I found out that the dome lights of the cockpits were badly misplaced....thats why they wont work.

Here is my fix, just copy that lights-section in your 737-200 aircraft.cfg and overwrite the old one.

[LIGHTS]
light.0 = 1,   5.10,   0.00, -7.20, fx_beaconb
light.1 = 1,   3.10,  -0.10,  6.35, fx_beaconh
light.2 = 7,  33.60, -1.50, 3.50, cs737_vclightwhi
light.3 = 10, 33.40,  1.60, 3.30, cs737_vclightwhi
light.4 = 8,   2.00,  -14,  -1.00, cs737_vclightwhi
light.5 = 8,   2.00,   14,  -1.00, cs737_vclightwhi
light.6 = 9,  33.00,   0.00, -5.00, cs737_ww
light.7 = 9,  -6.87,   2.00, -4.50, cs737_ww
light.8 = 9,  -6.87,  -2.00, -4.50, cs737_ww


I will provide a full shockwave 3d lights version soon....

Looks good, I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Our fault. Thats because the VC has been moved (aligned with an exterior) in the 1.0.
On the list for 1.1

That one is for shockwave 3d-lights owners. I wasnt able to get the beacons right because they somehow move when panning views, but all the others look quite good.
Also, on every wing tip there are 2 nav lights, but since FSX has a limit of 18 lights per aircraft, I placed only one of them.

Your config is good but taxi light is missing :( and logo light too

The CS 737-200 doesn't have logo lights. AFAIK most real world 737-200s are not equipped with logo lights but some do.

See my other post:

I know, this is because I am not that familiar with entering the right values in the panel.cfg so the taxilight beam vanishes when the nose gear is retracted. Also, as stated in the manual, the light does not automatically turn off when the gear is retracted, so anyways the outcome would be unrealistic. I decided to leave the nose gear light alone because of that.

Another issue is the light cast of the beacon lights. On my 727-100, the same light effect casts a red shine to the aircraft fuselage, it does not on the 737, for some reason. I will make a new config as soon as CS releases v1.1, because right now it would not make much sense.

Taxi lights are in the model.
And there are no logo lights on the real 737-200.

The logo lights that you have seen on the -200 series was an addon
after the fact. Some carriers were updating the -200 long after the production stopped using parts from later model 737's.
