Phantom light (Read 328 times)

I am in the process of building a Bristol Bulldog and im at 99% complete. I have a phantom light
that is above the left wing nav light and is not a part nor is it in the aircraft config file. I have the
lights named and they are not in the config but still burn but that is not the trouble. The trouble is
this phantom nav light that is just there. Has anyone else had this happen and if so how did you
correct it?

Thanks guys
Chris

Kickass aircraft!

Why don't you post the entire [Lights] and [Smokesystem] portions of the aircraft config?  I'll bet money that's where the problem lies.

Thanks Locke
I dont know what was going on but I got it fixed. I just took out the lights entry in the config and now the phantom light is gone and the lights are working great.
Thanks for your responce.

Maybe you can help me with another problem. The tail is sitting to high and I've tried to change the settings in the points section but it wont move, any ideas?

Looks like there are too many entrys.  Check it against the AircraftContainerSDKFS2004.doc. This should work.

point.0= 1, -12.000, 0.000, -2.995, 1181.102, 0.000, 0.519, 0.000, 0.342, 2.500, 0.655, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000

I wonder about the last two entrys too (scrape points)? Seem way off for the size of the aircraft.

Like Firestriker said, I would very much recommend that you remove the last two, since they would be way far ahead of the aircraft, and way far behind.

Thanks Locke and Firestricker for your help, I still cant get that tail to lower at all. I have tried everything I know and what you have said but no luck. I'm just going to let it go the way it is and hope everyone will just look over the problem, besides......its free....lol

NCGent,
You may have to adjust the Pitch as well,sometimes you have to adjust the pitch,contact points and COG.
Goodluck!
