I am modifing a Default DC3 to represent a D-Day C-47 and I would like to add the formation lights that ran on top of the wings and fuselage. They were blue and in sets of three on each wing and in front of the dorsal fin. Thanks in advance. Sad

you mean the green "slime lights" as in the following picture.....

look just below the 105 and to the left... the 4 rectangles are the slime lights for night time formations.

of my 6 years flying flight sim, i have never found a texture set of those lights that you can install to a craft. every craft that I have seen them on, they were modeled in to the craft at the designing stage.

now, that does not mean that someone did not make them to where you can put them on a craft, ... it means that "I" have never seen them for download.

Thanks, I have found the fx that will work (apron light.fx3),
The lights used on the C-47 were like small nav lights let into the tops of the wings and fuselage.
What I need to find out now is how to pair-up a switch with the lights.
