Shockwave and PMDG NGX

Techno · October 27, 2012

Is anybody able to tell me how to get the shockwave landing lights to work with the PMDG 737NGX in FSX, I have followed the instructions on several sites inserting the necessary lines into the aircraft config file but to no avail if fact, if you remove all the (Lights) lines from the aircraft config file the PMDG lights still work which, leads me to question all the simmers who state " just insert the extra lines in the aircraft config file" can anybody offer any constructive advice ?.

Frustrated.

Thanks for the link OmniAtlas, have been there but unfortunately having obtained all the lines of text to add to the aircraft config file and added them as instructed, they have no effect on the NGX lights whatsoever, I even copied the PMDG BAe JS4100 info straight into the NGX aircraft file removing all the original text and that had no effect either, I must be doing something wrong but what, I have no idea.

Try these:

[LIGHTS]

//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing, 6=taxi, 7=recognition, 8=wing, 9=logo, 10=cabin

light.0 = 4, 47.000, 0.0, 5.500, fx_PMDG_NGX_vclight

light.1 = 4, 45.500, 0.0, 4.500, fx_PMDG_NGX_vclight

light.2 = 5, 4.50, -8.24, 0.32, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow.fx // Shockwave light

light.3 = 5, 4.50, 8.16, 0.30, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow.fx // Shockwave light

light.4 = 6, 42.60, 0.00, -5.45, fx_shockwave_landing_light_small.FX // Shockwave light

light.5 = 5, 5.70, 3.65, -3.80, fx_shockwave_landing_light // Shockwave light

light.6 = 5, 5.70, -3.65, -3.80, fx_shockwave_landing_light // Shockwave light

Or these:

[LIGHTS]

//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing, 6=taxi, 7=recognition, 8=wing, 9=logo, 10=cabin

light.0 = 4, 47.000, 0.0, 5.500, fx_PMDG_NGX_vclight

light.1 = 4, 45.500, 0.0, 4.500, fx_PMDG_NGX_vclight

light.2 = 5, 5.50, -7.90, 0.20, fx_shockwave_landing_light_small_xenon

light.3 = 5, 5.50, 8.50, 0.20, fx_shockwave_landing_light_small_xenon

light.4 = 6, 42.6, 0.45, -5.85, fx_shockwave_landing_light_short

light.5 = 8, 6.70, 3.76, -3.80, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow_no_flare

light.6 = 8, 6.70, -3.00, -3.80, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow_no_flare

light.7 = 1, 5.50, 0.45, 9.80, fx_shockwave_beacon_lowl

You can experiment with lights putting whichever you want, for bigger or smaller, xenon or not etc...

I have tried all different combinations including the one's you have kindly supplied Srdan but, I am obviously doing something wrong or missing something out because, no matter what I do or do not put in the

[ LIGHTS ] section of the aircraft config nothing makes any difference to the aircraft lights, even if I delete the [LIGHTS] section completely the aircraft still has exterior lights, I'm at a loss what to try next.

I copied these from youtube. I never tried them myself.

The guy who made the video on the tube gave away his settings, and I was also emailing with him, discussing his video. So it is all correct.

You do have Shockwave lights installed per manual?

Use mine they work perfect!, It took me a couple of nights just trying to get them to look nice...

Just copy and paste each section in the config file of each aircraft.... they are different aircraft to aircraft due to the difference in size. therefore you need a configuration for each plane...
