Ryback Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) ⋆UPDATE 2⋆ 03/08/20 Lot of people were complaining about the weakness of strobe lights, including me! So here is the workaround for it! It's very powerful now and reflects from the ground and body! For those interested, I attached both the F-16C.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. I tested the Anti Collision Knob, it works in every stage (1,2,3,4,A,B,C) So no problems there! My aim was to add some immersion and real life look to the game. I hope you can enjoy it. (OBSOLETE FOR NEW VERSION) 1-Turn off Anti Collision knob. Assuming that you start at night, AC knob is on position 1. NEW UPDATED PROCEDURE AS OF MARCH 8 If you start the same mission with ''FLY AGAIN'' button, the sequence does not start everytime on one knob turn. After many tests, new procedure would be: Assuming that you start at night, AC knob is on position 1. 1 - Turn the MASTER light knob all the way to NORM. 2 - Turn off Anti Collision knob. 3 - Then turn on Anti-Collison lights to 1. If it does not start turn off and turn to 1 again until you see the lights working, you can now set the A/C light position to whatever you like. KNOWN ISSUES: Sometimes it does not initiate the sequence at the start of the mission.(Hot start) In that case turn off and on, the MASTER switch, until you see lights working (I did it twice). Sometimes it starts right away, sometimes does not. I tested a lot, tried every option to see if I can find a way around: No joy NOT KNOWN / NOT TESTED MULTIPLAYER IC I DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW MULTIPLAYER START PAGE LOOKS LIKE SO DON'T ASK!!!!!! I never fly MP, don't know , not interested! If you have any doubt that this file will break something or cause problems, do not even attempt to install.I give no guarantee whatsoever. I don't see it as a mod as how we consider the ''Modding'' word. That is why the title is ''Workaround''. ED created the natostrobelight option and somehow did not integrate it except few AI helicopters and A-10C, so only thing I've made was to adapt the option into F-16.That's it!

caponi Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 bad question: why can't ED deliver these things ? :music_whistling: is it too realistic ? too much ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddyspike69 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 bad question: why can't ED deliver these things ? :music_whistling: is it too realistic ? It’s not a bad question at all. Same with the MFD brightness issue. They just copied the solutions of one of the users on this forum, and voila, brighter MFD. Probably these bright strobe lights (as it should be, just with the a10c), will be added after two more months of complaining.

caponi Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 looks very nice ... :thumbup: ( i try it for F-16 and F-18 ) but the Workaround did not pass pure client integrity check :cry: at least, there are one or two lines of code ... why did not implemented ED this in this brightness ? what may be the reason ?

macedk Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Looks nice, but not a lua savvy so no go for me. For emersion, I took a real life strobe light and put it behind me.

Florence201 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Added this to my JSGME folder and it works great for my AI wingmen, but not for me. In fact i have no strobe at all. Any guidance?? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryback Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 Tried that buddy, but no joy. I'll see if replacing the original .lua works better rather than JSGME I'm looking into it. Something prevents it from starting. Viper's AC lights are not on and off like others it's very complicated, so bear with me here, if you like to use it. Thank you.

Harker Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Hi guys, Thanks for the feedback. This is something we intend to address soon. Thanks That's great news, Wags. It would be great if you could also address the same thing in the Hornet (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=4226238#post4226238). It's more difficult to deal with, because the two strobe lights on the vertical stabs share a single argument right now. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

BoneDust Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, Thanks for the feedback. This is something we intend to address soon. Thanks That's great! The F18 has been modded as well and it looks better but we can only get one side to work. Hopefully, the F18 beacon will get some love from ED. Thanks!
