If you have this bird installed, can you PLEASE tell me....
  1. How to turn off the landing/taxi lights
  2. How to activate the wing-fold and tailhook

The CFG says wing-fold and tailhook are available, however, they do not respond to the usual key assignments.:banghead::banghead:

The landing lights are tied to a gauge and can not be turned off like normal lights. When you retract the landing gear, the lights turn off. When you extend the gear, the lights turn on. The only way around this is to tweak the panel.cfg to remove the gauge that controls the landing lights. If you want to take control of the landing lights, open the panel.cfg file and go to the VC section, and look for this line (last gauge line)

gauge20=A7_Gauges!DSBLandingLights, 1,1,1,1

change it to look like this

//gauge20=A7_Gauges!DSBLandingLights, 1,1,1,1

That will give you manual control over the landing lights.

The wing fold and tail hook work fine on my install. I have Shift F assigned for Wing Fold/Unfold and Shift T for Tail Hook.

Thanks OBIO. Now that I know the logic behind the apparent erratic behavior of the landing lights, I think I'll leave it as it is.

Rather neat, I'd say! :icon29:

Did you get the wing fold and tail hook to work? OBIO

I have several FS installs and I try to keep them similar as regards assignments, display specs and so forth. Well, it turns out the FS into which I placed the A-7 did not have the "W" and "T" assigned. Dunno what caused me to look at assignments...probably the little chap that sits by our ear. I wish all FS problems were as easy to T/S!

BTW, I changed the sound -- couldn't stand that grinding/clanking wmv at full or near-full throttle. I am using an FS2000-2002 file for the RR Spey, that being the engine on which the Allison TF41 is based.
