You know those headlights that blind you while you drive Grin

.... This is my contribution to the XP community an update to the landing lights. HID lights have a blue hue to them, I have a set on my car. I think I nailed it....what do you think?

You can find them at http://x-plane.org

Why hasn't MS managed to make a landing light like that?

The really cool thing is you can setup the landing light to move using a hat switch, comes in handy when making an approach at night Wink

I got it now. You are a double agent agent secretly trying to turn this whole forum into an X-plane community. Wink

You have me almost convinced to give the sim a shot.

Edit: just noticed i wrote "double agent agent" - that would then be a quadruple angent, I guess.

I've tried the X-plane demo. It seemed pretty good, but the user interface is pretty complicated, and the graphics looked good, but something seemed off. I managed to fly a little, but couldn't get the controls figured out or setup the joystick decently.

Honestly its all default with some freeware add-ons

Have you tried messing with the rendering settings?

Yeah the UI takes some time to get use to, it was an adjustment for me. As far as the controls you can change the linearity in the controls menu for a better feel and you will need to setup all your controls from scratch. Of course I dont think XP will appeal to everybody, personally I have grown fond of it Grin
