Landing light beam length

Featured Replies

I am trying to make the beam of the light more far from the aircraft. But I can't understand which parameter to change. It took me a while by try and try to make the light brighter, but i need it be longer (see screen from the flight panel), so it illuminates more ground forward.

Hi,

 

Take a look at this thread. It may help regarding the fall off distance.

Failing that, it may be better to ask your question on the FSDeveloper forum. They have more experts over there on lighting effects.

I changed the parameter mentioned in that post, it just made it wider as I see. and thanks for your effort!

I've been playing around with the Pitch parameter under the Emitter.0 section.  It may have a different effect depending on how the aircraft attaches the effect.  However, for the very old FSX C172 changing it to 45,45 from 0, 0 seems to work at least a little bit.
