Vehicle Lights and FG
#1Is there any way to expose a vehicles' lights to FG ? I know there's a node called "light" under vehicle nodes, but it doesn't work (at least in 5.3).
Re: Vehicle Lights and FG
#2I found a partial solution - the "lights" node doesn't display anything in the "light type" field, just linked a SetString node to this input with the text "All" and it does the job; however, I was looking for more control over a certain light, have tried with "FindEntityByName" but couldn't make it work so far (and not very sure how the name should look like, probably something like: "Parent_Part/Light_LightName"??).

Why not link 4x Legacy Entity Lights -> Light to the vehicle?
2x normal lights bulb size 1.13 and radius the same and put them exactly where the lights of the vehicles are.
2x projector lights, ( I tested mine with texture textures/lights/generic/rectangle_half_050.dds Radius 30, Diffuse 60, cast shadow low spec)
