Anyway to get a landinglight to work on a fixed gear aircraft, It will work If I set "Retractable=TRUE" , but that creates a mess on landing if you forget to deploy the gear.

Posted (edited)

what I did on the P-26 is make the fixed tail skid retractable, with a very fast retraction time, and no sound (actually used the stock 3W "key2.wav"

 

here's teh data ini statments:

 

[TailGear]

SystemType=LANDING_GEAR

Retractable=TRUE

DeployTime=0.0

AnimationID=

DragArea=0.05

HideGearNode=FALSE

ModelNodeName=

InsideNodeName=

ShockNodeName=

ShockAnimationID=4

ShockStroke=0.2

SpringFactor=1.0

DampingFactor=2.0

WheelNodeName=TailWheel

RotationAxis=Z-AXIS

ReverseModelOrientation=FALSE

RollingRadius=0.30

CastoringWheel=FALSE

CastoringNodeName=

Steerable=TRUE

MaxSteeringSpeed=50.15

Locking=TRUE

MaxSteeringAngle=-45.0

InputName=YAW_CONTROL

ControlRate=1.0

HasBrakes=FALSE

RollingCoefficient=0.05

MaxDeploySpeed=97.2

I set up my Tailgear as Retractable=TRUE and landed with it retracted, Worked just fine, and with the MaxdeploySpeed set high I now have a switch for the landing light. Thanks
