Ok here's the deal, i installed the awsome AFG Rathyeon Beach KingAir300, but i want to have my SW 3D light's on it.

So can anybody tell me how to installed them on it? all i know is that you have to do it thru the aircraft cfg file. And i checked the main 3D lights data base but it didn't help me at all.

Thank you people.

I did think of that, but the installer only installs the lights on the default fsx aircraft. All others have to be manually installed.

Here's what I do, which works for most down loaded aircraft:

1. go into the aircraft cfg file and find the [LIGHTS] section.

2. copy and paste them all directly below where they currently exsist.

3. comment one of the data sets by preceeding each line with two slashes.

4. on the remaining set, simply paste _shockwave in front of the original (after the fx).

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit
light.0=3, 0.70, -29.75, 0.60, fx_navredm ,
light.1=3, 0.70, 29.75, 0.60, fx_navgrem ,
light.2=3, -25.10, 0.00, 2.60, fx_navwhi ,
light.3=2, 0.60, -29.75, 0.60, fx_strobeh ,
light.4=2, 0.60, 29.75, 0.60, fx_strobeh ,
light.5=1, -25.70, 0.00, 13.50, fx_beacon ,
light.6=1, 0.00, 0.00, -1.60, fx_beaconb ,

//[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit
//light.0=3, 0.70, -29.75, 0.60, fx_navredm ,
//ight.1=3, 0.70, 29.75, 0.60, fx_navgrem ,
//light.2=3, -25.10, 0.00, 2.60, fx_navwhi ,
//light.3=2, 0.60, -29.75, 0.60, fx_strobeh ,
//light.4=2, 0.60, 29.75, 0.60, fx_strobeh ,
//light.5=1, -25.70, 0.00, 13.50, fx_beacon ,
//light.6=1, 0.00, 0.00, -1.60, fx_beaconb ,

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit
light.0=3, 0.70, -29.75, 0.60, fx_shockwave_navredm ,
light.1=3, 0.70, 29.75, 0.60, fx_shockwave_navgrem ,
light.2=3, -25.10, 0.00, 2.60, fx_shockwave_navwhi ,
light.3=2, 0.60, -29.75, 0.60, fx_shockwave_strobeh ,
light.4=2, 0.60, 29.75, 0.60, fx_shockwave_strobeh ,
light.5=1, -25.70, 0.00, 13.50, fx_shockwave_beacon ,
light.6=1, 0.00, 0.00, -1.60, fx_shockwave_beaconb ,

In some cases, you will have to look in your effects folder to find a shockwave light that closely matches the original. At the very least, you have the position information for the various lights.

Sometimes you can even add a beacon or strobe in the same position as a nav to get a different effect.

I hope this has assisted you.

Cheers!
