Someone has figured out the names you gotta give to your strobe lights ?? And how about navigation lights ??

We've got landing and taxy lights already, but how about the rest.

I've just come across a page where it said that navs and strobes are to be added via the aircraft.cfg

Anyone has experiance with this ??

Thnx & greetz

you can add nav lights and stuff in the cfg if you want but if you want them to move with an animated part (nav light on the rudder for example) then you need to define them in gmax.

How is this done?

well have you done my landing lights tutorial a takeoff.to/landing. You need to do the same as that but name your material,

light_land

light_taxi

light_nav

light_recognition

light_logo

light_wing

i have left out light_beacon and strobe as makemdl has a few bits missing to be able to make these, it tries but hmmm undefined becon4 or becont

oh a link to the thread this is in at ffds freeflightdesgin


For the cfg method look in the cfg for one of the default aircraft and find the [LIGHTS] section,

here you will see for example

light.0=type,lat,lon,vert,effect,

where type 1=beacon,

2=strobe,

3=navigation,

4=cockpit

lat/lon and vert are the offsets in feet of the light from the referance datum.

effect= the effect file to use

You ask if I have checked out your tutorials ??? Question is: "who hasn't" ;o)

They are just so good. Although that I have had to mess around a bit to make the lights light up and the gear move.

But eventualy it does all work.

If you want to have a peek at what I'm doing:
