Hokay, so I have my fourth species as I'm sure is well known by now. Now, I've got two fighters I'm testing at the mo. One displays my bodged-together thrusters (bascially re-coloured Shivan thrusters from the Lightspeed pack) while the other does not. The second fighter only shows the thruster subobject with the red Shivan flame ani - but really really faintly.
It's all very odd. The model seems other wise fine. I tested it using the table from the working fighter, and no joy. I thought I had it when I realised the model had 'engines' and the table and PCS engine glow thingy had 'engine', but that didn't do it either.
So I'm baffled. Both models use thruster01a for the subobject name, and thruster03 as the default texture. Why does one model pick up the new thursters and not the other?
