RNLE2 FAQ

• Q: It is too hard to install all of these Lights, can you create an auto installer?
• A: Unfortunately no there is no way to do this. Because I don’t know which of these aircrafts are in your PC and did you edit them before or not.

 

 

 

• Q: Why I can not see this effect on my aircraft?
• A: first make sure you have send RNLE2.fx file to your main effects folder. Then check your aircraft.cfg and look for possible errors. If they were all O.K then you should check your Graphic card. It’s multi texturing must be activated. …..and finally if all of these were right go to Options>settings>Display>Hardware>Hardware Lighting Effect  and use maximum setting(8)

 

 

 

• Q: When will you release orders for more aircrafts?
• A: Never!, Because as I wrote on Readme file this is my last release and I am retired at the moment !. But other peoples can add it to any aircraft witch they like. even you can do this for yourself.

 

 

 

• Q: How?!
• A: Very simple, here is the way how I did it myself:

There are many points in your Aircraft.cfg witch you can use as your reference points.

For wing lights I always look at main gears. i add a simple light effect such as green light and try to realize a position between gears and fuselage. it doesn’t need to be the exact point because your nav light effect size is about 1 unit, but lighting effect is larger than one (it is 3~4).

 

After adding these new points, I refresh my aircraft on FS and look for the position witch I realized. I do this until I find the best position.

 

Then I replace nav light effect with RNLE2 and again look in FS for final positioning.

 

So you see it is as easiest as you can imagine. It just needs some time and patience.

 

Here is the references witch I always use:

For wing/fuselage/engines lights I use main gears or engines (depends on aircraft type) as reference.

For nose light I use VC light or nose gear as my reference

For logo light I use rear scrap point.

 

 

 

·         Q: I’m using some of these aircrafts as AI traffic. Effect is working fine when I use those aircrafts (like Mike Stone 727) , but I can not see this effect on my AI. How can I fix this?

·         A: I have no idea !. I try every trick I know to solve this problem. I even linked this effect to AI nav light/strobes/beacon but it doesn’t work at all. I also noticed that all other types of reflective lights such as beacons will not work on AI. So I believe it must be a bug.

 

 

 

·         Q: My nose light is still on when gears are up and it is not realistic. Is there anyway to fix this?

·         A: Yes. Your nose light in RNLE2 is linked to your aircrafts taxi light. But there is no way to assign a key for taxi light with FS itself. the only way is to assign a key with FSUIPC or use any taxi light gauge to turn control it.

 

 

 

·         Q: When should I use this light effect?! ( believe or not someone asked me this question before!!!)

·         A: it depend on your situation ( Weather , Time, you Altitude ,…..).
