February 22, 200818 yr Okay, I guess its a thing of compromise.Btw. is there some easier way then simply trying out with different numbers, where to place the lights? Some tool to be used to identify the position, "somehow" :D Cuz if it ain't, then the program is in my eyes too complicated to set up, and I won't be getting it - I know how pain it can be to set up those points relative to the center. And setting it up for ALL my aircraft addons, I think that would take me at least a month if not longer...

February 22, 200818 yr >I can't wait for that first early morning or evening flight>video. :)Me too Jeff! ... I can see it now Virgin Atlantic flight number VS 028 arrives bang on time at a wet LGW Rwy 08R from MCO.First her headlights shining in the distance then after a sweet touchdown creates her own morning mist as the reverser's kick and dry the runway. :-hah regardsEdaka Capt.

February 22, 200818 yr Ed:Greets. I've noticed someone put together a batch of light configuration coordinates for AI models. Any idea if doing so to a large volume of AI would really hurt performance?
February 23, 200818 yr Author WoW, am I glad they re-thought the decision on not doing this for FS9.1.I emailed them on the day it was released and asked them to re-think this decision if it was possible.anyway, can some kind soul please tell me whats the difference between Shockwave 3D LIGHTS REDUX for Microsoft FS2004 (10MB) and the Shockwave 3D LIGHTS REDUX Mega-PACK for Microsoft FS2004 / FSX (10MB)Many thanks.

February 23, 200818 yr Commercial Member There are two products:- 3D Lights Redux for FS2004- 3D Lights Redux for FSXThe pack simply allows those who want redux on both FS9 and FSX to get it in one shot. The pack is not a single installer, it's 2 separate installers (one for FSX and the other for FS9) since the process of installing is quite different for both platforms.Scott.

I need to use the default bmp for some aircraft. regardsEdaka Capt.

February 24, 200818 yr Author Great video Ed, very nice.I like the reverser effect as well, very realistic.I think I'm going to get this Redux lighting, anything that makes this sim better can't be bad.Next I'm going to look into this reverser thingy.am I correct in doing the following here guy's?I have altered the config files in the Wilco Citation X, what I have done is the following.Wilco Citation X[sMOKESYSTEM]smoke.1=-13.3, -22.6, -22.6, fx_contrail_s.fxsmoke.2=-13.3, -22.60, 22.6, fx_contrail_s.fxsmoke.3=-13.3, -22.6, -22.6, Opensky_revspraysmoke.4=-13.3, -22.60, 22.6, Opensky_revspraysmoke 1 and 2 are the original lines, so I copied and pasted them below, and added the required text for the spray effect, and then numbered them 3 and 4. Or should I have left them as 1 and 2 again as they are different writing / titles.I have also added the text to the panes config as required.Thanks for any help. Steve.

February 24, 200818 yr Author Hi again.Well the following seemed to work just finesmoke.1=-13.3, -22.6, -22.6, fx_contrail_s.fxsmoke.2=-13.3, -22.60, 22.6, fx_contrail_s.fxsmoke.3=-13.3, -22.6, -22.6, Opensky_revspraysmoke.4=-13.3, -22.60, 22.6, Opensky_revsprayI think we should perhaps set up a database of this feature so others can just add the relevant details to their aircraft cfgs and panel cfgs, kind of what they have done over at the shockwave forums.Just a thought.
