Shockwave 3D Lights: Config for PMDG 737-600

Featured Replies

Hello friends,

 

As title say, i'm looking for a working config of SW 3D Lights for this bird.

Tried a few i found through google but they don't fit.

 

Here's an example

 

[LIGHTS]

//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing

 

light.0 = 2, -100.226, 0.090, 5.982, fx_shockwave_strobe_l_3 , //Aft Strobe

 

light.1 = 1, -40.044, 0.000, 8.328, fx_shockwave_beaconh , //Top Beacon

 

light.2 = 1, -47.352, 0.000, -5.630, fx_shockwave_beaconb , //Bottom Beacon

 

light.3 = 3, -63.529, -55.655, 1.839, fx_shockwave_navred , //Left Nav Light red

 

light.4 = 2, -64.423, -55.982, 1.832, fx_shockwave_strobe_l_2 , //Left Strobe

 

light.5 = 3, -63.457, 55.560, 1.865, fx_shockwave_navgre , //Right Nav Light green

 

light.6 = 2, -64.387, 55.982, 1.814, fx_shockwave_strobe_l_2 , //Right Strobe

 

light.7 = 3, -69.411, -56.550, 1.500, fx_navwhi_pmdg, //Left Position Light

 

light.8 = 3, -69.411, 56.550, 1.500, fx_navwhi_pmdg, //Right Position Light

 

light.9 = 3, -100.226, -0.090, 5.982, fx_navwhi_pmdg, //Aft Position Light

 

light.10 = 5, -30.352, 12.000, -2.000, fx_pmdgland, // Landing Light Illumination Engine Right

 

light.11 = 5, -30.352, -12.000, -2.000, fx_pmdgland, // Landing Light Illunination Engine Left

 

light.12 = 6, -14.000, 0.000, -7.750, fx_shockwave_landing_light_small_xenon,// Taxi Light Nose Gear

 

light.13 = 8, -51.000, -40.000, 0.000, fx_pmdgwinglight

 

light.14 = 8, -51.000, 40.000, 0.000, fx_pmdgwinglight

 

light.15 = 5, -36.000, 6.750, -2.000, fx_Shockwave_landing_light_narrow,// Right Inboard Landing Light

 

light.16 = 5, -36.000, -6.750, -2.000, fx_Shockwave_landing_light_narrow,// Left Inboard Landing Light

 

light.17 = 5, -36.500, -2.500, -6.000, fx_Shockwave_landing_light,// Bottom Left Landing Light

 

light.18 = 5, -36.500, 2.500, -6.000, fx_Shockwave_landing_light,// Bottom Right Landing Light

 

 

Looks great but it seems to be made for a longer plane as wings lights appear in the air near the tail :Hypnotized:

 

Thanks in advance.

Already checked there, no luck.

I believe 737NG from PMDG already have custom light build into model. Do not own this and cannot confirm, but please check, if You have some entries in aircraft.cfg under [LIGHTS] section

I don't think adding wing lights is a good idea on any plane that has built in model lights on a flexing wing.

Yes but you can get a way better effect with this addon.

(This has been already discussed in other thread) :Nerd:

Can't help ya with the 600 settings as I do not own PMDG but as for flexing wings I create two sets of lights, one for when I am taxing and a 2nd set for after take off. Works pretty good.

Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!)  Windows 10, (hold off for now on Win11),  EVGA 1300W PSU
Netgear 1Gbps modem & router, (3) 27" 1440 wrap-around displays
Full array of Bravo, Saitek and GoFlight hardware for the cockpit. Varjo and HP VR headsets for mixed reality.

A flexing wing will have little effect on the landing lights and rotating beacons, which are the lights most benefited by Shockwave lights. As I said before, place the Shockwave lights in the config file yourself. Then you can share it with the rest of the PMDG community.

Not trying to sound rude but I wouldn't be asking here If i had the knowledge or the time for learn how to do it.

Sorry. The original post through me off since you included the cfg file light listing, and since anyone who purchases Shockwave Lights receives instructions on making the modifications yourself. I'm sure the lights on PMDG aircraft are outstanding anyway without Shockwave modifications.

Can't say I really get your point as I was only talking about wing light's like nav and strobes.

Yeah, your post was clear. My point was that the wing lights are not important to the issue being discussed since Shockwave's greatest effect is not to those lights.
