Dome Light In 737NG VC?

[Guest DLM9000]

Is there a dome light in the 737NG to brighten the panel textures? I think the 1900C has it, but I can not find it in the NG manuals.Dennis MitchellPS, Everyone is swooning over the 744 news flash, and I am still working on the 737. I started late, because I had to learn completely, and fly some other aircraft I purchased. So many planes, so little time.

Dennis,If you have the 800/900 upgrade then yes you do have dome lights. But not if you only have the 600/700 base pack.Hope it helps,

Dennis,I just upgraded to the 800/900 even though I've had the 700 for a long time, don't know why I waited that long....Anyways, if you don't want to upgrade, there is a file here on avsim that might help youhttp://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=34549 (by Gerrit Kranenbarg)I believe that's what you're looking for.Hope this helps, and BTW I can only recommend upgrading to the 800 for all the VC features.Petehttp://members.aol.com/pzsoulman/myhomepage/logo.gifAMD64-3400,1GB/2700DDRAM,WinXP(SP2),DirectX9.0c,Geforce6800(128MB)(Det.71.89), CH Yoke/Pedals

I have upgraded to the 800/900. I thought this was a feature that came with it. (Dome Light in VC) Does the dome light upgrade from the 800/900s affect the 600/700s?I am really enjoying this plane.Dennis

DennisYou must run the model update kit for the 800/900 VC enhancements to become available for the 600/700 as well. You can find the model update on the PMDG download page.Hope it helps,

Dennis,it should change the 700 as well, as far as I know. But I'm pretty sure you'd have to install the 700 upgrade first. Did you install that?You can find that file on the PMDG website under downloads/service updates, it's the 2nd from the top:http://www.precisionmanuals.com/downloads/...le=438&iType=23Cheers,Petehttp://members.aol.com/pzsoulman/myhomepage/logo.gifAMD64-3400,1GB/2700DDRAM,WinXP(SP2),DirectX9.0c,Geforce6800(128MB)(Det.71.89), CH Yoke/Pedals

Thanks, you guys are a lot of help and I appreciate it.I see the optional models upgrade on the link (Optional Models Update for 800/900, 29 megs). Is this the one I need?I purchased it a couple of days ago, do I need to upgrade to 1.3, or apply any other service packs. Once again, thanks for your help.Dennis

[Guest DLM9000]

Got the Service Pack, didn't need it.Installed the Optional Models as you guys recommended, and the Dome light in the VC now works on the 700. I Ran the Batch file for my add on liveries and that worked well also.Thanks guys.Dennis Mitchell

Dennis,You have the right one. The optional models update for 800/900 29Mb is the one to transfer the 800/900 VC to the 600/700.If you purchased a few days ago the both the 600/700 and 800/900 should be up-to-date. Version 1.3 for the 600/700 and 1.1 for the 800/900. No need to patch.Hope it helps,

[Guest DLM9000]

Right, I ran the optional model executable and now all works as expected. Thanks for the help. Dennis Mitchell
