F-16 Strobe Lights Workaround

[ST0RM]

The patch yesterday seems to have broken this mod, so I copied everything over to the most current F-16 LUA and its working again. Here is the file.

I use this all of the time for the Viper and Hornet. I've combined it with other mods like the smoke mod or Blue Angels equipment etc. It's a modification to a couple of lines in the lua file to make it work.

 

I'd suggest using Notepad++ it's a free editor. Make a backup of your F-16C.lua located in \CoreMods\aircraft\F-16C and your FA-18C.lua located in \CoreMods\aircraft\FA-18C as needed.

 

Search the file you intend to mod for these lines:

 

F16 - lights data STROBES section

 

{ typename = "argnatostrobelight", argument = 193,

controller = "VariablePatternStrobe", mode = "1 Flash", period = 0.500, },

 

Replace with these:

 

{ typename = "natostrobelight", argument = 193,

controller = "VariablePatternStrobe", mode = "1 Flash", period = 0.500, color = {0.9, 1, 0.7}, position = {-6.5, 2.87, 0.0}, intensity_max = 75},

 

Next the -- STROBE / ANTI-COLLISION section:

 

Find the line:

 

{ typename = "argnatostrobelight", argument = 192, period = 0.4, flash_time = 0.1, },

 

Replace with:

 

{ typename = "natostrobelight", argument = 192, period = 0.4, flash_time = 0.1, color = {0.9, 1, 0.7}, position = {-6.5, 2.87, 0.0}, intensity_max = 75},

 

F16 Done.

 

For F18 -

 

Fine the line:

 

{ typename = "argnatostrobelight", argument = 193, period = 1.2}, -- beacon lights

 

Replace with:

 

{ typename = "natostrobelight", argument = 193, period = 1.2, color = {0.8,0,0}, intensity_max = 73, position = {-5.32, 2.58, -1.81}}, -- beacon lights

 

 

F18 Done. That's it, now you'll have the strobes on each aircraft. White for the Viper and Red for the Hornet.

You're welcome. Let me know if you've got any issues. I could always share the lua files.

Here's the stock files with only the lines needed for the lights changed. The changes are tagged with --NIGHTSTORM so you can find them easily if needed. To be clear, this wasn't MY mod, I'm just using what I learned from it to modify the stock files every time there's an update ;)
