Stobe Lights Intensity (Read 776 times)

simboy_al Newcomer Offline Posts: 9	Stobe Lights Intensity Jul 11^th, 2012, 7:31pm I would like to increase the intensity or brightness of the my CS 757-200 strobe lights. Is there a way to edit the aircraft.cfg file to make this change? Thanks for your help! simboy_al

But... the aircraft.cfg file shows this in the lights section

light.0 = 9, 67.00, -2.00, 5.19, fx_vclightwhi
light.1 =10, 67.00, 2.00, 5.19, fx_vclightwhi
light.2 = 7, -17.00, -47.00, 2.50, cs757_sf
light.3 = 7, -17.00, 47.00, 2.50, cs757_sf
light.4 = 8, 13.40, -17.47, 3.40, cs757_edge
light.5 = 8, 13.40, 17.47, 3.40, cs757_edge
light.6 = 5, 23.50, -7.00, -3.50, cs757_edge
light.7 = 5, 23.50, 7.00, -3.50, cs757_edge

Not sure if the deal is here but if it is, what the heck do we change? Grin

So try to edit it. I thought there needed to be a line in the aircraft.cfg to say the strobes were using the "fx_strobe" effect. But if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Sorry about that.

You're right there should be strobe lines in aircraft.cfg, but there are not. And you're right once again saying the lights are in MDL file. Just open it with ModelConverterX and you'll see.
