Any chance you could copy and paste a copy of your [effects] section from your aircraft.cfg file?? Thats would be a big help...Lou N1472Q

[EFFECTS]
wake=fx_wake
water=fx_spray
dirt=fx_tchdrt
concrete=Opensky_sparks, 1
touchdown=fx_tchdwn, 1

I would think a copy of the [Lights] section would be of more value.

Check your FSX Effects folder for the presence of the various effects called in the [Lights] section.

For example:

light 18 is calling for a file named Opensky_nav_yellow.fx
light.17 is calling for a file named fx_stobeh.fx

(the suffix is omitted in the [Lights] section).

If the required files are missing then the light effects will not display.

Usually (but not always) such effect files - if they are not default effects - are included in the downloaded package.

Hope that helps.

Ok I Found "Opensky_nav_yellow.fx" but not "fx_stobeh.fx"

[opaplano]

Ok I Found "Opensky_nav_yellow.fx" but not "fx_stobeh.fx"

That was typo on my part - the filename should have been fx_strobeh.fx (I left out the r)

Those were only examples - check all of the entries to see if you have the fx files being called for.

[ttpp]

The file "fx_strobeh.fx" is there.

[opaplano]

The file "fx_strobeh.fx" is there.

Next step - please provide the complete, exact filename of the aircraft package you downloaded and where you found it, if not in the library here.

I would like to see if I can duplicate the problem.

Here it is , well I added a CAL Texture since its my country's national airline........http://simviation.com/1/download-file?file=POSKY_B737-800_TUIfly.zip

I am downloading it now - will get back to you when I have checked it out.

In the meantime, what do you see when you use CTRL + L ??

[ttpp]

When I press Ctrl L the landing light come on but now I see a Problem on the default 737 I don't see the same lights on it :(

[opaplano]

I am still waiting for the DL to finish -

Continue to experiment with CTRL + L and L alone.

[ttpp]

OK I tried that but I have found this I see the Default 737's lights but when you come close to it , it disappear and when you move to the other side you see it but that side dose the same thing.

[ttpp]

See what is happening to the default 737 now :( 86294

[opaplano]

Well I do not know what else to suggest as I now have your aircraft installed and have checked it as well as the default 737-800 and cannot duplicate your light issue. They work fine for me regardless of how I view the aircraft.

Perhaps someone else has a suggestion to offer.

[ttpp]

Thanks for you time anyway :)

I'm trying to remember, but....

Is there a file named "effects" within the aircraft file? If so, then copy and paste this file into the main effects folder within the FSX folder.

I think there's a folder named effects. Open that, then copy and paste the actual file;don't just paste the folder itself..(hope this makes sense)


I had a similar problem with a Posky aircraft awhile back----I wasn't getting the beacon nor strobe lights. After I did the above, it all worked fine.

[ttpp]

I solved the Problem the easy way uninstall FSX and reinstall it :)

Correct!!!....My mistake(long day)..Sorry

[kalen10695]

I have a similar problem. I did everything you said to do and checked the effects folder that came with the package and theres no strobe effect. I have a problem where the nav lights and strobe lights are cooperative meaning when i turn the nav lights on, the strobe lights are turned on. I just hate having my strobes on at gate. i only turn them on during takeoff, flight, and after landing. oh and im referring to the 737-700.
