Airbus A321: Shockwave-lights configuration

Post by Glocke » 22 Apr 2011, 09:54

To see carefully designed Shockwave-lights configurations of the new PA Airbus A321 and other Project Airbus-models please visit this overview at the A2A-Simulation-forum.

Enjoy!

Let me start out by saying thanks for your efforts. I changed my cfg's per your download.

I am a little frustrated and need help.

I am using the default 321 VC panel with the wide screen textures. When I take off the taxi lights do not turn off; and the landing lights have a black dot in the middle. Also the runway does not light up as with Shockwave lights on all my other aircraft. Is the lack of lighting the runway something that goes with the Project Airbus 321? Have tried changing the CFG in the panel various ways with no luck on the taxi lights going out.

Dear mbell,
Please check, if at the bottom of the [VCockpit01]-section of the default A321-panel.cfg the following lines are entered. Don't forget to change 'XX' and 'XX+1' to the next available line numbers. I guess these numbers are 16 and 17, correct?
gaugeXX=shockwave_lights!SW Lights, 1,1,1,1 //shockwave light
gaugeXX+1=shockwave_lights!SW Lights_taxi_gear, 1,1,1,1 //shockwave light
Does it work now?
Best, Glocke

Glocke,
I rechecked, and the taxi lights do not go out. Also the landing lights are still with a black dot and do not light up the runway. I reinstalled Project Airbus light config and the lights do go out.

I have FSX and I am going to try just one line in the panel CFG to see if it makes a difference.

gauge15=shockwave_lights!SW Lights_taxi_gear, 1,1,1,1 //shockwave light

Glocke,
I tweeked your setttings a little and it seems to work fine now.
I removed _down on the landing lights and it seems brighter on my computer. The landing lights under the wings stay on. Everything else turns off. I read that some airlines leave the landing lights on up to 10,000 ft. and then turn off.
I left the PAland and logo.
Again Thanks for your great work!

Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing 6=taxi
light.0 = 3, -77.90, -0.15, 4.80, fx_shockwave_navwhi_l
light.1 = 2, -77.90, 0.15, 4.80, fx_shockwave_strobe_l
light.2 = 1, 6.80, 0.00, -5.70, fx_shockwave_beaconb
light.3 = 1, 3.83, 0.00, 8.47, fx_shockwave_beaconh
light.4 = 4, 58.00, 0.00, 3.50, fx_vclighth
light.5 = 5, 0.50, 7.00, -3.75, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow
light.6 = 5, 0.50, -7.00, -3.75, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow
light.7 = 6, 51.50, 0.00, -6.00, fx_shockwave_landing_light_a321_nose
light.8=5, 11.57, -10.48, -5.91, fx_PAland
light.9=5, 11.57, 10.48, -5.91, fx_PAland
light.10=9, -67.88, 8.99, 18.45, fx_pa380logo
light.11=9, -67.88, -8.99, 18.45, fx_pa380logo

In The A321 wide panel cfg I put this:

gauge15=shockwave_lights!SW Lights_taxi_gear, 1,1,1,1 //shockwave light

mbell,
You indeed gave me the important hint that I forgot the light-lines 8-11 in the A321-FSX-config. Thanks for this, I added them immediately to my download. However, I want the stick to the landing lights beaming slightly downwards.

Yes, the landing lights stay on until you turn them off.

Many happy landings!
Glocke
