Is this an aircraft you are modelling ? if so you need to use the attach point tool to attach the effects to your plane . RTMIf a downloaded aircraft there is a dearth of information to work with in your post and the model in question at least would help .

hello chunkNo, I mean taxi lights of default planes in FSX like B737-800, B747- 400 and The other plans..!! they don't have any taxi lights effect. I want to know how can I solve this Issue.Thanks

The original release of FSX had problems with the lights and the two service packs took care of them on the default aircraft,on my install the taxy lights and landing lights are working fine , are you running the RTM version , SP1 or SP2 ?

I already Installed SP1 and Then Installed Acceleration pack !! Thanks for your attend.

In Direct X preview mode i sometimes have lights vanish from the front but are visible from the side and back on any aircraft ,are yours never there or only there from the back ?

The taxi lights is completely Off with out any effect in all direction and I play FSX in directx 9 mode on vista and my VGA driver and Directx are completely updated I'm sure I don't have any display issue.. ">">">

What aircraft is it?

This is boeing 737-800 in default FSX paint.

There are no taxi lights on this aircraft (in FSX, not real world). If you switch the landing lights on, you will see the nose gear 'lit'.

There is an error in the default .mdl that mistakenly assigned the taxi lights to the landing lights electrical switch. :(

Hello billcan we solve this error manually ?

[Chuck_Jodry-VJPL 663]

yes it can be fixed , change the following -> light.12 = 5, into light.12 = 6, in the lights section of the aircraft .cfgchecking further i noted it was a .cfg error and not a .mdl attachpoint error , the cockpit taxi light switch worked fine after changing this one number.

737> light.10 = 6, 41.85, 0.0, -6.8, fx_landing,747> light.6 = 6, -40.0, 0, -20, fx_landing,CRJ> light.9 = 6, -5.00, 0.00, -2.85, fx_landing,Try adding these and see if that takes care of it
