Wow looks great! But I am hesitant to install my shockwave lights again because it always makes my landing lights (not the actual lights but the lighting of the ground) away and I end up having to reinstall FSX.

Hi themoseWhat a great movie !! Have you moded the runway and other lights in FSX ?

Looks nice. Only problem is that if you have ever taxied a RW 737 at night you would know that that is not how the lighting looks. It is not nearly that bright. The lighting is much dimmer, and more yellow. PMDG got it very close with the included lighting.

Your talent is a gift from God. How you use your talent is your gift back to God.

How come there was no light from the cockpit or inside?

Looks pretty realistic to me. If you were out on the runway at night, and your "Night Vision" had kicked it, you would find the Landing Lights of a 737 "BLINDING" as the plane headed directly towards you. The Taxi lights are significantly less bright -- you don't Taxi with landing Lights on -- sure way to upset other pilots ( etc etc ) Shockwave lights has numerous Lamp types, so maybe a less White/Blue one might have been a better choice.. What is really realistic at night, are the bright landing lights, when the plane is on a long final, or within a reasonable distance of the observer. If the majority of the planes are fitted with Shockwave Lights, then at night, the aircraft in the air, do look a LOT more realistic. IMHO Hypnotized.gif
