There were a few repaints on avsim, I believe.

I don't believe that there is anything you can do, as you don't have the model source files - or do you?

No source code, but mine has a shiny new ass :d

plus a few other bits.

preliminary trial in FS9.

Its great that the AS F-8 works in FSX, Can someone tell me how i can change the afterburner on it and if we can get some catapult number that would be awesome too.

[dhazelgrove]

The AB effect is governed by the line in the [LIGHTS] section of the aircraft.cfg.
For the F-8, it's:

light.2 = 9, -22.00, 0.00, 0.00, fx_reheat_Alpha Viggen,

Simply change the effect for one of your choice.

For cat/trap, I use Rob Barendregt's RCBCO-30 every time.

I cannot get the AS F-8 Crusader to show in FSX, it won't load or be recognized, any ideas? Definitely no joy!

It works just fine - you're probably missing something small.

Check your aircraft.cfg. If there is a mixup/missing coordination between the panel=, sound=, model=, etc. to the appropriate panel, sound, etc., then any plane won't show up in FSX. A distinctive of FSX is that if you are missing a sound folder for the aircraft, it won't show up, whereas in FS9, it would, just without sound. I have spent literally scores of hours (likely over the 100 hrs mark) in the AS F-8 in FSX alone, and even more on the Rollus model.

Both work fine in FSX, though the AS modelneeds a few tweaks.

Surprise to me, I removed it and reloaded and it works fine....man, these things can be a pain
