Icon A5

[Doug]

Is anybody able to get this to fly in V5?

Just installed it, it works. A bit bumpy on water, ok on land. I don't know how it behaves in V4, though.

Edit: And wakes go up.

Here's a video:

Haven't tried it yet! Wakes go UP?  Maybe you have an wake effect that the Icon is referring to without the ground decal entry.

All wake files need the  ground decal=1 in the wake fx to ensure it goes horizontal on the water and not vertical into the sky.

For it's wake.fx >  under the  [Particle.0], [Particle.1] of the wake effect -
make sure you have it in the coding:
Ground Normal=1
Ground Decal=1

That should fix it!

--------- 

Better yet.. the wake effect for that Icon should be    fx_DolphinSpray (If set the same as mine).
so attached is my wake effect.   (You can check the effects section of the Icon A5 aircraft.cfg but it should read > water=fx_DolphinSpray

If that is the wake being called in your icon then make a backup/rename that wake file in your effects folder: (where ever that might be) - to turn off  fx_DolphinSpray.fx (add an extension .ORIG or .OFF . to your file.

(DL/Extract my attached fx_DolphinSpray.zip and put the fx_DolphinSpray.fx effect into your effects and try the Icon again. Hopefully the water effect will be horizontal?

Yes, you can see the wake going up in my video.
Thank you Norm, I will check.

It works now. But I had to change your effects file, Norm. It did not heve those 2 entries in the section [Particle.0]. That fixed it finally.

I think the wakes are ok now?

Good! One wake down!

[kaha]

Yes.

Nice plane, just flying a leg with it. Like driving a car.

Got it working, along with the Goose ... slowly but surely getting things in order. Thank you.
