Heat Shimmer Effect
JamesChams:
Mr. Caleb Lee,
Yes, "we" would have to create one; it isn't too hard... Let me look into it and get back to you.
(PS: "Vapor/shimmer effect" should actually appear when throttle is idle to 10% and shut off in excess of that or perhaps to 70-80% MIL Thrust).
Also, here is the configuration for CaptainSim's F/A-18D, should anyone want it, which Mr. "Voodoo" did not include in his readme.txt :
// Modified by James F. Chams @2010.
// =================================
[SMOKESYSTEM]
// smoke.0=-50.00, 0.0, 0.0, cs18_smoke
smoke.0 = -57.00, 0.00, 0.00, voo_heat_shimmer_a6 // Heat Shimmer Effect
smoke.1 = -57.00, 0.00, 0.00, voo_heat_shimmer_a6 // Heat Shimmer Effect
Thanks a bunch for the Effect, Mr. "Voodoo" and Enjoy! :)
JamesChams:
Mr. Caleb Lee,
OK; I found a way to do it...
... Now all I need to do is...
======================
Mr. "Voodoo,"
May I have your permission to add/modify this effect to add it to a gauge for both CS' and FSDT's/MS' F/A-18's?
Pretty Please! ;D
Voodoo:
Absolutely, James!
I had just been about to post the following comments when you pipped me at the post, but, yes, please feel free to go ahead with your kind offer!
--- Quote ---Hi Caleb,
I suppose technically speaking a heat shimmer effect should come on and stay on for all the time the engines are running. Having it manually operated on the "i" key allows it to be "put out of the way" under certain conditions (e.g. it you are desperate for a couple more FPS in a particular zone, or if you don't want it clouding your view in a "chase" view or such like).
However, if you could confirm what specific conditions you want it to be in the "on" state, Caleb, I'll put some XML code up here for you to use in a gauge.
@James
Thanks muchly :) for working out the coordinates for the effect on the Captainsim F/A-18. If you will, I'll be more than happy to join these to the list I've posted on my wiki? Likewise for any other tried and tested aircraft you are willing to offer!! (request open to everyone)

Thank you very much, Sir! :) ... and feel free to add those CS F/A-18D setting to your README (website downloads).
Also, already started writing the code for the gauge but, you are welcome to beat me to it. ;)
Caleb:
Thanks 100000% for all the help!! I didnt quite know the throttle precentages, and or how to make the guage.
Thanks a million,
Caleb Lee
