dfw 20 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The VC light map is quite well done but I added some light splash on the panels where illuminated by the gooseneck lights (at 2:10). This adds sense of space when it's pitch dark with the dials lit. I'll upload the texture sheets to the Aerosoft user library. The video shows the EO pod in operation from the back seat, fun stuff. https://youtu.be/w7LG7_ghjw8 Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory103 24 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks kdfw, did you happen make a green or NVG compatible mod as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfw 20 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 in the included readme.txt, i mentioned the option of using the green floodlight fx file from Dino's F14D. thought about a green light option but never found a photo or document showing how it would look. for example, would the lighting scheme resemble the f/a18e where the front panel is illuminated green with red side console lights? i don't know. the f14 photos i've come across shows red bulbs under the rio glareshield so that much i'm sure of.

Victory103 24 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I see it now on your read-me and will do that. Based on the "B" NATOPS there is a NVG FLOOD mod to the lighting panel for both cockpits controlling those lights. I assume the other lights are left off as any small leak of red light is not good on NVGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Polwarth 0 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Excellent work with the night lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaneCaptain 39 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Sooooo.... Can anyone figure out a way to configure both red AND green lights, so that there are both options available via switch in the cockpit? Please login to display this image.

dfw 20 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 there's no way to use a switch to change to green unless the developer adjusts the model. the real thing uses red lighting, only time you'll see green is if you're using NVG. tacpack NVG can be used in that case for fsx in dx9 mode.

PlaneCaptain 39 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Actually I have inquired about this in the Tomcat community, and an ex-aviator said that they changed the instrument lights to green around 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
