LIGHTS ANIMATOR
===============

The following is an example of part of the code used to create this effect. It can be found at the very end of the PILATUS.AMP file.

Together with the multiple bulb definitions (L000 thru L060) found at the beginning of the file, and the external lights defined in the PILATUS.ELT file, it is now possible to have a light mounted on the nose gear that pivots with the gear. The subsystem has the flexibility to move the light with any axis and it also detects when the nose gear is off the ground so that it centers the light. This can also be used with a rudder, like in the Seneca or any other movable part. The only tricky part is defining the orientation and position of the light as it pivots. On request, we can provide you with additional files and formulas that will help you determine this.

We have included two templates (ELT.DOC and AMP.DOC) and the data file (ELT.XLS) of the documents that we used to create the multiple entries in the ELT and the AMP files.


INSTALLATION
============

If you have any custom fixes to the PILATUS.AMP and/or PILATUS.ELT files in your \world folder, you may want to make a backup of these files prior to installing this package.

Simply copy the world and modules folders to your Fly! II root folder. It will automatically place the following files:

F2FD_WHEEL_ROTATION_v2.0.dll in your modules\pc folder
PILATUS.AMP in your \world folder
PILATUS.ELT in your \World folder

To uninstall, simply delete the above mentioned files.
