I usually fly during the day so I'm only noticing this now Roll Eyes. A few weeks ago I installed arrcabs (Found an old copy hiding in my computer Grin), I tried a deck landing at night but the carriers lights flickered on and off making a landing imposible. Today I tried a dusk flight and noticed that all the lights do this now ???, with the exeption of those on my own aircraft.
Does anyone kow what could be wrong or how to fix this?

Craig are you flying from the VC or the 2d cockpit. In the 2d cockpit this doesn't happen, but in the VC its quite common!
No idea why Tongue

Craig is this happening with a default or add-on carrier?

I wonder if its ethical to distribute a freeware program to your friends after the publisher re-releases it as payware?  lol

Won't help me, because I don't fly onto carriers (I've got my limits!) but it brings up an excellent moral debate, wouldn't you say? Wink

High=2000

[Emit Rate]
Low=0.300000
High=0.300000

[Detail]
Forced Distance=250

[Emitter Detail Modifer]
Medium=0.700000
Far=0.500000
Very Far=0.000000

[Emitter Detail Distance]

simular probs was caused by a rain/snow addon I installed all the strob lights went wild so this maybe whats causing the probs
Hope this helps

Yes, I think it is ethical.

No, I think it's not.  If the author has designated the software payware then the ethical thing is to follow the law, and pay.  This (free distribution) would be theft.

It's a shame because I never got around to downloading it and have therefore missed out forever.  Sharing payware software is not recommended (spelling??) as a discussion point on this forum.

ahem....
It was downloaded when it was free, but I couldn't get it to work. Whilst cleaning out my comp I found it here:
C:\unzipped , so it aint a pirate copy  Wink

Thanks MaV I've made a couple of changes to it, now I'm off to see if it works  8)

I agree, that payware software shouldn't be distributed (even by the manufacturer....cough cough)

But if the program was downloaded when it WAS freeware, can it be distributed as such?  After all, the EULA would state that the program is freeware.  lol

Its a very interesting predicament, to say the least.

Well, my point is if you download the program when it was a freeware, then the program is made a payware, why can't the freeware version be distributed <freely, of course> without it being ethical?

because the designer wanted it remved frome all freeware sites so that people would buy FD3, if Arrcab was still free who would buy FD3?

This is precisely my point!  I'm not advocating it, mind you.  I'm merely putting it out there as a topic for discussion.

Well, at last we agree on some point! Anyway, I don't know why you try to balance both the sides. Take one side, and stand by it - that is what I am advocating!
