If anyone is interested here are the entries for the Shockwave landing light for the SU P-38.

Add the following entry to your [VCockpit01] section in the panel.cfg

gauge06=shockwave_lights!SW Lights, 1,1,1,1 //shockwave light

Add the following entry to your [Lights] section in the aircraft.cfg

light.8= 5, -0.08, -20.40, 1.10, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow_down_22

Thanks Tom for this. Saves us the work. I had to shave off the part of the command ie "_down_22" to get it to work. Guess the down 22 is an upgrade.

O.T. Saw this cartoon on msnbc this morn. In words it is thus:

A man and woman sat, while the man reads aloud from the newspaper. "Microsoft lays off 5000 workers". The woman replies, "I sure hope they backed them up before deleting them" :icon_lol:
 
A couple of question:

The VC night lights come on with the L keyboard key. Are those what are called the flourescent lights? Or are the flourescent lights a second type of night lights in the VC?

The flourescent light switch in the VC cabin does not work for me, a Vista PC in DX10 mode.

I have TrackIR so I can move about to see many switches normally blocked by the yoke. I've found NO way to exclude the yoke. Is this a feature or not?

The flourescent lights are the ones beneif the fuse. That little switch seems to be causeing a lot of hassel for some people, for some it crashes the system, others it just doesnt work ... yet for others it works fine ... so far the 2 people whos pc it crashed had Nvidia cards ... but i've got one (9800GT) and its working fine, so i'm not sure whats causeing it ...

To hide the yoke just click the leather bit at the bottom of the yoke stand, click again to turn back on :)
 
Stitz, those paints look very nice. Thanks for the yoke info. Works great. As for the flourescent lights they must not be working for me. Still don't know what they are supposed to illuminate. My PC specs are below for your info. These features need to be a part of the docs. If they are there I missed seeing them somehow.

Larry, thanks for the shockwave update info. Downloaded, but yet to install.

the flourescent lights will only show if you click the switch. The lights themselves are located on the bottom of the fuse pod (for lack of better wording) and can be seen in Rogers screenshot earlier in the thread

The manuals where jesse's department, to be fair he was busy bug spoting and considering the low amount of them he did a good job :)

Theres deffinitly a trend with the switch not working with nvidia cards ... i'm wondering if its to do with drivers ... i'm useing the 190.62 drivers and it works fine for me. Your useing the 182.50 and i'm not sure which version stansdds is useing? Any of you ATI lot haveing troubles with it?? Any other Nvidia users as well?
 
#2 Engine problem

The #2 engine is always smoking and periodically shuts down. I must not have something set correctly but I can't figure it out. The Manifold Pressure gauge, the RPM gauge and the #2 eng fuel pressure each have a very slight tick or deflection that occurs approximately once per second. This a very small movement but gets slightly larger as the engine power increases. All of the temperatures, oil pressures, fuel pressures read the same. The only difference is this slight tick in the three gauges mentioned. Fuel pumps are on and all switches I can find are the same.

I am getting very good FPS with everything pretty much maxed.

Thanks in advance,

Tom
 
I went ahead and bought this last night and I must say im impressed. Some issues im having have already been discussed like inoperable starter switches. As for the fluorescent lights, when i put my pointer on the switch i get the finger that indicates its clickable, but when i click it i get no result. Also it looks like the generator switches are inop? Im looking forward to the updated paints, the frames are great, i love the VC and the FM. One question is how do i drop the tanks??
 
the drop tank visability is controled by how much fuel you put in them in the fuel/payload screen. If you dont put any fuel in the 2 external tanks then they dont show. They also disapear in the sim if you run the tanks dry.
 
In the FSX controls settings there is an entry for releasing the drop tanks. You have to map it to a keyboard key and once you do it does work for this aircraft.
 
Look'n good Stiz!! Looking forward to seeing what the patch does. Hang tight, life is one looooong learning experience! If you not learning new life lesson's every day what fun would living be? From what I've seen you do the past few years your a very talented young man with a bright future!:ernae:
