A fast and simple light improvement for the external lighting of the HJet, such as Strobe lights, beacon and Nav lights, to make it look closer to reality.
By default the Hjet comes with pretty much the default kind of lighting. So those not really impressive looking strobes and beacon lights, that blink for a short period of time.
In real life the Hjet (Honda Jet) has LED lights for Beacon and Strobes. So instead of that short and not good looking blinking lights you will get proper looking LED-Style external lights. The size of the effects has been adjusted as well, so those lights will look slightly "bigger". This is the case for the nav lights (red, green, white) as well.
Although it might not be 100% spot on in comparison to the real life "blinking pattern" (this maybe will come at a later date, if it hasn't been done by the devoper himself) this is still a big improvement all together.
Changelog V1.1:
Lights are volumetric now
Re-adjusted the size of the lights (bigger isn't always better)
Keep in mind though that the effect's coordinates on the aircraft are hardcoded to the model. Therefore I cannot thange their position but the effect file that has been used for it.
Installation is a little different this time around:
Open the downloaded file, go to your "Official" folder (so not the Community folder this time), click on "OneStore", open the "ffx-hjet" folder, go to "effects" and place the downloaded files inside of there by overwriting the existing files. Make sure to make a back-up of the original files in case you wanna switch back to the old effects (for whatever reason that might be...)
Apart from screenshots there's also a showcase youtube video attached, so you can check out what it's all about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbHsmftBdoE
I'm enjoying what you have done with the lighting, within the limits of the light placements. Thanks for a very good mod! There is one thing I am not happy with in the default tail logo lighting - the bright reflection on the shiny paint it annoying, especially during daylight, when it would hardly be seen at all. Is there any way you can reduce its glare, as it is too bright even for night, IMHO. If you can, I would be very happy indeed!

Something isn't right. my landing and taxi lights are now on when I'm not moving and they are doing a slow blink. Is this normal behavior? I feel as though this is incorrect.

That shouldn't be a problem of my mod since it basically just replaces a few digits of existing files.

This was the first thing I did with my own effects once I purchased it haha. Cool to see another aircraft lighting freak such as myself in the community, it sucks that the position is hard coded but what can ya do? This is a great mod!
