there are two items that can be implemented to improve the overall visual experience of the a346:
1) get rid of the beacon effect baked into the model. use the plain .fx based beacons so that they do not suffer from LOD culling. also, normal .fx effects allows beacon effects to be easily projected onto the wings.
2) assign potentiometers to the LCD panels and integral lighting brightness knobs so that cockpit ambient lighting can be affected by those light emitters.
now, the lighting of the initial release got a lot of negative reviews so i uploaded a lighting mod that addressed most of the issues (except #2 above):
Flightsim.to
Aerosoft/Toliss A346 Light Mod - MSFS Add-on - Flightsim.to
✓ For Microsoft Flight Simulator: This add-on modifies the lighting for the Aerosoft and Toliss Airbus A340-600 in Microsoft Flight Simulator. It improves flood, cockpit, and beacon lights as well as
aerosoft is free to take what's in the mod to improve the product, as i do not wish to maintain the mod iteration after iteration.
