    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Section8 F86 Landing Light Tweak

Is it possible (using the A/C config file ) to lower the intensity of the landing lights. When there on they look like a couple of really bright snowballs ?!%$& :jump:


Regards.
 
I'm pretty sure the answer is you have to modify one of the light files? It seems very system dependent. I've replaced my light files a few times on different systems, but I never took notes on it. I'd look at the effect file and see what texture file it calls.

I'm hoping a tech savy simmer has this a/c in their hanger and is willing to look at the config folder to see if there is a solution to my concern.


Cheers for your thoughts

There is no adjustment in the aircraft.cfg that will adjust landing light brightness. Is there a landing light mentioned in the [lights] section? If not, then it's more than likely part of the model.

Yes , landing lights are a line item in the config file .

If that's the case, then you may be able to substitute another landing light effect from your Effects file. It will take some trial and error to get it the way you want.
