I was thinking about something: in the real photo of the plane (as shown a few posts above), the parking brake light is reflected on the throttles. Is it present in the NGX too?Eduardo Rubini

I doubt his would be possible with FSX lighting system.

Thank you very much for the reply, Alexander!!Eduardo Rubini

You are welcome. I wish it would be different. Maybe with Microsoft Flight and the NGX3.0 :(

-the next project "leaked" along time ago. Its a 777. There are no Pictures that have been posted.

It was humor....

Everyone here knows that the 777 project is a wrong information from PMDG to hide the top secret Woodpigeon mega project.Triple Seven can't compete with it. It has no pogostick.

Actually I'm pretty sure it is possible. Just look how dome lights in the VC work, they light up the 3D model without any texture change, it's purely a lighting thing. Same applies to landing lights lighting up the fuselage (I remember in the FS2000 days there was always a seperate texture set for landing lights on...), or nav lights lighting up wing tips (check out the latest previews), or beacons lighting up the fuselage. I think even the stock planes do that, have a look. So in theory I'd say you'd need to place a highly customized red "nav" light FX at the P/BRK switch, and trigger it from a gauge and see what happens. But I've never done such things, so it might or might not work. Just a thought. :(

Ready For paint.

Can you show us some shots of the VC?!! :(

Hey Etienne,I don't know if there is any "real" lighting in the VC or FSX at all. To me It's looks like it's just plain 2D, there are no real light sources in the sense of the word and they don't cast proper shadows. Maybe the dome lights work by applying some advanced alpha blending, but I am speculating on that one. The landing lights on the fuselage are just an Alpha layer on the fuselage texture. You could make it heart shaped or make it display letters if you wanted. I think you can even change the colour to pink if that is what you like. The ground illumination of the landing lights is also just a texture which can be changed - think of REX.So it might be possible to pull off, but it wouldn't look very convincing.

Please do remember... The glow is not at all as obvious as it is in my photo in real life. I used a very long exposure time and some saturation. It IS there though, just not THAT obvious :(
