Hi Barry ,
The first step I guess would be to ask the author of the Bravo (me) ;)
It sounds like you have an older (or broken ) version ... is this from CVS ?
Work on the Bravo slowed down because I haven't found an acceptable way to do
the Primus displays .. to display FMS or Nav text info I have to combine 2d and
3d methods ...
But it's a long way from finished (to my satisfaction) .
I would prefer my aircraft not be modified and commited without me knowing
about it , and that probably goes for anyone else's aircraft ....
But that said , I'd be happy to have some help and ideas.
At the moment , it has no cabin or cockpit lighting , but the best way to do
that would be a <material> animation in the /Models/Bravo.xml file
Landing lights cant light up the runway yet , but sound like some have had some
success with the OSG version ... sort of
The red and green nav lights dont blink .... at least Ive never read any
documentation confirming that , and none of the aircraft that fly over here
do...
It has a red tail beacon .... I havent seen any photos of one with a belly
beacon ... so I cant confirm that one ...
All my information for the Bravo comes from the Bravo Training Manual , and the
Pri mus1000 manual , and I'm very picky about accuracy ... if the real aircraft
doesn't have it , then the FG version certainly doesnt ....
This probably isn't very helpful , but if you want to experiment you should
get the CVS version , its a bit more up to date , (and still needs tons of
work).
It has the light switches working , an engine startup tutorial , etc ,
Contact me if you have further questions , I'll help any way I can .
Cheers
P.S. and I hope I didn't discourage you , I just dont like surprises ;)
