SchneiH2 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hi everybody I have started to work on some cockpit lighting based on the tuotrial under http://developer.x-plane.com/?article=airplane-parameterized-light-guide.Settingsof the light as well as for the switch are shown in attached pic. However, it does not work, Perhaps I have some basic misunderstanding on this subject. Although, I assume that it does not play any role I would like to add that as everything is still under construction I did not create so far a LIT-texture for the cockpit. Thank you very much up-front for posible help.Best regardsSHJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchneiH2 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi JimThank you for your reply. No, I am running XP10 (32-bit, just about to upgrade to 64-bit based on the hints out of previous topic regarding Gizmo). I use also the drag_axis_pix-manipulator (one of your recent advices) which works only from XP10 on. Is the basic approach regarding cockpit lighting as shown in my topic correct?Best regards SHJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGregory Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 You should not use a drag axis pix with a toggle switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchneiH2 Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Dear JImThank you for your response. However, I am not sure whether it is related to the cockpit light problem as I use for the switch a simple toggle manipulator. I have mentioned the drag_axis_pix-manipulator in my previous post just to 'proove' that I use XP10 and it works fine (thanks to your earlier explanation on this subject).I am still stuck with the light problem.Best regardsSHJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGregory Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I wasn't clear about what you were referring to with the drag_axis_pix. Taking a quick glance at your pics above, I think you missing a parameter for the light. I believe there should be 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchneiH2 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Dear JimThank you very much for your response. I will check and let you know. Best regardsSHJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchneiH2 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Dear JimFinally, I did it thanks to your help. Indeed, I obviously missed one parameter, I have also noticed that the last parameter (width of cone) obviously must have the value 1. However, this is just the first attempt without playing around with the parameters respectively finetuning them. For interested forum members attached are two screen captures (seetings + result)Thanks again and best regardsSHJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGregory Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I have also noticed that the last parameter (width of cone) obviously must have the value 1That depends on whether you are creating an omni-directional light or a "cone" shaped light.
