G'day guys,

Just noticed a bit of a problem - with a few of the repaints of the df 747-400 as a freighter - at night, the cockpit lights flicker in time with the red beacon lights.

It can be seen in virtual cockpit and outside view.  In VC view, it actually makes me a little nautious on long flights - is there a way to fix this?

Is there a turtorial on the "light" textures somewhere as well? - I'd love to be able to make my own - cheers

I've run across this too. It would seem that the sim only allows a certain number of one type of sprite at a time. Sprites are the particles that are emitted by effects files, like those that are responsible for making lights look, well, bright.

How comfortable would you be with opening and maybe editing those lighting effects?

The reason being, I've found that many effects used for lighting, have an entry in them that spcifies that effect as a light source. Meaning there is the light "bulb", if you will, and a seperate light "glow", that makes the "bulb" appear to light up the model around it.
