April 8, 201214 yr Is anyone using Shockwave3D lights with the NGX? Any issues or performance hit? Mark Mardjani i7 2600K, ASUS P8P67 Deluxe, Nvidia 560Ti, 8GiG RAM, WIN 7 / 64, All PMDG, FSX+ACCEL, GEX, UTX, AS2012, Ult. Traffic 2, Aerosoft Manhattan X, FSDT, Imagine Sim, EZDOK, Track IR
April 8, 201214 yr If you enter "shockwave" into the search engine you will see a lot of discussion topics about how to install them into the NGX.

April 8, 201214 yr Is anyone using Shockwave3D lights with the NGX? Any issues or performance hit? It works, but in a unrealistic manner. If you want to have lights floating around because they are neither following the gear's suspension (e.g. before and after take-off) nor the wing tips' movements then do it. Regards,Axel

April 9, 201214 yr Mark, Try this config for the 800wl aircraft.cfg;- It works well for me.

April 9, 201214 yr Guys, you are right, it's possible but just for one specific aircraft weight and balance. From far away it might be okay... What I personally dislike additionally is the fact that shockwave lights are too bright - at least during the day. I decided to remove them from all of my payware aircraft. They are great for AI, though. The attached pics may show what I want to say: The Queen looks great but in reality it does not look as bright and the difference for both of the P-12 pictures is even more evident (the first is way too bright). However, I love the NGX as she is - the lights are visible and that's it (see the last pic). EDIT: Oops, the picture format requires to click in to see all of them (sorry). Regards,Axel
April 9, 201214 yr Agreed, the Shockwave lights are unrealistically bright, particularly in the day because FSX doesn't adjust the way lights appear according to overall environmental light levels. Shane Gavin
April 12, 201214 yr ... and nobody said "what a nice picture" at least to the last one. :sorry: Regards,Axel
May 2, 201214 yr A video I made a while backl with the shockwave lights - NGX-800wl Phil Mosley - Rotation Films http://youtube.com/rotationfsx @RotationFilms
May 2, 201214 yr Thanks Richard, That was me just pissing about too when I first got the NGX.. Funny thing is it gets more views than the ones I take my time over - ah well.. Phil Mosley - Rotation Films http://youtube.com/rotationfsx @RotationFilms
May 2, 201214 yr Isint that always the way it is lol yah just never know how people will react you think one thing and they do another anyway awesome work my friend. Rich Sennett
May 2, 201214 yr aye, the video is awesome. Realistic o not, shockwave is THE thing for FSX videos :Liar:
