That would be a brilliant solution because then you could just add some emmisive white and red and 'bingo' you've switched the panel lights on :-) The other ways I've looked at are using extra polys + textures to switch between emmissive levels but the polycounts get nightmareish (My instruments are already quite poly heavy but they do look nice ;) ) (says prayers for an understanding developer ;-) ) Dave Martin _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
