Awesome! Thanks.
Thatās the plan. Iāve been sick for 10 days, so I wasnāt able to continue, now I donāt have time, so it will be at least another 10 days until I can push an update.
Iāll have to check the mod linked by @BigCow74, to see if it can replace the current lighting

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Hope youāre feeling better now though.
Actually the mod posted by @BigCow74 looks pretty good. Admittedly it wasnāt completely dark when I took off this morning but the lights seemed to illuminate the apron and runway nicely. I only copied in the āz-Newlight-effects-Light(essential)ā folder. Not everything.

Hi @luka18697
I was playing around today to try and make this work, and I succeeded although it makes no sense to me at all:
As you can see the two GTCs are working, and it is using the mod (pilots visible).

I think something somewhere must be wired up incorrectly somewhere else to have this effect. (Note I have tried many different things, and I can consistently make them not work (aka black) by reverting this. I also tried setting it to something like foo but that makes the PFD screens pink, so this does seem to refer to the PFD screens, and not the GTCs. So I have no idea why this makes it work, PFD_Screen_L is the name of a commented out entry in panel.cfg.
(Note this is the first time I tried playing around with the MSFS aircraft files, so I basically have no idea what I am doing)
Anyways, I really hope this helps, Iām trying to poke around more but itāll take me a long time to unwrap and understand how it all works together so Iām hoping this will give you a good hint to save some time.
PS: I hope you are getting better.

Thank you, Iāll implement it in the mod in next couple of days, once I have time again (holidays), though it seems to me that Asobo will change this again in the next updates.
Iām okay now, just had a lengthy flu

Ok, this works, but now I canāt hide the yokes. Do you have the same problem? Itās just that little change, if I revert back to the original the yokes work as normal.
There has to be something wrong in the original airplane, you touch something and something completely unrelated breaks. I say lets wait for an update before going further
Yes I noticed that, but I wasnāt sure if itās because of this change as all sorts of other things are still broken too like you mentioned so I just put it down to that.
I kind of think it might be best to start fresh, selectively add based off of just the stock AAU1 plane rather than Mugz Mod. Pretty sure all the door handling will have to be completely done anyways?
BTW I am trying to add a checklists page now that the G3000 has the new plugin architecture which is how I went down this path anyway. Iām not promising anything but it seems possible. If I manage to make something work Iāll send a PR on github for your consideration.
Iām first going to apologize if Iām covering ground thatās already covered. Iāve been on a leave of absence of sorts for awhile, and havenāt kept up to speedā¦ At all!
I was unaware that Mugz walked away from this mod, and still donāt know whyā¦ Maybe itās public knowledge, maybe not, but he was working for free and didnāt owe me or anyone else anything, so thanks Mugz for the work, and good luck wherever you your travels take you.
Is this mod still necessary, considering the changes made with the current beta build? Is it still active?

Yes. Thanks for asking

Has it moved? I have the āoldā (?) one bookmarked, but when I went there, it said something like it was on hold and looked like it hadnāt been touched since about the su6 or su7 days.
Luka (Active in this thread) has taken over the mod and hosts it on GitHub
Thanks Bigcow for the info, and thanks to you Senor Luka for your efforts on this amazing bird.
Are you guys aware that there is a war going on in that part of Europe, thatās the reason why.
I believe that he is either Ukranian or close to the conflict over there.
I think that Mugz is Russian, based on his Twitter. I donāt have any kind of contact with him, so I donāt know the exact reason, but I think itās related to the war. His Twitter is still active.
The mod is still needed for SU10, but with the upcoming AAU1 update is redundant or inferior for the most part. The only thing that it will be needed for is better lighting, independent door controls, better ground handling and to have the co-pilot visible. Assuming that Asobo will not add/update these in future updates
Unfortunately I just stareted a new job, so I donāt have that much time to work on the mod. I started updating the mod to work with the AAU1 preview, but looking at the code there are still things that Asobo needs to fix, so I donāt want to waste time updating a preview that will likely change by the time the stable release is out.
You can download the update for SU10 from here, or you can fork the repo and get the latest commit that kinda works with the AAU1 preview, but it still has a lot of things that are wrong or not working.

Iāve gone ahead and started āfreshā from the AAU1 files, and selectively brought changes over from the mod.
So far Iāve got Pilots, SunVisors, Pax Table and the flight model changes ported. Iāve also added the excellent BVar to LVar behaviour from here so InertSep etc. can be mapped.
Iāll try to get the Pulse Lights working next. What are the other must haves that the mod had? I know some internal light changes but I personally never fly at night, so Iām not too sure.
As you can see Iām also working on an electronic checklists plugin for the G3000, but Iāll release that seperately.

Wow. Thatās a lot of work.
I think that lighting in general is the main thing to port from the mod. Camera positions too. If you havenāt yet, ground handling is another thing that the mod does better.
