3D Lights for FS2004

[Lewis-A2A]

Hey guys,

With some creative thinking and the odd accident I am happy to announce that Shockwave can now offer the 3d lights packge for FS2004.



See our website for further details.

Cheers,

odd accident?

Yep, we really didnt think that FS2004 would support these lights however with some random fiddling, all of a sudden bam we found a way to program them so they show and look great.  :D

There is one major disadvantage though. As soon as you retract the landing gear on an aircraft equipped with a landing light in its front gear (which almost all commercial airliners have: 717, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, 787 or A318, A319, A32X, A330, A340, A380 etc.), the lights go off and its impossible to turn them on again. I find this very annoying as it takes away some realism; landing light are not to be switched off before 10.000ft.
Will there be a patch available who will fix this?

Unfortunatly this is the best we could do with the way MSFS works. Otherwise you end up with a floating gear light which is even more unrealistic.

However I believe with some tweaking you can get back to the floating light if you so wish.

I tried to solve the problem by deleting the [lights] entrys for the nose gear, for the default FS9 734 it then looks like this:

light.8 = 5, 6.54, 7.25, -2.20, fx_Shockwave_landing_light_narrow ,      
light.9 = 5, 6.50, -7.25, -2.20, fx_Shockwave_landing_light_narrow ,      
//light.10 = 5, 43.05, 0, -4.74, fx_shockwave_landing_light_double ,      
//light.11 = 5,

Glad you sorted it. For any further questions please drop by our forums, also there you will find many config's for all manner of third party aircraft.
