Cabin/Panel Lights Tied to Landing Lights?

[Qballbandit]

Hello,

On the Carenado C210 that I enjoy flying, one thing is puzzling to me - the landing light switch, when toggled on/off, also moves the panel lights switch on/off, so both lights go on off together. Undesirable, to say the least.

Is there a value that can be edited to sever the functionality so each is uniquely controlled, or is it coded within the model, and I am screwed?

 

Thanks very much,

The latter, unfortunately.

Someone did figure out what coding to change, and supplied it to Carenado.

As far as I know they have not implemented it.

I'm wondering if a simple panel.cfg edit could fix that since that is where the lights are mapped.

Thanks CRJ_simpilot,

The interesting thing is, I don't see the landing lights listed in the config, unless I am not understanding the coding. According to the link you provided, shouldn't there be a "5" listed, with "9" total lights configured?

Unfortunately, most landing lights are part of the model. They won't show in the [lights] section.

[Qballbandit]

Ok, understood. I won't lose any more sleep over it then. :)

Yeah, in your case if the lights aren't in the panel.cfg, then it a gauge of some sort or part of the model if that's possible. I find it hard to believe it would be the model because those are encrypted and as stated here apparently someone found the code? Even a non standard XML gauge that's a gauge file is encrypted. You just can't deconmpile it.
