mikee Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hello, i have a question concerning planes navigation lights. I have just made a fresh fsx installation and something is wrong with my plane lights ( default or payware) they have huge nav lights! I have post three pictures just to have a look . Any help will be much appreciated! Thank you, Mike. I forgot to mention that i have also installed SHO-160 3D Lights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 That Spitfire looks like A2A, they install their own lights with their aircraft, like most payware. You also have the 3D lights installed, what you're seeing looks pretty normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 In case of, you can check out your effects folder and namely the fx_2 bmp as that controls fsX lights, and or adapt your aircraft cfg file to indicate which light effects you want to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikee Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thank you for your reply, is there any way i can change the value in their aircraft config. (and not the sim's values) cause in some planes the lights are ok , and others are kind of huge! That Spitfire looks like A2A, they install their own lights with their aircraft, like most payware. You also have the 3D lights installed, what you're seeing looks pretty normal. Thanks Bruce for your reply, in the third shot, as you can see there is something like a halo effect around the red nav light which i think i did not have this in the past! I don' t know how it got there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Hamilton Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Would explain the bass ackwards lettering on one side, A2A wouldn't have made that mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely right, i haven't notice, by the way it is a Just Flight's Hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramonb Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hello Mike I don't think Wolter is referring to renaming "fx_2 bmp" but to check that file. If you rename it, you will lose those lights, at least on airplanes that use it. Some addons change that file for an "enhanced" effect. Please chack your file's modified date and size. This is how the stock "fx_2.bmp" looks like in FSX SP2 Size 43 KB, Modified Date 26/07/2006 09:41 p.m. You can also open (and edit) that file by using DXTBMP, but if you do, first make a backup copy. Hope that helps. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
