Shockwave Lights Redux

[Nandan Patel 10]

How do you install the beacon light? This is my POSKY 757 light section=[LIGHTS] //Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing 6=taxi, 7=recognition, 8=wing, 9=logo light.0 = 3, -13.50, 61.80, 6.10, Fx_shockwave_navgre ,light.1 = 3, -13.50, -61.80, 6.10, Fx_shockwave_navred ,light.2 = 3, -13.80, 61.80, 6.10, Fx_shockwave_navgre ,light.3 = 3, -13.80, -61.80, 6.10, Fx_shockwave_navred ,light.4 = 2, -16.40, 61.80, 6.10, Fx_shockwave_strobe ,light.5 = 3, -19.00, -61.80, 6.00, Opensky_757_nav_yellow ,light.6 = 3, -19.00, 61.80, 6.00, Opensky_757_nav_yellow ,light.7 = 4, 71.00, 0.00, 6.50, Opensky_747_vclight ,light.8 = 1, 41.50, 0.00, 11.00, Fx_shockwave_beacon_h ,light.9 = 1, 3.50, 0.00, -3.80, Fx_shockwave_beacon_b ,light.10 = 2, -16.40, -61.80, 6.10, Fx_shockwave_strobe ,The beacon lights just don't show, have I dont something wrong?And this is my POSKY 777 lights section =[lights]//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landinglight.0 = 1, 28.5, 0, 12.4, Fx_shockwave_beacon_hlight.1 = 1, 4.75, 0, -9, Fx_shockwave_beacon_blight.2 = 3, -112.0, 0.0, 4.500, Opensky_nav_yellow ,light.3 = 8, 32.7, -10.1, 1.3, Opensky_nav_yellowlight.4 = 8, 32.7, 10.1, 1.3, Opensky_nav_yellowlight.5 = 4, 86.502, 0, 5.4, Opensky_747_vclightlight.6 = 2, -112.0, 0.0, 8.500, Fx_shockwave_strobe_l,light.7 = 4, 86.502, -2.2, 5.328, Opensky_747_vclightlight.8 = 4, 86.502, 2.2, 5.328, Opensky_747_vclightlight.9 = 8, 12.5, 23, 0, Opensky_nacelle_refllight.10 = 8, 12.5, -23, 0, Opensky_nacelle_refllight.11 = 8, 25, 30, 0, Opensky_wing_lightlight.12 = 8, 25, -30, 0, Opensky_wing_lightlight.13 = 8, 0, 56, 0, Opensky_wing_lightlight.14 = 8, 0, -56, 0, Opensky_wing_lightThe beacon doesn't show up and where in this section are the strobe lights for the wings? Are they one of the "Opensky_wing_light" but which one? The flashing ons that is. I have found the rear strobe which is= light.6 = 2, -112.0, 0.0, 8.500, Fx_shockwave_strobe_l,Just want the wing ones.Please help, why are the beacon and wing strobes not showing up. Is it something to do with the merges? I merged POSKY PSS 757 and 777. Both those are from merged planes.

For your beacon lights take the underscore (_) out between the word beacon and the 'h' and/or 'b'. The effect file is called fx_shockwave_beaconb and fx_shockwave_beaconh. There are a few other beacon effects but none that are _h or _b.As for the flashing strobe lights - they are light type = 2.Sometimes you won't find any for a particular model as sometimes they are hard coded into the model itself.Thanks.I found this config for the POSKY 757-200 in their 3d light database[LIGHTS]//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing light.0 = 3, -14.30, 63.30, 6.10, fx_shockwave_navgre , light.1 = 3, -14.30, -63.30, 6.10, fx_shockwave_navred , light.2 = 3, -14.30, 63.30, 6.10, fx_shockwave_navgre , light.3 = 3, -14.30, -63.30, 6.10, fx_shockwave_navred , light.4 = 2, -21.40, 67.00, 13.50, fx_shockwave_strobe_l_2_nl light.5 = 2, -21.40, -67.00, 13.50, fx_shockwave_strobe_l_2_nl light.6 = 3, -19, -61.8, 6, fx_shockwave_navwhi light.7 = 3, -19, 61.8, 6, fx_shockwave_navwhi_l light.8 = 4, 71.00, 0.00, 6.50, Opensky_747_vclight , light.9 = 1, 41.5, 0, 11, fx_shockwave_beaconh light.10 = 1, 3.5, 0, -3.8, fx_shockwave_beaconb light.11 = 5, 20, 7.55, 0.7, fx_shockwave_landing_light light.12 = 5, 20, -7.55, 0.7, fx_shockwave_landing_light light.13 = 6, 59.5, 0, -4, fx_shockwave_landing_light_double light.14 = 6, 59.5, 0, -5.5, fx_shockwave_landing_light_double I didn't see one for the a 777Paul.

Oh, thanks, can I just copy your 757 [Light Section]? Thanks for that. Will it work?Anyway thanks for replying.

It's not my config - I found that one in their aircraft 3d light database list.You could try using it for yours. I'd backup the one you have (remembering to take the _ out of your beacon ones) and then try this one. If it works for you great. If not just resort back to your own corrected one.Thanks.Paul.
