This lilttle bird has some AWESOME attention to details. (though I dont think it has navigation lights)

Look at the interior. its photorealistic with seats that look like cloth.

One of the most realistic looking pilots I have seen

Great sound file too.

I recommend. havent tried it at night yet so not sure if the lights are faulty or not. Or maybe I am just not pushing the right button, but if you are a leisure prop junkie like me, by all means enjoy this bird

landing lights and interior dome light/panel lights work but no wing tail fuselage lights do.

Hope someone fixes this :D

exterior lighting is defined in the aircraft.cfg file...should be easy to substitute in some lights and adjust the positions.

As a starting point, use the appropriate section from the FS Piper, another low-wing monoplane:

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit        
light.0=3,  -9.00, -15.11, 0.05, fx_navred
light.1=3,  -9.00,  15.11, 0.05, fx_navgre
light.2=3, -23.30,   0.00, 4.55, fx_navwhi
light.3=2, -16.30,   0.00,-1.65, fx_strobe
light.4=2, -23.30,   0.00, 4.55, fx_strobe
light.5=1, -21.85,   0.00, 5.00, fx_beacon
light.6=4,  -8.00,   0.00, 2.15, fx_vclight

For those unfamiliar the numbers are configured as so:

light.0=3,   -9.00, -15.11, 0.05, fx_navred

Position Forward/Aft of reference (Forward is positive)
Position Left/Right of Reference (Right is positive)
Position Above/Below Reference (above is positive)

At a minimum you will want the first three entries (required Nav lights). I'm not sure about the strobes or the anti-collision beacon. VC light is mostly a matter of taste.

Good shots of a nice looking aircraft.

The Robin & its predecessor the Jodel are also popular in the UK. If anyone is interested this site gives full details of the history of the design.

Thats a great plane. I downloaded the older FS2002 version plus the FS2004 update - only about 6 megs... ;).

BTW, if you like that one, you might want to try out the Utva.

Cheers Paul
