Red Flashlight Mod by Nerbulus, converted to drag+drop by HIGHMEMFIX1 on the forums at forums.flightsimulator.com
Notice: The original file is by Asobo and Microsoft, I do not take ownership of their original file in any way.
NOTE: You need to update to the latest version if you haven't already for this to work with SU8.
This mod changes JUST your flashlight (left Alt+L) to the more accurate red instead of white.
This is because real pilots IRL use red headlights that don't interfere with glare and also they don't have to adjust their eyes to a bright light.
INSTALLATION:
Now supports drag+drop thanks to HIGHMEMFIX1 on the forums!
Copy the folder "effects-redflashlight-nerbulus" to your Community folder and you're all set!
To uninstall, delete the folder from your community folder.
I hope you enjoy! Turn on your flashlight at night be pressing left Alt+L (by default). If you custom binded this function then only you know which key you bound it to.

Not working in version 1.26.5.0. Added folder to the community folder and the light is still white. Downloaded version 1.2
I did get it to work without adding to the community folder by backing up the original FLASHLIGHTMASK.TIF.DDS in the effects/texture folder in fs-base-effects-legacy folder in the Packages/Official/Steam folder and then overwriting that backed up file with your FLASHLIGHTMASK.TIF.DDS so it seems like wherever the folder is pointing is wrong for the STEAM version at least

What seems to be the issue? Is it installed but not showing a red light? Have you updated to the latest version?

To all here; the fixed version for SU8 Beta is available as an additional file when you hit download. Confirmed working by me and CptMoustache but please let me know on your end. Thanks!

Is author still listening here?
Anyone in Beta 8 testing too and can confirm or deny this problem?

There is a selection on the control menu for red flashlight already. Although maybe this was added after this mod was uploaded.

I'll check, I haven't personally seen one and this was uploaded in September so definitely after if it was added.
