A2A Shockwave Lights

[Boeing Skunk Works]

I finally got around to purchasing this external lighting add-on and I have to say it's worth the $14 bucks. The lighting has taken on a life of it's own and actually looks like you are seeing real lights outside of the cockpit. The external aircraft lighting has been improved as well

Combined with UT Europe with all of the extra ground lighting that they include, it's quite a view out the windows now.

The reason I waited so long was that taxi and landing lights do not appear in the 2D Dreamfleet 727 cockpit view out the front glass, only in the VC view. Since re-loading the DF727 some time ago, I had forgotten how to remove the VC cockpit so only the external view is displayed.

Today I remembered how I removed the VC and it looks great again looking out the forward view at night. Whole new sim experience really.

Well, if you don't have it yet, the add-on is certainly worth it and it works with all third party aircraft. You do have to manually configure it for third party, but that's a snap.

Yeah I'd have to agree, it's defiantly worth it.

I still haven't added them to my add on aircraft though...

Are you running REX for FS9? I have that and THAT dramatically improved my sim to where between it and the bloom effect (and Ultimate Terrain/Ground Environment, etc. for FS9) make my sim nearly look like FSX. However, my real question is, do you have REX for FS9 and would you say that the A2A lights are better than REX's?

I must not have it since I don't know what it is. I really like the Shockwave lights though.

I ordered the disc too since I'll be installing this on three more systems.
