I've got 2 Leds in the cockpit, one is LED182 (redline) and is working. One is LEDLF (low fuel) and it never light. If I change the material to LED165 for example, Led is working. Any idea? Is there something to add in the cockpitinfo.ini for LEDLF?
I would recommend to use a specific syntax for the leds of each car, to avoid any conflicts, caused by same material names. For example add the line WARNINGLED=XYZLED (XYZ= placeholder) into the cockpitinfo.ini and use that for the material name of your car. For the low fuel it would be XYZLEDLF then. And i would also use that scheme for the rpmled (for example RPMLED=XYZRPM)
Thank you for your advice. I've made the changes as you said but there is still the same problem. The texture is a dds, maybe it's incompatible with a blinking led. I'll try with a tga format.
on that note, while trying to add a DRS light recently, eventually I read somewhere on these forums that the DRS light needs to be dds, and tga won't work for it. And DDS did then work for DRS
It works with a dds too. If you want, you can zip and upload the led and the textures that you use and send it to me by pm. I will check if it works here then.
Solution (given by Bernd in PM): Those LEDs have to be putted in the cockpit instance in GEN file. For LED165 till LED182, it's not mandatory to put them in cockpit instance.
I want to add, that it also works in the steering wheel instance. But to use it there, makes only sense when it's integrated into the steering wheel.
