i think we can expect a new version when they release their products for v5.

[Lefteris Kalamaras]

Yep - it's planned, however due to the switch to DX12, there is no front end User Interface to control the lights in-sim at the moment. As such, the first version will only support the A320-X family for now. We're working on many things simultaneously at this time so this has to wait a little bit longer...

So I noticed there is no icon in P3D cockpit once spotlight is loaded? will there be a fix for this?

It is explained there.

[Manuel Zarate]

So can this be used at all? Is the the missing UI only for creating/editing new presets or theres no UI for switching on/off preconfigured lights either?

[Lefteris Kalamaras]

For now, we don't support an in-sim User Window to control the lights as the underlying technology changed (from DX11 in P3Dv4 to DX12 in P3Dv5) and thus requires extensive rework to add something similar.

It's a matter of time / developer resource allocations unfortunately.

Sorry, so from what I read there isn't a manager to manage them Spotlights in P3Dv5 right?

Thanks

Not within sim.  There is outside of the sim though.

Non all'interno di sim. C'è al di fuori della sim però.

I have installed it, but I cannot find it. There is none in the folder. Obviously it is installed outside the simulator folder.

For me, it's here: C:\Program Files\FlightSimLabs\FSLSpotLights_P3Dv5\Manager\FSLSpotLightManager_P3Dv5.exe

It can also be run from the start menu 

[Norman Blackburn]

Looks like this when run.

Thank you, in fact I went to the folder and could not find it.

I was able to find the Manager and modify what I needed, but despite having saved the operation on the next reboot everything is as before the changes were not saved.

Fslabs has preset the colors for the airbuses in regards to spotlights.

Fslabs ha preimpostato i colori degli airbus per quanto riguarda i riflettori.

So I can't change the colors of the lights and save for the next reboot?

Yes you can for any aircraft APART from FSLabs ones.
