OK, so you want your afterburners to turn on, at a certain throttle position, and not have it controlled by the lights. But, you still want your lights on, without activating your afterburners. No problem.

Through XML, it can be done, if you know what your doing. Doesn't matter whether it is one, two, or four, that your trying to get.

If you want the key and coding, let me know. Or better yet, send me what you have, and I can make it work.

Not picking on Hark and his Maelstrom, but I have it set up MY way, and it works. And it is just as easy as can be.

Sorry for the crash...... It's been a while since I've flown it.

Sweeeeet! I need to know the specifics...I think I have it generally figured out but haven't actually done it before. I need that .XML code...I've got one but I think it's bloated up with stuff I don't need.

Your 'Batburners' look bodacious firing out the rear of my runabout, it'll be sweet to get them coming on with throttle. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Actually, it would be cool if you would work on the .XML gauge A/B's on this bird while I figure out the contact points and paint jobs, and take care of last minute texturing tweaks. I'll send off my W.I.P. file of this runabout and would be grateful if you'd 'magic' up some 'reheat via throttle' for me.
(Wait'll you see your Batburners on this thing. 4 of 'em. :twisted: )

If you do this for me, could you still explain what you did, step by step...and I'll try it for myself on the flying Batmobile whenever I get off my butt and finish the aircars. Thank you so very much. :D

Not a problem bud. Just send me the WIP when your ready, and I'll fix it up, and include a readme with all the info you need.

Glad you like it.

RD, I have a Concord download, which has that very same problem, any chance you can assist

Sure Mel, just send me your panel.cfg, and I'll do the rest.

RD, in your vid, i could be wrong but was there a "heat shimmer" that you made for your malestrom? or was that some kind of 'smoke effect' that you made up??? either way.. it looked great... any possibility that i might be able to get something like that for the F14? (Hinson Tomcat would be fine. - if you need the files, just let me know, and ill get em back to you in entirety) thanks.

I'll be sure to package up the runabout today, three-quarters done mess that it is... :lol:

One thing....people will likely max the throttle in order to Vertically take-off, I hope we can figure out how to add to that .XML code, or have a second one, that will keep the reheat from coming on until the flaps are retracted. I know it can be done, just need the code and syntax.

This one's going to be tricky overall. Woohoo. :twisted: :D

:D I was thinking about it, and if it gets too goofy we can set the kick-in for 98% of throttle and tell people in the 'Readme' not to max the throttle without retracting flaps all the way. Everybody reads the 'Readme'...right? :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll:

ummm..... I always read the readme, as soon as I have a problem. :twisted: 8)

The porch light's on, but nobody's home.

Alright smartypants, now that you've looked in the window and seen me sitting there in a stupor, I'll get off my butt and help you help me....file coming today.
