I've been meaning to do something about this for long time and finally got motivated by the original post about some aircraft lights flashing too fast.
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=42327
I love flying my Carenados, but the ones that were using the older style lighting that flashed too fast was making me nuts. :)
So just after that post I started working with the Carenados that were listed as "Spastic" in that thread.
The list:
Piper Arrow
Beech Mentor
Mooney
Cessna 182RG
Cessna 182Q/182QLR
Cessna 206
All of the .cfg file edits reference to the default FSX lighting and effects. I didn't want anyone to have to go looking for special lights. Ya already got 'em! :)
The lighting effect placement has also been corrected as much as possible on each aircraft to better match the actual location of the lights on the model.
The one light I decided not to change was the lower red flashing beacon of the Mentor. When I switch that one to a default FSX beacon, the flashing shows up inside the cockpit. This was the one case where the older style lighting actually worked better. It doesn't flash through the floor like the default beacons do.
Here's the lot. Just make sure to back up your original lighting sections, in case you don't like these.
