A320 Lights

Postby amaru » Fri Mar 21, 2008 3:58 pm

Hi all,

I have downloaded many A320/A321 aircrafts (mainly IFDG and Project Airbus ones). Their beacon, navigation and strobe lights don't work at all, apart from that, the aircrafts are great, anyone got any solutions to this problem would be great!

many thanks

make sure you put the effects in the correct folder you moire than likely left them in the aircraft folder. 8-)

...the Project Airbus I downloaded has a separate set of effects for the lights in it's own zip folder..effects.zip. Put the CONTENTS of this folder into your main effects folder and that it. Most a/c use the default set but just occasionally it is done this way.........commoner ;)

A glance at the Lights section of the aircraft.cfg tells you that it is indeed using it's own effects files....ie 320pa......if you really wanted to use the defaults then you could delete the 320pa from each entry in the aircraft.cfg.........either way you will get lights :)
