July 7, 200322 yr Good Afternoon All,Been looking at PMDG's great aircraft and I have noticed something. On their Boeing 737-600 Air Europa & Boeing 737-700nof WestJet the cabin lighting is controlled by the Landing Lights being switched on & off.When the landing lights are switched on, the cabin lights come on and the landing lights are switched off, the cabin lights go off.This is totally unrealistic! Normally when the landing lights come on (for take off or landing) the cabin lights are dimmed! NOT turned on!Is there anyway of getting around this simple programming error?Kind RegardsKimberly
July 7, 200322 yr Hi Kimberly,thanks for bringing this to our attention, seems like a night alpha problem, if you have any other liverys with the same window config, just swap out the fuse_1_L.bmp for the -600, and pmdg_700_fuse_L.bmp for the -700...we'll get a fix done asap.Regards,Bob JonesPrecision Manuals Development Groupwww.precisionmanuals.com
July 7, 200322 yr Hi ya Bob,Thanks for your help, I will swap the files, and I let you know if their are any other problems.Would it be possible to have the cabin lights slightly dimmed while the take off / landing lights are on? If this could be done, it would make your aircraft look kick ar*e.Kind RegardsKimberly. :-outta
July 7, 200322 yr Hi Kimberly,sorry luv (insert Essex accent..LOL), can't be done, the window lights are only connected to one night bmp, so as the LL's get switched on/off, they stay the same, I must agree tho, it would be a great effect ;).Regards,Bob JonesPrecision Manuals Development Groupwww.precisionmanuals.com
July 7, 200322 yr That was it!I've also noticed that! ;-)The liverys needing this "fix" are all the -600 ones except for PMDG and SASand in the -700 series are all needing except PMDG and easyjetJos
July 8, 200322 yr Bob,If you'll notice, though, the splash lighting on the rear of the fuselage goes out with the window lights. Now, the tail fin light stays on, but the small part of the light that hits the top of the fuselage goes out. This leaves an sharp "cutoff" of light where the vert stab meets the fuselage - yuck.Best,Bill
