indiadamjones Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) [EDIT] Point helpers on the model with name AFTERBURN_001, AFTERBURN_002, etc, etc. work to override the lua position settings. However, thus far, player aircraft appear limited to only two contrails! This sucks, but for now the best we can do I guess. So, you can have the inner engines as 001, and 002. The outer engines will be 003 and 004. Now the AI aircraft looks good. Player aircraft missing two contrails, but at least is symmetrical. Please if you know a way to get around this, I'm working on a 4 engine mod. Thanks! [ORIGINAL]What's the chances of getting all 4 exhaust plumes working on a 4 engine mod? I can only get two no matter which way I code the engine_nozzles attribute. I've tried everything I can possibly guess. This mod I'm working on looks a bit ridiculous with just two. Thanks.

indiadamjones Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 bump w/ code bumping with this, with some code I found in units_planes.lua res.exhaust_data = exhaust_data[res.WorldID] or res.exhaust_data if res.exhaust_data and not res.engines_nozzles then res.engines_nozzles = {} for i,o in ipairs(res.exhaust_data.nozzle) do res.engines_nozzles[i] = { pos = o.pos, orientation = o.orientation, diameter = 3.0, exhaust_length_ab = 3.0, exhaust_length_ab_K = exhaust_data.nozzle_coefficient, engine_number = i } end res.exhaust_data = nil end | A-10C | Ka-50 | F-86 | Mig-15 | P-51D | [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiadamjones Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 This reply from 2013 Found this scouring the forums. Looks like a clue, but it's pretty old. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1852803&postcount=27 | A-10C | Ka-50 | F-86 | Mig-15 | P-51D | [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiadamjones Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Where I got to, DCS doesn't support 4 on player aircraft I concluded that DCS cannot support 4 exhaust plumes on player aircraft. It works on AI though. In the end, I setup the helper points so that the player aircraft plumes are symmetrical, but I would love confirmation of my conclusion! I don't expect this to be a priority code revision, but if anyone knows anything...gratitude! | A-10C | Ka-50 | F-86 | Mig-15 | P-51D | [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
