+Cliff7600 Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Hello I've added a landing light and a taxying light to the MiG-19 The problem is those two lights are turned on at the same time and I don't think it's correct, but I'm no MiG-pilot... I think the landing light should be on when the plane is flying and the taxying light is on when the plane is ...taxying! (yes I do taxying sometimes, part of the fun, ...parking as well!) Is that correct? Am I wrong? THEN, how can I do that? I think I have two options : _ Landing & taxying light together _ Just landing light, forget about the taxying light (doesn't appear on some walkaround, just above the nose wheel) ...but I like that little taxying light... TELL ME, what's your opinion about that? Thank you Cliff11 Quote
Wrench Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 The way TKs engine handles landing light is simply on or off. Meaning, they go on when the gear is down and off when the gear is up. Notice, when the lights are on (formation/nav/running) and the gear is up, it's off. When you cycle the gear down, it'll turn on Adding taxi light really dosen't add much in the way of 'lighting the way', it's just eye candy. Having been adding/fixing/adjusting lights on all these aircraft for nearly 5 years ... well you get the picture! If I add a taxi light, I usually use a dimmer output. If the Landinglight is Brightness=0.05, drop the taxi down to 0.03 wrench kevin stein Quote
+Cliff7600 Posted August 29, 2009 Author Posted August 29, 2009 Okay! I'll do that, thank you Wrench! ( it's not the first time...) Quote
+Cliff7600 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 So, to me it could be something like that : [LandingLight] SystemType=LIGHT Color=0.88,0.88,0.88 Brightness=0.10 Position=-0.34,3.65,-0.475 LightSrcOffset=2.6046,80.0560,10.50 LightSrcRange=200 LightRange=45.0 CanFlash=FALSE LightNodeName=LandingLight IsLandingLight=TRUE [TaxyingLight] SystemType=LIGHT Color=0.88,0.88,0.88 Brightness=0.075 Position=0.0,4.50,-0.65 LightSrcOffset=2.6046,20.6046,2.6046 LightSrcRange=150.0 LightRange=15.0 CanFlash=FALSE LightNodeName=LandingLight IsLandingLight=TRUE Good? Hey! Here's the Off Topic part : I put landing lights to the T-33 [LLandingLight] SystemType=LIGHT Color=0.66,0.66,0.6 Brightness=0.10 Position=-0.0975,4.05,-0.60 LightSrcOffset=5.3046,49.0560,3.50 LightSrcRange=150 LightRange=45.0 CanFlash=FALSE IsLandingLight=TRUE [RLandingLight] SystemType=LIGHT Color=0.66,0.66,0.6 Brightness=0.10 Position= 0.0975,4.05,-0.60 LightSrcOffset=5.3046,49.0560,3.50 LightSrcRange=150 LightRange=45.0 CanFlash=FALSE IsLandingLight=TRUE As you can see, I'm still searching... Enjoy night flight! Quote
Wrench Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Looks ok to me! Double checking a few of the MiGs I've done, looks like I used -0.10 too! wrench kevin stein Quote
