FsLabs Lighting Issue

[flightsimguides 0]

Hi chaps I can't get the nigh lighting to work at all - the panel backlights work ok, but the dome and flood lights have absolutely no effect at the moment. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or something up with DX10? The picture attached is with all of the lights, dome, backlight and flood, all selected on. It's pretty dark in there at the mo! DOn't know what more information to give, really.
Cheers,

John

Install SpotLights and it will work.

Sorry Lauri I thought that that was in-built into the sim installation. I will install it and report back if any problems. Thanks for that.

Hello everyone,

Perhaps this question has already been answered. But if i want to turn on the Main panel flood light, nothing happens ?

It literally doesnt do anything ? Could someone help me out on this ?

Did you install FslSpotlight?

Are you running in DX10 ? Did you convert your light effects in the fixer? If installed.

If all is a no please give some more information.

[thom van zanden 0]

No i did not install fslspotlights. And  o i didnt have dx10. Thank.you for helping me out

I have managed to get my A320-X running and I'm currently poking around with systems before running the first tutorial, but only with a clean installation without Spotlights. None of the troubleshooting techniques I've read around here have had any effect on the CTD's I've gotten. Since all I've done so far is just sit there on the tarmac and play with systems, my question is... to what extent is Spotlights necessary?

[Christopher Allan 150]

You will need it to get dome lighting, and for the dimmable downlights throughout the flight deck. It is not a big download, nor is it a burden on your system. I would strongly encourage you to install Spotlights and try it out, you will not be disappointed.

Well, it's just that after several attempts, if Spotlights is installed, FSX is essentially unusuable - noted the issues in this thread incorrectly marked as resolved. I isolated the problem as something to do with maximizing my window but reinstalling the A320-X minus Spotlights doesn't really fully resolve the problem. As noted I've tried some of the troubleshooting in other Spotlights related threads but haven't gotten anywhere. The aircraft loads and runs wonderfully minus Spotlights so there's obviously something inside of it that breaks my sim down.

For some reason my dome lights decided to stop working. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

 

[joseabreu 1]

Yes, change the light bulb ,jk , haven't seen that.

[B_r_u_n_o-R_o_l_o 365]

try re-installing FSL Spotlight .. I ran into the issue in the past and a re-install fixed it for me

Hello guys,

A new issue appeared to me yesterday : The lights.

Here I am talking about the "big lights", those who really highlight the cockpit.

The small white lights around each button work perfectly but the light on the pedestal, the flood light, the main panel lights and the one who higlights the whole cockpit doesn't work..

When I turn the left knob (juste above the PFD) nothing happens too. The same with the flood lights (near the TCAS). Concerning the cockpit lights (button just above the EMER EXIT LT on the overhead) it doesn't work but when I turn the camera above my head I can see the two lights working.. But the effect of the light is not here...

To be short, when flying at night I juste have the lights around each button. All the other lights doesn't work so the cockpit is really really dark. For the cockpit preparation it is a problem...

Thanks for your help

Adrien

Maybe try reinstalling FSL spotlights

[Norman Blackburn 3391]

Certainly sounds that your spotlights are not installed or working correctly.  Did  you install them?

[Adrien Peraldo 0]

Oh guys thank you.

After uninstalling FsLab and reinstalling it I totally forgot to reinstall spotlight.

Now it's done?

Thank you

[Aaron Brand 44]

You don't need to reinstall spotlights though.....

Hello i am having several problems with the fslabs a320:

1º When i want to swich on the dome lights of the cockpit nothing changes its stills as dark as before or even the lights that iluminate the panels of the  cockpit, in conclusion im not having any light in the cockpit.

 

2º When im in an aerosoft airport and i wanna atach the jetway AES wont do anything, it sais "set parking brakes" and im having the parking brakes set but nothing happens it ike it doesn't localize the parking prake.

 

I PLEASE ASK FOR HELP.  THANKS

[adamant365 39]

1. Is the aircraft powered up? I think you need at least batteries to get dome lights. 

2. Pretty sure AES won't recognize the FSL parking brake. There was a thread on this. Is there a way to "force" AES to move the bridge? I know in a previous thread it was recommended to "end" a pushback for the same reason. 

[pepo paramo 0]

yes the bateries were perfectly charge, but no dome lights or table light. 

[Alan Chadwick 17]

2. AES version 2.43 is available with a workaround to deal with the parking brake issue.

[pepo paramo 0]

I would prefer to repair the lights issue because at night while im flying i cannot see the cockpit correctly.

[Mike Roth 5]

1) Do you have FSLSpotlights installed? You need it in order for the cockpit lighting to work.

[pepo paramo 0]

no how can i get it?

[Mike Roth 5]

The downloads link at the top of the forum will get you there, but here's a link.

 

[pepo paramo 0]

does it works with directx 9? because im not able to fly with directx10

[pepo paramo 0]

no lights keep on. Im ataching some pictures so you can better see what i refer to. As you can see the lights are on but theres no iluminate cockpit or panels.

[adamant365 39]

It does work with DX9. I can't run DX10 either. 

[pepo paramo 0]

And do your lights work? Please i need help with mine.

[adamant365 39]

Yes they do. After you installed Spotlights, did you get the prompt from FSX to add the .dll as "trusted?"

[pepo paramo 0]

no

[pepo paramo 0]

now yes i get the asked window for adding the dll. ill let you now if it works in a moment.

[pepo paramo 0]

NOW WORKS THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP GUYS!!!  

[Rene Grothmann 9]

Why is the dome light not working? Do I need to purchase your separate Spotlight program? 

[B_r_u_n_o-R_o_l_o 365]

, just download and install  It will work with the FSL A320

 

[Patrick Kazmierczak 26]

No need to purchase it, just install it and the 'bus will use it. 

[Calbyy 0]

hi guys, if i fly the A320 at night y cockpit lights are not working, well there's no light is dark, i don't have spotlight, is it mandatory to buy it if you wanna fly a night ?

[Norman Blackburn 3391]

Download spotlights.  It is free for use with all FSL aircraft and is used by the A32x.

[Safak Cayli 11]

Hi 

I have just finished my first night flight. But I had light problem. Dome light and flood light not working. 

Fsl spotlight not installed on my pc.

What could be reason for that ?

Şafak Cayli

[Bryan Richards 113]

Hi,  you need fsl spotlight installed. Is there a reason why you haven't installed it? 

[Andrea Bianchini 71]

Spotlight not installed....

[Bryan Richards 113]

You must install it and try again. You do not need to purchase it if you don't want to, just download it and run the installer. 

[Randall Smith 23]

I was an Early Adoptor and am just seeing that there is an updated version released when the general public was able to purchase.

Do I need to reinstall FS Spotlights as well as he Resourse and Binary files.

 

Thanks

[L'a^ûri S'i*v(uoj)=a 216]

To update spotlights:

1) Uninstall previous SpotLights version
2) Install new SpotLights  version
3) Done

 

[Timmy 496]

If you have the latest spotlights version then you don't need todo anything.
