The C172P model now has fixed navigation lights and a flashing red beacon on the tail. The beacon is on by default and the nav lights are off. Here's a screenshot of a long final approach to CYOW 07 at night:
http://www.megginson.com/flightsim/night-approach.png (It's more dramatic when you actually see the beacon flashing.) You can control both lighting systems using properties: /controls/lights/beacon /controls/lights/navigation The beacon uses a new timed animation that switches among objects at a selected framerate (duration-sec): <animation> <name>BeaconFlasher</name> <type>timed</type> <object-name>BeaconOff</object-name> <object-name>BeaconOn</object-name> <duration-sec>1.0</duration-sec> </animation> I created two versions of each light, one with emission enabled and one with emission disabled. The nav light animations look like this: <animation> <type>select</type> <object-name>LeftNavLightOn</object-name> <object-name>RightNavLightOn</object-name> <condition> <property>/controls/lights/navigation</property> </condition> </animation> <animation> <type>select</type> <object-name>LeftNavLightOff</object-name> <object-name>RightNavLightOff</object-name> <condition> <not> <property>/controls/lights/navigation</property> </not> </condition> </animation> I'll have to tweak this a bit for strobes, but it shouldn't be too hard.
