Hi againMy apologies for not giving the entries for the landing lights on the J41, I copied the entries from an early test config, so here are the landing light entries that I have found to be close to the existing lights, but being so close to the fuselage it is a little difficult to get them exactly on top of the light units and get a good beam spread effect.Add to the arcraft.cfg lights sectionlight.12 = 5, 26.70, 0.00, -1.80, fx_Shockwave_landing_lightAnd to the panel.cfg [Vcockpit01] sectiongauge184=Shockwave_Lights!SW Lights_gear, 934,967,10,10The taxi lights are a bit of a problem at the moment, as the overhead switch does not turn on any aircraft.cfg file entries for taxi lights, so I

Thanks Jim really nice!mikael joahnsson

Hi MikaelNo problem happy to help, again my apologies for the slight mix up with the entries.Jim Hodkinson

Jim, i got some problems with the lights, icant see no navlight and the strobe really annoys me in the VC, i've read somewhere that strobes could be fixed but i don remember where?

  • Author

Hi JimI've solved the strobe effect by using another shockwave strobe, perfect! But when i use the fx_shockwave_navred (_nl/_old) there's no navlight? strange, i tested fx_navredcarenstat from carenados C206. that one worked, but dont look as good as your pictures do. And when i mean there's no navlight i mean i can only see the reflections on the wing and on the aileron balance weights.I've got the update for A2A lights redux. regardsmikael

Hi JimYes i got them both. But i had a proble from the start with default J41 PMDG lights, i could not see any navlights from the start, except from the reflections. Conspicuity (spelling?) lights where hardly visible either.CS C-130/B757/B727 got no longer navlights either. i dont know if there's some kind of software collision with pmdg. Could not get any good answer more than an FSX repair, and that's the most boring thing to do. So i started with testing the A2A lights. And now i have the carenado navlights and they look a little to general aircraft to my taste. thank you very much for your help Jimregardsmikael

Hi MikaelHave you got any add-on programs like ActiveSkyX or REX, as they have been know to alter the aircrafts lighting effects if you don
