Changing Plane Countries and Burners

Post by lqcorsa » Tue Aug 22, 2006 6:30 am

I made a mod in lock-on 1.12a for a F-18 with a tailhook and folding wings, but before I release it I'd like to ask a few questions from you guys. I understand a lot more of what you guys did in the F-16 mod now, after doing my own, for example noticed that the burners don't match up well :lol: . So I'd like to know if you guys can give me some strait answers to some questions:

How do I take off the long flaming burner and just keep the reddish color in the engines?

How do I change the country from Russia to United States? (I modded the F-18 over the su-33)

Answers are very appreciated.

You elliminate the burners by replacing the model with a smaller one that cannot be seen b/c it is inside the aircraft. I forget the exact model Silent Eagle used in our mod but the file is IN our mod so just pull it from there.

Also you know that a Su33 -> F-18 mod has already been done right? I think they were able to mod the MFD in the Su cockpit a well as the other features you mentioned. Research the lockon.ru forum for further info.

Meh, so I can't eliminate the burners, burner? Since the Su-33 is bigger than the hornet, its not going to happen... I dind't here anything about them making a hornet, is it just the pit? I'll go over there and check it out.

You can eliminate the burner effect but as for specifics I couldnt tell you....go to lockonfiles.com and search aircraft mods for FA-18. Burner and I used to fly and talk to US_Marine....the guy who first did what you are talking about a couple years ago and has since refined it...nothing new.
