October 25, 201114 yr I would like to be able to switch between two cockpit light settings:Example:Aircraft.cfg file, Lights section:light.6=4, 5.0, 0.0, 1.8, fx_vclightlgiht.7=4, 5.0, 0.0, 1.8, fx_navredI have a plane that the stock vc lighting is too bright for night flight. If have changed the fx_vclight designation to fx_navred, which provides a nice red hue to the cockpit and allows better vision of the outside at night. However, i would like to be able to switch the "dome" light on, as it were, by switching to the fx-vclight setting, when setting on the ground.Any ideas how to configure this would be very welcome.Regards, Danny
October 26, 201114 yr Danny, You could apply the light to a different, unused, lighting circuit then add a switch to control that circuit. The following are the available circuits.Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing, 6=taxi, 7=recognition, 8=wing, 9=logo, 10=cabinEX. ( as long as Cabin lights are not used )light.6=10, 5.0, 0.0, 1.8, fx_vclightlgiht.7=4, 5.0, 0.0, 1.8, fx_navredRoman FS RTWR SHRS F-111 JoinFS Little Navmap

October 26, 201114 yr Moderator Thanks for your "valueable" input......I am certain you have never, never, made a typo.Oh well......Of course I've made typos before... However, considering that even my normally eagle-eyed friend Roman apparently missed noting it also, I was simply trying to be helpful.There's no call for you to take offense for goodness' sake! Fr.

I am not upset or offended. The comment brought nothing of value to the discussion and was petty. Danny
