FS2004 Boeing 737-400 VC Light Fix

Reduces and changes the color of the night lighting in the default B737-400 virtual cockpit. By Vlad Zaitsev.

Tested only in FS2004.

I've made this fix for those who like night landing on B737-400. I think it was too much lighting in B737-400 virtual cockpit. I reduced and changed color of light. Also I fixed VC lighting in B777-300 (it was too dark), now it looks more bright.

Installation:

Don`t forget to save your old files just in case!

1. Overwrite this [LIGHTS] section in your default /737-400\aircraft.cfg file:

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
light.0=3, -19.14, -47.24, 1.38, fx_navredm ,
light.1=3, -19.14, 47.24, 1.38, fx_navgrem ,
light.2=3, -64.32, 0.00, 4.92, fx_navwhih ,
light.3=2, -18.22, -47.08, 1.38, fx_strobeh ,
light.4=2, -18.22, 47.08, 1.38, fx_strobeh ,
light.5=2, -2.65, 0.00, -4.60, fx_beaconb ,
light.6=1, 2.20, 0.00, 8.30, fx_beaconh ,
light.7=4, 45.60, -1.15, 2.65, fx_vclighth,
light.8=4, 40.14, -0.15, 4.55, fx_vclighth,

2. Do the same in /777-300 directory:

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
light.0 = 3, -52.22,-103.52, 11.38, fx_navredh ,
light.1 = 3, -52.22, 103.52, 11.38, fx_navgreh ,
light.2 = 3, -54.34,-103.64, 11.38, fx_navwhih ,
light.3 = 3, -54.34, 103.64, 11.38, fx_navwhih ,
light.4 = 3,-139.00, 0.00, 8.42, fx_navwhih ,
light.5 = 2, -51.00,-103.40, 11.38, fx_strobeh ,
light.6 = 2, -51.00, 103.40, 11.38, fx_strobeh ,
light.7 = 1, -5.00, 0.00, -6.25, fx_beaconb ,
light.8 = 1, 22.00, 0.00, 18.30, fx_beaconh ,
light.9 = 4, 92.21, 0.00, 8.75, fx_vclighth ,

3. Copy and overwrite fx_vclighth.fx in FS2004\Effects.

4. Run FS2004.

Happy night landings!
