How to adjust ditch light flash rates

Unread postby Angelo » Mon Aug 10, 2015 11:24 am

Hey guys, there was talk in another thread (Metra Racetrack) about the ditchlights flashing pretty darn quick. I tend to agree, and this issue is present on most other passenger addons as well. The surfliner being one of them.

People were suggesting that you could edit the flash rates in a config file somewhere? I am wondering which file that is and whereabouts in that file?

Can the light fade in and out also vs just on and off, now that would be really slick!

They are scripted in the enginescript.out file.
Without access to the source code, you cannot edit them.

You could try binary hacking on the .out file, but that will be hit and miss. Mostly misses I assume, as any variable to the flashing rate will be in binary.

That sounds out of my league unfortunately, I know how to edit convert and alias sounds. But this is unexplored territory.
