737 Experience; texture and VC lighting problems

Postby brantmacga » Thu Jan 22, 2009 1:06 am

I have a couple of questions:

i just reinstalled moach's 737 experience.

1) cockpit lights in VC don't work.
2) Bizjet textures will not load. I copied the texture.gol folder, renamed, then copy-and-pasted the bizjet textures exactly as the directions said, and added the lines in the .cfg file. The preview screen is solid black and if i try to load, it gives me some type of failure and shuts down the program.



any suggestions?

Hi,

Can you post the contents of your aircraft.cfg [lights] section? I remember doing something with this a couple of months ago.

Texture: if you tell me where you got the 'bizjet' textures, I'll have a look at it.

Looks like you're missing the vclights.

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
light.1=3, -14.20, 55.85, 4.00, fx_navgrem
light.2=3, -20.19, -56.46, 3.84, fx_navwhi
light.3=3, -20.19, 56.46, 3.84, fx_navwhi
light.4=2, -15.40, -56.45, 3.95, fx_strobeh
light.5=2, -15.40, 56.45, 3.95, fx_strobeh
light.6=2,  -2.65,   0.00, -3.80, fx_beaconb
light.7=1,   6.70,   0.00,  9.75, fx_beaconh
//light.8=4,  45.00,   -2.00,  6.15, fx_vclight
light.8=3, -53.50,   0.00,  7.70, fx_navwhih
light.9=5, 22.90, 10.000, -1.900, fx_splash
light.10=5, 22.90, -10.000, -1.900, fx_splash
light.11=5, 13.10, 7.00, -0.25, fx_navwhih
light.12=5, 13.10, -7.00, -0.25, fx_navwhih
light.13=4,  43.8,  0,  4.3, fx_vclight
light.14=4,  44.3,  -1.4,  2.3, fx_vclight
light.15=4,  44.3,  1.4,  2.3, fx_vclight
light.16=3, -14.2, -55.85, 4.00, fx_navred

This is from the original aircraft.cfg file. I tried the upgrade version awhile back, but did not like it and changed it back to the original.
