Problem with nose floodlights. Help!

Hey guys,

I used a lighting mod found here as I was trying to increase FPS http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php/files/file/1693-dcs-a-10c-fps-tweak-lights-mod/ and I forgot to save my default lights.lua :(

The problem is I have tried to revert to old settings (including a reinstall) but I cannot get the nose floodlights to appear correctly. I now have my lights back on everywhere including the nose floodlights but at night it does not cast light on the runway for some reason. I verify it is on (looking at plane model exterior view) but the light does not cast the light forward onto the runway. Very weird.

Can someone please help me fix this?

Lights.lua

Thanks Peter for trying. I used your file but still no illumination onto the runway.

Thanks Peter for trying.

I didn't tried- you did! ;)

when you do a re-install -make sure you also clean up the you "saved games" folder just to be on the save side(BTW: page 1753 on the Win7 manual)... I never used this mod - and I never will. So I can't say what this mod is really doing. - I just loaded up the vanilla 1.1.1.1 lights.lua you had requested.:)

Saved games path on Win7 for DCS-A10C:

>>C:\Users\>user name<\Saved Games\DCS Warthog

Edit:

on a second thought....

...if there are no lights at all - you have to turn back your lights on in the options.lua...

path >>C:\Users\>user name<\Saved Games\DCS Warthog\Config

>>options.lua

line #44

["lights"] = 2, -- <this is how it has to be to have external lightning on!

edit #2 :

see... now I'm trying! :P

... and when you don't know how to edit this options.lua - just delete it ! DCS will create a new default one, once started again.

Thanks Peter I will try this

That was it! The mod changed the options.lua just as you suspected. Thanks so much for this Peter, you are very helpful! Over and out from Texas.

Thank you for thanking me.

And welcome aboard!

...pirates don't try something... we just do!
