Any fixes for default 737 lights?

Postby F35LightningII » Sat Nov 12, 2011 12:47 am

As you may or may not know, the default B738's lights have some problems.

e.g. When landing lights are in the "on" position, they're actually off and vice versa.

e.g. 2. Taxi lights don't illuminate the ground.

Has anyone made fixes for these?

I think those bugs were fixed in SP1 and SP2

The landing light switches are the right way round in the VC, but not in the 2D panel.

The taxi lights still don't illuminate the ground.

The 2D landing light switch bug is a pretty simple fix.

Open ...\SimObjects\Airplanes\B737-800\panel

Extract (I use WinRAR, any zip program should work) all files from B737-800.cab to a folder named B737-800.

Open that folder, then open overhead_popup.xml with Notepad.

Find...

I can't believe it!  :o
these people!  ,I didn't notice this before ,The airplane does not have taxi lights , I remember I did have to add a new visibility code into the modeldef.xml to "make the taxi light" for some of my airplanes..
So this mean (I haven't check this yet) but the rest of the default FSX airplane doesn't have taxi lights either
