Unless it's already common knowledge, here's a short how-to on how to add an effect to a specific part in a hierarchy. This is especially useful for adding lights to flexing wings or moving parts.
I've successfully managed to attach a nav and strobe light to each flexing wingtip of an aircraft with this procedure, using nothing else but Notepad2 and MCX.
You really need to be comfortable with editing very large text files, finding stuff in MCX' hierarchy editor and, of course, adding effects in the attached object editor. A text editor with syntax highlighting, especially for bracket pairs is almost mandatory.
Well, here it goes...
I have also started implementing the new MCX functionality to move nodes in the hierarchy.
