David M.....One more quick AA 1-11 question

Post by dc10boy »

Hi David I noticed in the check list you posted (Thank you So Much) that AA installed strobes (noted as High intensity lights). I see in your .CAB a strobe light switch maybe left over from a previous version.Do you still happen to have a coord. location for the strobe switch? it appears to be under the nav light switch covered by an inop placard but I'm not sure.If you would like I could send you the panel.cfg featuring the LBS. and strobe mods or post at AVSIM for us Stateside BAC lovers.Thanks again
Stan

There's a problem with using strobes on this model.
You can set the strobe light effects in aircraft.cfg, but they don't move with the flexing wings & so look rubbish.
There doesn't seem to be a decent strobe effect that can be compiled into the model either, so the easy fix is to not bother with them.

To include the switch in the panel.cfg I'd just swap the INOPERATIVE_SWITCH gauge to be STROBES instead. Don't know how to put the lights on the exterior though.

I think I will include a pounds version of the panel.cfg in future updates, since the gauges are already sat there.
