Aircraft lights - nav, position, etc.

Featured Replies

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the brightness of the aircraft position and nav lights? They are way too big and bright during daylight hours and night time as well.Thanks,Ken

Open one of the aircraft.cfg files and look for the lights section. Each light uses an effect file, i.e., FX_XXXX:[LIGHTS] //Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landinglight.0 = 3, -19.14, -47.24, 1.38, fx_navredm ,light.1 = 3, -19.14, 47.24, 1.38, fx_navgrem ,light.2 = 3, -64.32, 0.00, 4.92, fx_navwhih ,light.3 = 2, -18.22, -47.08, 1.38, fx_strobeh ,light.4 = 2, -18.22, 47.08, 1.38, fx_strobeh ,light.5 = 2, -2.65, 0.00, -4.60, fx_beaconb ,light.6 = 1, 2.20, 0.00, 8.30, fx_beaconh ,light.7 = 4, 44.41, 0.00, 3.50, fx_vclighth ,You could try using a different light such as fx_navredc for fx_navredm. You can change them, see if they increase or decrease the intensity. If you don't like what you see, open the file with Notepad/Wordpad and see if you can change parameters to fit your needs.W.
