Just some observations watching the v2.0 F18s Land version at night after installing into P3Dv5:
1. Are the lights coded into the model? After landing, all lights turned off except for anti-coll and position, taxi light.
2. On the "F" models, the position lights on top of the leading edge extension did not show, but displayed fine on the E models. They show in AIAE.
3. As AI were vectoring around, low power AB fx was pointing vertical out of the exhaust?
4. I'm guessing an airfile adjustment, the models flare/float after passing the touch-down point.

Flew formation off them and liking the flight control animations, gives the AI model some "life". Haven't noticed this in the approach phase.

So while I am still really not in the mood for P3d just yet... As I mentioned in the other thread my family and I are grieving / mourning a very recent loss...

1. The lights are hard coded. I used the previous hard coding from the original conversions; and those were rigged to the recog lights.
2. Looking at the position lights in MCX I can't see any difference between the ones on the F and the E and I did not change them from previous versions.
3. Again not sure would need to see a screen shot and I did not change this effect from previous versions. Not sure if you have an old version of the effect installed. I cross checked this against previous releases and cannot see any difference in MCX. The orientation axis still show the same...
4. No air file adjustments were made to the land based versions as it was not necessary, the adjustments were only necessary for carrier ops...
