Aerosoft/Toliss A346 Light Mod

VC and external light mod for the a346, now with realistic projector-style front panel flood lights. unfortunately, LCD brightness and integral light knobs are not mapped to light potentiometers in the model so cannot modulate brightness with the knob. Beacon effect is also baked

into the model which is affected by distance (LOD) but this mod adds normal .fx beacons to overcome the issue (will see out of sync/overlapping beacons when up close to the model).
