VC Lighting?

[Guest Jason7070]

Hi,I know about the VC lighting tutorial, but is there any way of backlighting the gauges on the default VCs?If so how do i do it, or where is the file?THANKSJason.I

The typical backlighting technique is to apply a self-illumination map to the panel/gauge planar in the modeling program. This becomes a xxx_L texture in the texture folder with the areas requiring backlighting identified with a light color, as with a gauge face position.I know of no way to apply traditional backlighting without the self-illumination map.Without the gmax source for the default aircraft, the VC model cannot be changed to add that map.
