This might not be possiable it depends upon how the program was writen. If it gives you the option to select the files to update then it could be done.
There might be one way to do this but it will be tricky and even then it might not work but what you could try would be to first move all of your default aircraft out of FS then make a back up copy of the other aircraft folders outside of FS as well. Then rename the folders of the remaining aircraft to the same names as the default aircraft folders. This just might fool the program and make the changes but like I said it could cause problems as well. But if the program is looking for certain named folders this just might work. Cool

I don't have this payware add-on but 10 seconds and Google found this: Shockwave Community Forum-Shockwave 3D Lights Wink

This is a lovely payware add-on and yes it does only install into the default aircraft.

The forums mentioned above is full of information about how to edit the aircraft.cfg's to accomodate adding lights to add-on aircraft.

If a specific plane is not mentioned, just ask there most likely someone will give you the light "line" required in the aircraft.cfg file.
