Hello virtual pilots...
another question for you...

How many airplanes lights types existing in FSX?

1 Beacon, 2... etc. etc.
 
1 Beacon, 2 Strobe, 3 Navigation or Position, 4 Cockpit, 5 Landing, 6 Taxi, 7 Recognition, 8 Wing, 9 Logo, 10 Cabin

This is the list right out of the SDK. How to code them is in there too.

Thank you very much ...

I asked this question because I read somewhere that you get to 18 :isadizzy: ... I certainly mistranslated.

merida72,

You are also correct in your research.
One can have [18] entries or positions for lights on an aircraft.
I remember adding VC lights to an aircraft in FS9 + a beacon light that I thought belonged in a certain place. I soon reached the maximum number of [18].

I assume that now developers can "model" in their lights and not merely "attach" a little light orb to the inside / outside of their aircraft.

I did fool around with adding a VC light to the interior of the FSX RealAir Duke to brighten up the aft cabin, but this gave too much overspill of the light splash to the outside of the aircraft...deleted it.:salute:
 
Thank you very much ... then there are 18 ...

But I have another question ...

What is the keyboard command for the wings light type "8"? ...

I'm sorry but in the "setting - controls / button assignment" cannot find it ...
