split lights

[muffo]

I found the program that I was searching! Yesterday I created a Split light to put into runway 's holding point, a face green and face red, with variable nav1 frequency of 112.00 (1200h, see the photo). When I put the light I see the effect only on top-down view and lateral view, also without the frequency. Why I don't see it on cockpit view? Where is my mistake? The light must work on FSX\P3d 1.4.

Thanks

Andrea, to diagnose your problem, I need your library folder.

I don't know what you mean by "lateral view".

However, there is an issue with your PCL inputs. If you want frequency control, you've got to specify both limits. You have specified only the lower, leaving the upper set to 0. This won't work. Set them both to 1200. (I don't think you want the "h" which stands for hexadecimal). As it is, I'm surprised you see anything at all in the daytime.

I also tried 1200 on both, but not work, for lateral view see upload photo, if I move around the airplane I see the effect. I tried the effect during the night and I see it , I see the red and the green light, my problem is the red light that becomes green on cockpit view, when I pass with my airplane using the frequency.I upload my work with both 1200 ( without h).Thanks for your help

I think I see your problem. Split lights are generally used as threshold lights, and for that, the runway heading is what you want. But, you are using these lights at a hold-short location which is oriented 90 degrees from the runway heading. If you change the heading of the light from 150 to 240, you should see the red light when you approach from the taxiway side and the green from the runway side.

As for frequency, that is for pilot control of lighting. If you have 1200 in both fields and you select the Nav receiver that is tuned to 112.00, those lights will be on during the daytime if the user aircraft is within about 10km of the airport. The lights will always be on at night - unless airport operating hours dictate otherwise.

Thanks for your answer Don. I thought that these lights could be used also on hold short location as the lights that I seen in some pay scenery. I made a mistake!

All AFLT lights can be used anywhere. All you need do in this case is adjust the heading of the light as I suggested.

For hold short lights I use the WigWag lights. They alternately blink...

You should not set airport operating hours unless you want the airport to be "dark" for some period. If the airport is not operating, all lights are off.
