Deactivate new Ext Lights

Hi guys,

I remember, we can deactivate the new Ext Lights by removing the dll entry in the add-on.xml and adding a certain file somewhere in the FMGS folders.

What was that file again and where exactly?
Can I actually leave this file there, even if I want to use the new Ext Lights feature?

Background is, that I have buid a little batch file to toggle between 2 versions of the add-on.xml - one with JL Ext Lights included (for offline flying) and one with JL Lights excluded (for Vatsim compatibility).

Thanks,
Michael

the file is: c:\A320FMGS\FMGS Server\ExtLights.ini
and inside it should as follows:

Code: Select all

[ExtLights]
useOldLights=yes
useNewLights=no

Thanks.

And with that I can leave the addon.xml as is and don't have to delete the Ext lights component, I assume?

Thanks for confirmation.

I just realized, that if you are running JL on a dedicated server pc, the ExtLights.ini file needs to be in the FMGS Server folder of the server pc, not the main sim pc.

Just thought, I share, in case someone else is lokking for this.
