Shockwave Light Query

[PeteHam]

Has any one done shockwave lights for the Lockheed L18 Lodestar ?

I've been mucking around with the light cfg but I'm not having much joy.

Thanks,

Pete.

Is this a payware Lodestar or freeware? I was looking at the Milton Shupe and team Lodestar and how the landing lights hit the ground even though the actual lights on the wing are pointing upward. Must be the angle of the bulb? Landing lights are called out in the model and it looks like a tough job trying to overlay the Shockwave effects.

It's for the Loadstar by Milton & Team.

And is the problem with replacing the landing lights?

Is this enough light to make you go blind? These are the added 2 lines for Landing Lights:

light.16 = 5, 0.25, -18.15, 0.750, fx_shockwave_landing_light.fx
light.17 = 5, 0.25, 18.15, 0.750, fx_shockwave_landing_light.fx

I made a slight adjustment on your figures, but I found the top shockwave beacon light I was using (Fx_shockwave_beacon_h) didn't show for some reason. I changed that to a normal beacon and added some strobes to the wing tips and this is what I've come up with ....

Not sure of the reason for a white and red tail beacon. If the red is not supposed to be there then that can be changed.

This will give you something to work with anyway.

That's because they were that way on some (or perhaps all) at one point in the production:

Thanks for that info.

I thought that I had read somewhere about the white and red tail lights.

Pete, do you have SWL installed in FSX-O or in FSX-SE? NC

[MrZippy]

Pete, do you have SWL installed in FSX-O or in FSX-SE? NC

I have ShockWave Lights effects in my FSX/Effects folder. Need some help with 'em, Chief?

[PeteHam]

Pete, do you have SWL installed in FSX-O or in FSX-SE? NC

My Shockwave lights are in FSX Steam.

Looking at the pic ( http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...l=1#post974022 ) I can see the lights 1 & 2 need to be swapped so you have red over white.
