Does anyone use 3D shockwave lights, I love em but trying to change the config. file for 3rd party seems a bit beyond my skill level. If so, can someone send me a copy of the config settings for the Delta 737-800WL NNC (2007) model

Yeah, thats what I have in the instructions too that came with it. Thats the problem, it just tells you without an example.

Oh! There's a guide somewhere on their site (I remember referencing anytime I did it). Will hunt it down for you.

I used them both in FS9 and FSX and switched back to normal cfg. They looks terrific when you are outside the plane, but for some reason, did not throw the proper amount of light onto the ground from the cockpit perspective (which in my view is a bit more useful). That said, it might have been something I did, but I also used the guides provided in the A2A forums. Some contributor have placed example cfg files in there already for various planes which will help save you hours trying to cross traingulate your light positions.

Well, I tried to follow the instructions on the link and it came up with, that flightsimx/aircraft/dva737-800 etc.... is not a valid file name
Point is I cant save any changes to the DVA aircraft without doing some further mods, which the instructions don't tell me how to do.
I should just get an acceleration pack with delta on it and let the program automatically install them as it does for default acft. The only ones you have to manually manipulate are 3rd party planes.
