Ryback Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Exactly, if we can just add an additional argument to this entry, we're done. A few flyables have good strobe lights, such as the A-10C and the JF-17. The Mirage looks good too, although it doesn't light up as much. We can't! Arguments must be defined in a 3D environment as a connection to animations/ .lua files. That would mean .EDM files must be tempered with..and that is illegal afaik. Again question comes to ED: Function is there guy, why not use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST0RM Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Nice mod. I can see the GIF and that effect is outstanding. Much better than the default. Plans on releasing it publicly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneDust Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Looks much better. Surprising the ED hasn't made this small change.

Harker Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Tested this last night. Looks great. It does. Shame we can't find a way to have it for both strobes.

Harker Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It works for both strobes for the AI! And it looks amazing. This is the first time I'm jealous of an AI unit in DCS.

Ryback Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Last of the last..It's the best I could do. Some workarounds, some tweaks.Looks like that. Preview Link: https://streamable.com/5kmdt If you like it, I attached both the modded FA-18C.lua (if you'll replace the .lua file take a backup or rename the original as.lua.bak) and a so called "mod" JSGME compatible.Also for those who know what they are doing: [1] = { typename = "collection", lights = { {typename = "natostrobelight", argument = 193, period = 1.3, phase_shift = 0, color = {0.8,0,0}, intensity_max = 68, position = {-5.32, 2.58, -1.81}}, }, }, Enjoy!F-18 Strobe Light Mod.zipFA-18C.lua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneDust Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Anyone from ED want to chime in on how to get both tail strobes working? It does look better and would be great if we could get both strobes working.

Harker Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Bump. Since the Viper is getting an improved anti-collision strobe, can we hope for something similar for the Hornet, please?
