Attach point .XML in .X files.

This is very helpful, although I am having issues getting it to work. My objective is to attach a landing light effect (fx_landing.fx) to a poly (named c_gear_landlite) in FSDS3. The model is saved as an .x file and then dragged onto MakeMDL.exe to create a new .mdl file. Here is the code as I've adjusted it, any suggestions would be appreciated.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<c_gear_landlite>

<Effect effectName="fx_landing" effectParams=">K:LANDING_GEAR_TOGGLE"/>

</c_gear_landlite>

</Attachpoint>

</FSMakeMdlData>

Very helpful but have a few questions -

1) <AttachedObject> Leave as is, or the actual name of the object say in FSDS?

2) PartData block - Right at the start of it where does the 233; come from? (I understand the rest)

3) effectParams - can we use a: varibles i.e

effectParams="(A: LIGHT_NAV, bool)0 >"

Basically want to use this method to attach fx_nav lights to folding wings.

Thanks

Does this change for the FS-X x file format?
