Are there navigation light effects available for any Italian aircraft - CR32, CR42, G50, MC200, MC202/5, etc.?
 
I tryed a bit on the CR42, not to accurate, but I don't have the files here. If I don't forget, I will post the corresponding lines on monday.
 
For the CR42, right from ETO, made by me for the release back then.

<Effects>
<Effect Type="Track" EffectName="fx_ac_Light_nav_green" PosX="4.2" PosZ="1" PosY="1.05" MinVel="1" MaxVel="45"/>

:isadizzy:You're right, it wasn't the CR42 i was playing around, but I already copied your lights to all the other CR42's I put in ETO. Maybe it was the G50. As I have them on my 'puter at home, I will check it later today or tomorrow.....
 
If Nigel can get permission and come up with some skins,I have a really nice gun trigger operated search light for the Italian Night Fighter. The searchlight has a light effect on the aircraft at the light location, a beam of light projecting from the light and a preset illumination that will light up the target aircraft in the dark. This new light is based on the Leigh light and does not use the "light bullet" effects that I developed earlier. It would make a nice stand alone with endless mission possibilities.

There was a lighted night fighter but it only has the light effect on the aircraft and does not illuminate the target.

O-1
 
So, here we are:

for the Macchi MC202, veeeeery basic, not sure if accurate:


<Effect Type="Track" EffectName="fx_ac_Light_tail" PosX="0" PosZ="-5.96" PosY="0.2" MinVel="-1" MaxVel="60"></Effect>
<Effect Type="Track" EffectName="fx_ac_Light_nav_green" PosX="5.28" PosZ="0.17" PosY="-0.18" MinVel="-1" MaxVel="60"></Effect>
<Effect Type="Track" EffectName="fx_ac_Light_nav_red" PosX="-5.28" PosZ="0.17" PosY="-0.18" MinVel="-1" MaxVel="60"></Effect>

And the same for the Italian-Wings Reggiane RE2005:


<Effect Type="Track" EffectName="fx_ac_Light_tail" PosX="0" PosZ="-6.0" PosY="0.1" MinVel="-1" MaxVel="60"></Effect>
<Effect Type="Track" EffectName="fx_ac_Light_nav_green" PosX="5.22" PosZ="0.41" PosY="-0.05" MinVel="-1" MaxVel="60"></Effect>
<Effect Type="Track" EffectName="fx_ac_Light_nav_red" PosX="-5.22" PosZ="0.41" PosY="-0.05" MinVel="-1" MaxVel="60"></Effect>

and for the G55 (AVH and others)


<Effect Type="Track" EffectName="fx_ac_Light_tail" PosX="0" PosZ="-6.25" PosY="0.35" MinVel="-1" MaxVel="60"></Effect>
<Effect Type="Track" EffectName="fx_ac_Light_nav_green" PosX="5.85" PosZ="0.35" PosY="-0.00" MinVel="-1" MaxVel="60"></Effect>
<Effect Type="Track" EffectName="fx_ac_Light_nav_red" PosX="-5.85" PosZ="0.35" PosY="-0.00" MinVel="-1" MaxVel="60"></Effect>

Thanks so much. Your effects did the trick as well. Needed to tweak the MC202 a bit to make them "fit", especially for the DR versions of this aircraft, but the lights add immeasurably to the sim.

Hi wsmwsm

you're welcome! What did you change on the MC202? I'd like to try it too...

As I said, its only quick 'n dirty, any improvements are more than welcome. There are no cockpit lights for example (exept default CFS3), and no landing lights.

cheers

I'm sure these can be tweaked even further, but here they are:

IW 202s - Tail - X=0; Z= -5.00; Y=0.2
Green/Red nav lights - X=5.07 (green) -5.07 (red); z=1.02; Y=0.00

DR 202s - Tail - X=0; Z= -6.00; Y=0.2
Green/Red nav lights - X=5.25 (green) -5.25 (red); z=0.15; Y= -0.20

Also, for the DR MC 200s - Tail - X=0; Z= -6.00; Y=0.2
Green/Red nav lights - X=5.20/ -5.20; Z=0.25; Y= -0.20
