KBT P3 Smoke Effects corrections

SOH-CM-2025
This is correction to my P3 Shockwave lights and exhaust smoke effect file: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=4&linkid=18277

I notice that one of the engines did not have the smoke trail subsequently found that in the [LIGHTS] section, I did not have the numbering sequence
correct for each line entry. Please either check the numbering sequence or substitute the following for the original entry in the [LIGHTS] section of my file p3 Shockwave Lites_Eng Smoke.zip

Rather then have this thread buried in the rather well established P3 Thread, I wanted to make sure that this notice was more conspicious here for those that downloaded that file.

Note: You need shockwave lights installed for all beacons to work.

(light.0 and light.1): If you want brighter landing lights, swap the entry after the //// with the first light.

If you want to disable the upper forward red beacon (1st light just aft of cockpit area), then /// out light.11 entry.

Some P-3C models have two red beacons on top. some only one.

Thanks for the great work.

I downloaded the files, and saved the corrections in a txt file.

Will install later this week, as I'm busy with honey-do's.
 
Pardon my ignorance...

How do you get this "shockwave lights"... I mean where do you download it and what do you do with it?
I find the idea of a rotating beacon very alluring...
