hey all 

 

posted this in the pmdg forums and we thought we should post here as well seeing as how it may be a dx10 issue 

 

basically my dome light will not emit light in the cabin, it turns on and shows the lighted texture but has no light 

 

i have the fixer ( most current )

i've reinstalled the 777

i've deleted the shaders 

ran the fixer again 

 

still no dice 

 

it does it with the engine running or not 

 

any ideas 

Thanks

You could check the number of lights in fsx.cfg

 

Various threads suggest it can be an issue

That did it !

 

Thanks Steve your a scholar and a gentleman 

 

Not sure what was left to do - and basically clutching at straws - I took a visit to my fsx.cfg and what do I see? NUM_LIGHTS=1

 

1, I'm thinking, 1? That's not right. So pop it back to 8 (as far as I know that's the stock setting) and voila! I have my dome lighting back! Yeah!!!

 

So a corrupt fsx.cfg was the culprit. No idea how that happened but hey, a good knowledge of your fsx.cfg does come in handy.
