How do I add the light cone onto the ground in front of an AI aircraft. I have an animated landing light on the model.
TIA

Re: landing light ground effect
For FS9 John, create a small triangular plane and call it "light_land". Clone that and call it "light_land_01"
Position both planes over the top of each other where the light source is.
Link "light_land_01" to "light_land".
That will give you the light beam. If you need a left and right do the same again and increment the numbers (02 and 03).
Now create another small plane called "c_gear light" and link "light_land" to it.
That will switch the landing lights off when the gear retracts. You can omit this of course, but I think the lights stay on up to 10,000ft.
Let me know if you need the process for FSX. "c-gear light" doesn't work, but you can do it another way.
