October 22, 200619 yr I haven't checked all the default aircraft but I did test the A321, B744, B738, and the CRJ700. The B744 and the CRJ700 work as advertised. The A321 and the B738 do not.I believe I've found the answer. If you look in each of the texture folders for these aircraft you will find an *LM.DDS file. This is the light-map file that provides aircraft interior and tail logo lighting. If you use a hex editor and open the *.mdl files (models) you will see a call/reference to the LM files in the B744 and the CRJ700.You will not, however, find any references to the LM files in the B738 and the A321. I believe that is why you do not have these lighting elements for these aircraft during night operations. Someone left these references out.Now if someone would kindly solve the riddle of the black-out AI aircraft. For those that haven't heard, no AI aircraft transitioned from FS9 into FSX display the aircraft interior and tail logo lights. The pointer file (texture.cfg) will not implement the "fallback" pointer to the FSX/texture folder (the location where we stored a "single" copy of all the light-map files for AI aircraft in FS9). The only way you can get night lighting mentioned here is to store the "l" file in each texture folder. There goes the disk storage neighborhood. :-(Frank
