Flight Deck Illumination

[ctmcewan]

Hello,

I apologise to bother your team again but I have a new problem, none of the cockpit lights will illuminatein Darl/Dusk or Dawn, also I doubt they are working in day time can you help please I tried starting the A/C in dark but still cannot get ANY light switch to illuminate.

Best Regards

I think you will need to update your P3D. The latest RealLight uses API calls found only in P3D v4.4 and up.

Hi,

Oh------ you know I reported a Reallite initialisation error a few days ago, i looked for the 0.bmp files but found none, i have two other MILVIZ A/C and lights in flight deck work fine.

Would finding them 0.bmp files fix the issue?

Charlie

[JonathanBleeker]

Nope. A 0.bmp isn't a problem. A mix of numeric and non numeric file names is.

[ctmcewan]

Yes sorry I meant the files you mention would deleting them files fix my flt deck illumination issues, like I say flt deck lites work in the other MILVIZ A/C i have, can you just reiterates where I find those A mix of numeric and non numeric file names is.

Would deleting the reallight files /softwear help sort flight deck illumination?

Long outdated. You will find the RealLight texture folders in your P3D directory\SimObjects\Airplanes\MV Boeing 737-200\RealLight\textures folder.

Will this make the interior lightes work

[JonathanBleeker]

It will solve the error you are getting, but to get the lights actually working you should upgrade your P3D to v4.5

[ctmcewan]

No I cannot do that to much trouble reloading my add ons and configuration etc etc

[JonathanBleeker]

You don't need to. You can backup your control configurations by exporting them from the controls menu, where you can also import them back, then uninstall the client and content (won't touch your addons) and scenery (also won't touch your addons) one at a time from Windows Control Panel->Programs and Features. Then reinstall and everything will remain as it was. LM have deliberately designed P3D to do this since v4.0

[ctmcewan]

Well I took your advice and upgraded to P3D v 4.5

It has made no difference no illumination in the cockpit- what now?

Do you have any thumbs.db files in your RealLight textures folder? If so, please delete them.

[JonathanBleeker]

Screenshots of your RealLight texture folders please
