CFS2 Questions

Just got back to flying in CFS2 after a long time. My previous install was lost when my HD crashed last year and I am currently using a really old install I had stashed on my external (G:\) drive. Works fine but I would like to move it over to my main (C:\) drive. Can I just move/copy the whole folder over to my main drive and change the .exe path without worrying about registry entries?
Second question: Over the past few years has anybody figured out how to make aircraft lights work in CFS2? The game has lighting command options but I am clueless as to how to get any kind of nav light, beacon, or other aircraft lights (other than vc_light) to work. I know there's a lot of CFS2 corporate knowledge here so any info would be appreciated. :encouragement:
 
CFS2 won't care about registry entries.

Only one light/effect can be used in the [LIGHTS] section for CFS2. The sort of okay workaround is to make a light effect that has the VC and all maker lights in one effect file than can be turned on/off with the L key.
 
I have a similar problem. My hard drive just went south. I have the entire MS Games/CFS2 folders (WWII and WWI installs) backed up on an external drive. If it's possible to just copy and paste without reinstalling a vanilla version that's great news. Will doing this cause a problem with Mission Builder or can I just copy and paste the shortcuts as well?
