Exterior Lights not Showing

Featured Replies

For some reason when I fired up fs2004 my exterior lights all of a sudden were not working correctly. When I would turn on either my taxi or landing lights it would cast a gray shadow, making all ground scenery within the lights' spectrum if you will disappear under this gray shadow. That was fixed by downloading and installing "newligth.zip". The strange thing with that is that the "spotlight.bmp" did not exist in my fs9/texture folder, it was as if the original file disappeared.But another problem started just when the one above did. On some of my planes, add-on and default, the nav, beacon, and anti-collission lights do not show at all. The landing and taxi lights work fine but the other lights do not work.I have not touched my texture folder or added anything that would effect it.Anyone know how to fix this.Thanks,Brandon

Does anyone have a solution?

It's probably a case of missing effects for the lights. If you check your [LIGHTS] section of the A/C config files, and then compare what is in the effects folder. You might have to reinstall FS9, and your A/C add-ons to get the lights working again. Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like -M.Twain
