Hi guysI have a question regarding the config file and lights.I have a situation where all the lights are on and can be seen fine in spot view, but when I go to the cockpit view or to Virtual Cockpit view, there is no lights showing up.Here is the question: Is there a line that can be added to the config file to make the lights visible? If so, what is it and where in the config can I place it?ThanksBill

There are none from the cockpit Bill unless you are using the Merge if I remember correctly. This is built the in default so it cannot be changed in the CFG file. [h5]Best Wishes,Randy J.

So you are in the regular cockpit view and see no lights, is that all the time or just some of the time. I believe you are using the PONSKY merge (sorry) and I thought you would always be able to see the lights (and rain) out the cockpit windows. Some of the older landing views had the problem of not seeing lights but I doubt you are still using those. Let me know if I can help by sending my panel.cfg file and related bitmaps, gauges, and xml files.Mike

The problem is not with the pic but with another aircraft. I was hoping to make a simple adjustment to the config file to get these lights to be visable.here is the config[fltsim.0]title=BOEING 737-200sim=Boeing737-400model=panel=sound=texture=canadianvakb_checklists=Boeing737-400_checkkb_reference=Boeing737-400_refatc_id=atc_airline=canadianatc_flight_number=CVA303ui_manufacturer=Boeingui_type=B737-200 CVAui_variation=737-200 CVAdescription=From the most successful family of jetliners ever built comes the 737-400.
