landing light window mod

[flying_drunkard]

so, the landing lights are on at night at 10k ft and there's no telling it's on by looking at the wing from the cockpit...

this super simple mod illuminates the landing light window as you would see in the real thing.

the other mod is to increase the landing light beam intensity/range with another .fx file. one can use it in combination with this mod.

@Voice-of-Reason
the uploader of this tweak file indicated in the readme.txt if the bs tbm dev could include this or any similar tweak for the external lighting effects in the upcoming patch.

From the Black Square developer...

'Thank you for posting this. I have made my own version of this feature and incorporated it in the product. This was a great suggestion.'

Hope that helps.
