A2A Nav lights for the Alabeo Waco?

[Roger]

Anyone done A2A nav lights for the Alabeo Waco. I have the landing/ taxi/vc lighting as A2A but not the navs.

Thanks in anticpation...

I know they're modelled in and so no reference points are listed, so if no one else has done them I'll give it a go by trial and error, but may take a while because a great deal of patience is needed.

Here's my rendition of the Waco with shockwave bits (and exhaust flames).

The Strobe lights are a bit problematic as the defaults flash at a very rapid rate which I can't change. So if they are are too much, just hash(//) them out.:cowboy:

Fabulous! Thanks very much :ernae:

Can someone say what i have done wrong?

[HighGround22]

.
The first thing that pops to mind is to ask whether you have Shockwave installed. Sounds like perhaps you don't.

[sepp666]

After searching for about 2 hours i found the fix for that problem. There was a missing file in the Effects\Textures folder, but look here:

I am unable to see the exhaust effects. I copied and paste above to the Aircraft.cfg and pust the exhaust effects files in the FSX Effects folders. Is there a particular version of Shockwave
that will make the exhaust visible. The landing lights are now on shockwave just the flames from the exhaust that I don't see.

here is my afct.cfg with regards to the lights:

I then put the exhaust effect files in FSX/Effects.

So, no visable flames coming out of the exhaust pipes. I do see a tiny multicolored flashing light (pruple/red/yellow) blinking like a little aft of the exhaust pipes.

By the Grace of God, I was able to sort it out; guess this is like being on the freeway out of gas and everyone passes by and gawks/rubbernecks at you an they keep on moving with out any concerns. Took drastic measures and had to delete gobs and gobs of FSX files and then
reinstall EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING.
