X-Plane 10 Aircraft - Exterior Light Help

Featured Replies

Hi Everybody,

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to adjust the lights for XP10 aircraft. I'd like to reduce these lights by two thirds. Anyone here familiar with XP10 settings that can lend a hand?

Thanks

There's parameters named "SIZE" and "WIDTH", so that's probably what you're looking for. Mind that light parameters set in the aircraft's OBJ override what's in lights.txt.
