Shockwave redux lighting for Vanguard

[TSR2]

Hi Peter,

Just curious, but on mine the landing lights etc on the comet are modeled and are commented out in the [LIGHTS] section. Do your settings override modeled lights?

No, I can't do anything about the Modelled Lights...They will continue to show regardless of anything you do in the Aircraft.cfg file...My numbers just superimpose shockwave lights over the modelled ones. That is why you can see that Modelled third landing light when only the two Landing Light switches are on...The model has that light as a Landing Light but the panel with the switches has TWO landing light switches and Three taxilight switches.

I have given it a light for each switch but nothing I do will stop that Third Modelled landing light from showing when only the TWO landing light switches are on.

I have only placed these lights as an academic exercise...In my opinion the original Modelled lights look pretty nice anyway

Thanks for that Peter... I'll give it a go anyway as FSX doesn't like the modeled lights much (the materials problem I think). Thanks for doing the numbers.
