makes vapor trail AND the sonic boom at same time. Such a deal......
I was wondering the same thing... In the Alpha F-8 "gunfighter" version the A/B glow and flame are linked to the throttle and the wingtip vapor trails work with aircraft maneuvering but with this RF-8G it's manual by hitting the "I" smoke key. The panel.cfg files are identical, as are the .cfg files except for the plane selections. Maybe I'm missing something... DC1973, any suggestions?Looks great! Any chance there's a way to tie the AB to throttle movement? NC
