Landing Lights Beam

[Airone]

Hi guys,

 

i am working also on my own 3d model. the birds is flying well, I am using the A10 slot for that, and I have 1 question:

 

My model is using two landing lights on the wings (somehow like the Su25T). It is ok in 3dsmax to modelize the landing lights On/Off on the model, but I don't know how to modelise the beam on the ground.

In fact, it seems that it is non model dependant since I am always having the a10 light beam in the center whatever the a10.lom!!??

 

Any ideas would be greetly appreciated.

Cheers

I believe the light beam on the ground is hard coded into the sim, so it may not be possible to add another light reflection and move the existing A-10 ground reflection.

 

I think it's part of the shader code, which means 3DS won't be able to change the light reflection. Perhaps if someone knows how to edit shaders, that would help.

 

I was able to turn the landing light and the nav lights on and off on the aircraft with help from Gys71, but not the beam that reflects off the ground. You may have already seen this thread:

Hi Kato,

 

thanks to you and this post I read on lockon models several days ago, i did manage to add the landing lights working well, good job from you!

 

But for the nav light, i was lost when I saw that after extraction from cdds browser, the nav light has both red and green light in the same tga file. So I wasn't able to add this light on the model. Any clues about your nav lights?

 

Thanks for your work, your F18 looks really great now!:thumbup:

Thanks - glad I was able to help with the landing lights:thumbup:

 

For the Nav lights, if you don't want to use the tga with the red and green on the same tga, then use "Bano-red.tga" for the red nav light and "Bano-green.tga for the green. They are both found in "WorldTexturesTGA.cdds".

 

Hope that helps
