Forget about it. I found the problem. When the aircraft file was loaded into FSX there was a subfolder in the texture folder with all the lights so it was'nt being read by fs. I moved the three individual folders"bump,night, & spec and took all the files inside and moved them to the main texture folder and they are fine now. Off to check on other problems. Kind of strange but when those were moved I started getting all my effects and a couple more lights on in the cockpit. Oh Well.
