+Wrench Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Ok, I have the lamp placed where it's supposed to go, but its not illuminating the runway in front! For some reason, it's lighting up (seemingly) sideways!) below are the specs for the light: //left nacelle only landing light// [LandingLight] SystemType=LIGHT Position=-4.97,6.55,-0.12 LightSrcOffset=0.0,0.00,0.00 Color=0.88,0.88,0.88 Brightness=0.05 LightSrcRange=65.0 CanFlash=FALSE LightNodeName=LandingLight IsLandingLight=TRUE the image below shows what it looks like. Can some one kindly steer me in the right direction in aiming the headlights?? (I was once licensed by the State of California (tm) to inspect and certify lighting malfunctions & repairs, but this one's got me!!) TIA!! Quote
+hi ho silver Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Looking at other twin engine aircraft they have there's set to . LightSrcOffset=-0.07,0.07,0.0 Quote
+Cliff7600 Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 If I have to check something, I would delete : "LightNodeName=LandingLight" Quote

Guest Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) → Example on a "Su-25 Frogfoot" that left you: [LeftLandingLight] SystemType = LIGHT Position = -7,078, -1,526,0,352 LightSrcOffset = -0.520.110.0560,2.85 Color = 0.88,0.88,0.88 Brightness = 0.11 LightSrcRange = 110 LightRange = 80.0 CanFlash = FALSE IsLandingLight = TRUE [RightLandingLight] SystemType = LIGHT Position = 7,078, -1,526,0,352 LightSrcOffset = 0.520.90.0560,2.85 Color = 0.44,0.44,0.34 Brightness = 0.13 LightSrcRange = 120 LightRange = 80.0 CanFlash = FALSE IsLandingLight = TRUE I usually make changes to (LightSrcOffset) Edited March 23, 2021 by Guest Quote
+Wrench Posted March 23, 2021 Author Posted March 23, 2021 yah, I removed the node name, as it's just "stuck" between the left nacelle's 2 intakes. Does anybody remember the "SRC" bits actually stand for?? It's been years since I've see the defination (might have been on the now closed and vanished 3W boards) I'll make some experimental changes and we'll see what happens! thanks folks! Quote
Nyghtfall Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 I guess "Scr" is simply "Source", so LightSrc = LightSource. Quote
