Maybe try to test with jets....and carrier planes with catapult too....

[dpeters95]

Ok, here is what I have found testing these alternate files in CUP.  First, you do not need the "EngineWep2.eff" file at all.  However, you do need both of the two classfiles to replace the existing classfiles in the "Classes-!SAS-EngineMod" folder.  I tried each one separately but the game crashes.

I also loaded all my mods back into CUP thru JSGME and the flames still work.  And the (Tiger33 UV3) flyby sounds also work.  I have also performed limited testing and did not notice anything that was broken by these alternate classfiles.

The file sizes are different between the original CUP classfiles and the alternate classfiles so obviously something is and is not part of them as SAS~Malone has described.

Unfortunately, I cannot take the classfiles apart and analyze them since I don't know enough about the new files, so I won't.  Both of the current CUP classfiles were added in the #WAW pt 14 update.

I will pass this on to Simon to be sure he knows and maybe hand over to someone that knows more about these classfiles.

All,
To hopefully, put this to bed, I received a reply from Simon saying that these alternate classfiles will be added as a JSGME option to restore the full throttle flames in CUP.  The current classfiles that have removed the flames are, in fact, part of the SASEngineMOD 2.7 in an attempt to standardize the SASEngineMOD and associated code.

Thanks to all involved with this.  I'm glad we will be able to restore this feature.

walter, i have managed to test about 6 different jets so far, with catapult launches and landings, and so far no problems at all.
still have quite a few more to test, but so far it seems fine.

Very good news! I don't know why I love this effect so much, but I'm glad it will be back. Three cheers for the smart people!!!

Stock 4.12.2m game doesn't have full-throttle flames effect.
That came from some effect mods and C.U.P. might compose it in.
And that mod made some changes in il2 core classes to show the effects. It makes conflicting to Engine MOD and not catching up to updating of Engine MOD.

I have no idea what name mod , in which topic it was released about full-throttle flames.
When you tell me it, I'll look into the classfiles what were changed by the effect mod and try to update/merge latest Engine MOD 2.7 codes, enabling full-throttle flames again.

I'm given the classfiles by Malone.
I'll try to merge both functions.

Thank you for your assistance western!  I tested and this works just fine.  I will contact Simon and hopefully, we will see this in the next CUP update!
