light config problems

[Hagar]

No worries. I have plenty of time.

I think that's your main problem. Too hasty. As it used to say in my sig - "The only thing you make in a hurry is a mistake."

right ive done everything you told me to sept from i didnt install the f-16 tunder because i had it already so i just used the original file inside my fs9 aircraft folder and put it onto my desktop and placed everything you told me to into it and placed the thunder folder back into my fs9 folder and replaced it all.

[Hagar]

OK. Now fire up FS9 & try it.

right ive tried my f-16 thunder its working with afterburner wing vapour but i have to turn on my lights like i had to with my f-16 viper and it is the T-bird update version that is showing not the DSB typhoon gauges i want.

[Hagar]

Works fine for me. Are you sure you installed those gauges properly?

[typhoon reheat]

ill tell you how i installed them.

1). opened my f-16 thunderbird folder on my desktop and replaced the aircraft.cfg & thunder.air with the ones in the update.zip said ok to all.

2). then opened the DSB typhoon folder and placed the DSBxml & efa_gauges into my main fs9 folder. and thats it.

3). and then put my f-16 thunderbird folder back into my fs9 folder for it to work.

thats it.

[Hagar]

These are the gauges included in typhoon_11.zip.



You need the two yellow folders named dsbxml & efa_gauges. Select them & paste them into the FS9\Gauges folder.

Don't forget the 6 effects files from thunder.zip. Paste these into FS9\Effects.

oh yea i done that aswell everything you told me ive done.

[typhoon reheat]

look ive got to go now im going to get some sleep ill tslk to you tomoz about this ok.

and thnx for your help.

[Hagar]

oh yea i done that aswell everything you told me ive done.

In that case the only thing it can be is the Panel.cfg file. Make sure you're using the original Panel.cfg included with Thunderbird.zip. If that doesn't fix it I'm stumped.

Here's my F-16 Thunderbird installed according to my instructions.
Now you see it.


Now you don't.


The AB effect works with the throttle. The lights are OFF.

I appreciate the help too, Hagar. Tough problem to solve remotely. I'll pop on tomorrow and see how he's making out.

[Hagar]

I think I've confused things rather than help. Tomorrow is another day. We shall see.

Rather like the old days. I used to do a lot of this. I seem to have lost my touch.

[typhoon reheat]

hi Mr.hagar morning to you.

[Hagar]

Good morning.

Please check that you have the correct Panel.cfg as I suggested. If that doesn't fix it I'm out of ideas.

[typhoon reheat]

right so all i do is take out the panel.cfg form my USAF f-16 viper folder and place it into my tunderbird folder and thats it.

oh and the pics you took they do look like the ones i got but i have to turn on my lights to get them working.
