Is it possible to add high-g vapor effects to the F-18?
Hodge001:
Hi GR27
I don’t think you have done anything wrong.
After checking the effect again, it looks as though you have hit on a major problem with this effect that I hadn’t noticed during my tests.
The problem appears to be that the vortex effect is indeed conflicting with the afterburner effect, and although I’m still trying out other configurations, it seems that for the time being this mod could be a no go, unless I can actually change the gauge to take it’s trigger from some other source instead of the wing lights.
So sorry folks, I’ll keep trying but for the time being I would suggest that you remove the effect for now.

Thats exactly what happened with me, its like they put the engine in backwards and forwards :O

What happend to me you have to turn on all lights (the L key) and the vapor stays on.I know on the super hornet that you got this from does it when you make ur 3-5 g turns.
Im working on it on my end also and if I get it i'll put it up in here

Hi Jim, i've managed to add vapor effect to the F-18 with Alphasim Hawker Hunter, i add ALPHA_Hunter.cab file to the F-18 Panel and i add to the Panel.cfg this line:
gauge xx=ALPHA_Hunter!Hunter_Vapour_WING, (change xx to the next number on the list)
In [Vcockpit01]
And to the Aircraft.cfg i add this line this:
light.xx= 8, -13.5, 0, 1.25, fx_ALPHA_Hunter_vapour, //Wingroot (change xx to the next number on the list)
In [liGHTS]
As you can see i use the same numbers you use but it does not "seat" correctly on the F-18 as you can see in the picture
The effect is too much far from the plane to the side of it, i don't know what numbers should i put, beside this it works correctly.
I know it is not as good looking as the Team FS KBT FA18 effect but there effect works only when reaching 10 G' and more, so for i will now settle with the "lighter" vapor effect from Alphasim, i hope you can help me with the numbers so the vapor effect will get closer to plane as they should.
Thank you.

I think it's very cool that at least a couple of independent outfits have created vortex effects for the leading edge extensions [as in image 1], but I haven't found anyone who has created the low-pressure condensation effects over the wings on high-g turns [as in image 2]. I think I'm going to have a go at creating that from scratch, and if I can make something presentable I'll share it on the board.
