MiG-19 landing light

[+Cliff7600 1,142]

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

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

Okay!

 

I'll do that, thank you Wrench!

 

( it's not the first time...)

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!

Looks ok to me! Double checking a few of the MiGs I've done, looks like I used -0.10 too!
