Because I can not guarantee that this will work on every PC, this is an unofficial fix, if it works, good for you, if not, just remove it.

Before changing anything, make a backup of the files you need to change first !

If you have no dome light in the VC, download the attached file, unzip it and put the file CLS_Boeing_vclight.fx in your effects folder which can be found in the main FSX installation folder.

To make this light work, you need to edit the aircraft.cfg of each CLS 767, look for the [LIGHTS] section

for the 762, the section needs to look like this, please make sure that you change it exactly as shown here:

//-------------------------------------------------

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing 6=taxi, 7=recognition, 8=wing, 9=logo
light.1 = 1, 42.000, 0.000, 9.800, CLS_beacon, // top beacon
light.2 = 1, 12.500, 0.000, -8.700, CLS_beacon, // bottom beacon
light.3 = 4, 73.500, 0.000, 3.000, CLS_Boeing_vclight, // Boeing Orange
//light.4 = 6, 70.000, 0.000, -8.350, CLS_taxi_light, // gear bay taxi light rays from taxi lights
light.5 = 9, 42.350, 8.350, -0.250, CLS_nav_yellow , // flap inspection light
light.6 = 9, 42.350, -8.350, -0.250, CLS_nav_yellow , // flap inspection light
light.7 = 9, 29.000, -22.000, -2.000, CLS_nacelle_refl, // wing/LE slat rays from inspection lights
light.8 = 9, 29.000, 22.000, -2.000, CLS_nacelle_refl, // wing/LE slat rays from inspection lights
light.9 = 9, 18.000, -38.000, 4.000, CLS_nacelle_refl, // wing/LE slat rays from inspection lights
light.10= 9, 18.000, 38.000, 4.000, CLS_nacelle_refl, // wing/LE slat rays from inspection lights

//-------------------------------------------------

and for the 763 it needs to look like this:

//-------------------------------------------------

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing 6=taxi, 7=recognition, 8=wing, 9=logo
light.1 = 1, 48.500, 0.000, 9.800, CLS_beacon, // top beacon
light.2 = 1, 12.500, 0.000, -8.700, CLS_beacon, // bottom beacon
light.3 = 4, 83.000, 0.000, 3.000, CLS_Boeing_vclight, // Boeing Orange
//light.4 = 6, 80.000, 0.000, -8.350, CLS_taxi_light, // gear bay taxi light rays from taxi lights
light.5 = 9, 42.350, 8.350, -0.250, CLS_nav_yellow , // flap inspection light
light.6 = 9, 42.350, -8.350, -0.250, CLS_nav_yellow , // flap inspection light
light.7 = 9, 29.000, -22.000, -2.000, CLS_nacelle_refl, // wing/LE slat rays from inspection lights
light.8 = 9, 29.000, 22.000, -2.000, CLS_nacelle_refl, // wing/LE slat rays from inspection lights
light.9 = 9, 18.000, -38.000, 4.000, CLS_nacelle_refl, // wing/LE slat rays from inspection lights
light.10= 9, 18.000, 38.000, 4.000, CLS_nacelle_refl, // wing/LE slat rays from inspection lights

Additionally if you have no instruments lighting, remove the files

vc_01_l.bmp
vc_02_l.bmp
vc_03_l.bmp

from the corresponding repaint folder.

Hi
After trying the fix which was unsuccesful and reading the other posts about this problem, i am just about ready to give up. The problems i am haveing are all the symptoms that the others have posted, cockpit lights controlled by the landing light switch, areas of the panel in complete darkness, no back lighting behind any of my gauges while in vc mode. I love flying the plane in day time but it realy lets its self down come dark. Will these issues be fixed by a further patch. I am only using the FS9 model on windows 7, ASUS 480 GTX,i7 920 and 12 gig om RAM. Please, can some help.

Kind Regards Shaun

I'm having the same problems. . . . no solution as of yet. . . though I just bought the plane and installed it with no issues so I don't know what's going on with it.

will be finally fixed in the next service pack which is not far away

in the mean time, look into the corresponding rapint folder you have problems with and remove the files

move them to somewhere else or rename them)

vc_01_l.bmp
vc_02_l.bmp
vc_03_l.bmp

Cool. I got the problem fixed with the SP's from Just Flight. Taking off and landing is a bit tricky sometimes though, but you have to adjust your pitch to 4 degrees and it'll work out perfectly fine.


Thanks a bunch though!
