Carrier Flightdeck Lighting

Hi All
I have been working on USS Enterprise CV-6.
She operated night fighter/torpedo squadrons from late 1943 onwards.
I assume she had deck lighting for landing and takeoff but I have no idea as to the details.
In any case, I do not know how to set up lighting.
Usio's ships have lots of lighting .fx files but how are they applied.

e.g.

This is part of JMK_Hiryu dp file

[EXTRA.5]
location=-9.7,13.0,77.0
effect=fx_Light_Position_Red

[EXTRA.6]
location=-9.742,13.0,76.6
effect=fx_Light_Position_Red

[EXTRA.7]
location=9.815,13.0,77.0
effect=fx_Light_Position_Green

[EXTRA.8]
location=9.844,13.0,76.6
effect=fx_Light_Position_Green

[EXTRA.9]
location=-11.606,18.195,0.112
effect=fx_Light_Position_White

[EXTRA.10]
location=-16.572,22.794,-0.334
effect=fx_Light_Position_White

[EXTRA.11]
location=2.19,10.02,-110.4
effect=fx_Light_Signal_Japanese_Rear

I do not anything about these effects or their application.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Stuart
 
location= should be from center of model, DPED says Left(-)/Right, Hi/Low(-), Forward/Aft(-) I'm going to guess the number are meters or feet.
 
Hi all
Thanks for the input.

I have marked out two small areas on the rear deck of USS Enterprise.


[EXTRA.4]
location=5.564,16.433,-121.648
effect=fx_Light_Position_White

[EXTRA.5]
location=-5.501,16.433,-121.648
effect=fx_Light_Position_White

Nothing seems to show?

From my understanding the sim is looking for an effect 'fx_Light_Position_White'.
I do not have this file.
Any further ideas.

Cheers
Stuart
 
Hi Captain
There are none so blind as those that will not see.
Spent a lot of time reading and missed the download 'here'.
Cooking on gas now.
Thanks
Stuart
CV-6 coming soon
