I just noticed that the recent electrical updates to the kt170.xml submitted by Ron Jenson make the kt70 bright white if the instrument light are turned on in the pa24-250 and the pa28-161. This is because the material animation factor should be between 0 and 1 and this change makes it equal to the output voltage from the buss (usually either 14 or 28 volts in most light AC). <factor-prop>systems/electrical/outputs/instrument-lights</factor-prop> This saturates the material red, green, blue values.
Several of the aircraft are expecting this to be controlled by <factor-prop>systems/electrical/outputs/instrument-lights</factor-prop> since they are assuming a rotating dimmer controls the intensity, not the bus voltage turned on by the switch. Many other objects in Instruments-3d have a material animation tied to <factor-prop>systems/electrical/outputs/instrument-lights</factor-prop> to simulate variable instrument light intensity. Ron, is there a reason this needed to be changed for the kt70? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
