Cockpit Light

[Lex2Limit]

Hello Volks,

I'm on the work to make Cockpit Lights  Visible in 3rd and 1st Perspective. Like GKABS A-6 Mods.

So how i can change the Light Source to invisible?

Here some screenies from a F-4J...

I possitioning the Light Source a little bit in front of the cockpit Flight sticks, but there is a red Lightpulp like a Trigger Fireing.

i don't want to see the "Light pulp"!

And how do change this Values the light source?

[PilotLight]
SystemType=LIGHT
Color=0.90,0.20,0.00
Brightness=0.03
Position=0.0,6.800,0.230
LightSrcOffset=0.0,0.1,0.1
LightSrcRange=0.5
CanFlash=FALSE

[CoPilotLight]
SystemType=LIGHT
Color=0.90,0.20,0.00
Brightness=0.03
Position=0.0,5.350,0.350
LightSrcOffset=0.0,0.1,0.1
LightSrcRange=0.5
CanFlash=FALSE

A-6 is not using a light source via SystemType=Light. It is an emitter.

Vortex to be precise. Guuruu made this for Tornado and forced us to use it as often as possible. I put this into many data.ini already.

example:

[AircraftData]
.....................

.....................

.....................

Component[011]=
Component[012]=PilotCabin_light

 

[PilotCabin_light]
ParentComponentName=Fuselage
ShowFromCockpit=TRUE
HasVortexEmitter=TRUE
VortexEmitterName=RedCABINLight_1m_Emitter
VortexPosition=0, 6.83, 0.46 <--- external view, somewhere in cockpit
VortexG=-5

and into the Effects folder:

RedCABINLight_1m_Emitter.rar

 

How it works

day

night (even if position lights are out)

OK. Nice! i woul'd try!

but how it works from Cockpit view? Can you turn itof and on?

No... this shows only on the outside view. Inside, it is automatic via cockpit.ini entry. 

It is not ideal, but in my opinion, the best solution given the game engine limitations.
