This lilttle bird has some AWESOME attention to details. (though I dont think it has navigation lights)

Look at the interior. its photorealistic with seats that look like cloth.

One of the most realistic looking pilots I have seen

Great sound file too.

I recommend. havent tried it at night yet so not sure if the lights are faulty or not. Or maybe I am just not pushing the right button, but if you are a leisure prop junkie like me, by all means enjoy this bird

landing lights and interior dome light/panel lights work but no wing tail fuselage lights do.

Hope someone fixes this Cheesy

exterior lighting is defined in the aircraft.cfg file...should be easy to substitute in some lights and adjust the positions.

As a starting point, use the appropriate section from the FS Piper, another low-wing monoplane:

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit
light.0=3, -9.00, -15.11, 0.05, fx_navred
light.1=3, -9.00, 15.11, 0.05, fx_navgre
light.2=3, -23.30, 0.00, 4.55, fx_navwhi
light.3=2, -16.30, 0.00,-1.65, fx_strobe
light.4=2, -23.30, 0.00, 4.55, fx_strobe
light.5=1, -21.85, 0.00, 5.00, fx_beacon
light.6=4, -8.00, 0.00, 2.15, fx_vclight

For those unfamiliar the numbers are configured as so:

light.0=3,

-9.00

,

-15.11

,

0.05

, fx_navred

Position Forward/Aft of reference (Forward is positive)

Position Left/Right of Reference (Right is positive)

Position Above/Below Reference (above is positive)

At a minimum you will want the first three entries (required Nav lights). I'm not sure about the strobes or the anti-collision beacon. VC light is mostly a matter of taste.

Good shots of a nice looking aircraft.

The Robin & its predecessor the Jodel are also popular in the UK. If anyone is interested this site gives full details of the history of the design.

Thats a great plane. I downloaded the older FS2002 version plus the FS2004 update - only about 6 megs... Wink

.

BTW, if you like that one, you might want to try out the Utva.

Cheers Paul
