Missing Shockwave Effects

I think the strobes look good, in particular. 

 

The only real issue is the landing lights going off when you retract the gear, which is not at all real world of course (and whether this happens anyway, shockwave lights or not: as far as I can see, some definitely go out, some stay on, depending on the aircraft (I am only referring to a/c whose gear does retract of course: 99% of my flights are Boeings, Airbuses et al, rather than Cessnas - I love the big jets!).

It should be noted that (AFAIK) the shockwave light controller gauge only controls shockwave light effects. You can "stack" effects if you want to. When the shockwave controller shuts off the shockwave landing lights you will still have the 'stock' effect in place controlled by your panel switch.

Having noted in this thread that I wasn't sure that Tom 'liked me' earlier today I just see that he has passed away! That is very sad news: whether he liked me or not is of no interest now (I'll never know!) - he did sterling work here of course. My sincere condolences to his family.
