F-4S formation lights not showing

Post by Jensole » Sun May 03, 2020 10:36 am

Hello,

I just got the marvellous F-4S and are starting to get a basic understanding of this complex bird. One issue I'm having is that the formation light is not showing regardless of what I do in the loadout manager. See attached screenshots. I'm running P3D 3.4. Help is much appreciated!

I think that's only for the E model (we use common ACM code). The J/S model didn't have the formation strips to my knowledge.

The F-4S sure had the formation light. You can see that VMFA-321 has even included it as part of the fork on the tail.

You can also see it in the sceenshot in from the manual of the F-4S which I have put an circle around.

Be sure you are actually selecting an F-4S and not a J

Yes of course, the VMFA-321 paint is a stock texture set for the F-4S in the F-4S folder and I'm selecting this paint in the aircraft menu. So this is not the problem.

check if there is a slimes=1 or true or 0 or false in the aircraft cfg for that particular flightsim.X entry
