Passengers windows lights stupid question ???

[david]

Bonjour from France,

I have a lot of classics proliners I'm currently using, and I have a stupid question:

_ The L1649A and B377 Pan Am windows lights are switch on with the landing lights switch.

_ On a B377 from the virtual airline "Tradewind", the passengers windows lights are switched on with the panel light switch.

Is there a possibility to use with all the planes the panel light switch and not the landing lights one

Hi,

Yes, but you have to edit the _L textures. If you make the alpha channel of the _L textures black, they will be controlled by the panel lights. If the alpha channel is white (the default), they are controlled by the landing lights. Ideally you should make the relevant parts of the textures' alpha channel black (i.e. the passenger windows and such), and leave the area for the landing light splashes, etc. white. You would need DXTBmp from MWGraphics (or imagetool from MS) to edit these textures, along with a paint program.

Hope this helps,

In the case of the Starliner you might try the modified fuse_l.bmp that comes with the AI version uploaded recently (see Starliner thread).
