I tried to link the beaconlights to the landing gear, but they glow only when the gear is closed. I need the inverse funcion... they must glow when the gear is down. How I can do?

@Baldovino put - before LandingGear, so the activation group will be -LandingGear
@Sarpanitu sadly they are on when retracted and off when extacted, and I need vice versa.

I think I already joined what I can. Simply I need more AGs. :)
@EternalDarkness just tried your suggestion. It work but not perfectly (the light glow a little bit inside the part where I retract them), but at present it's still the better way to do the job.
@Baldovino aaahhhh...now I see the issue, yes that's a bit of a problem. Are there other AGs that can be more easily migrated to work in conjunction with each other?
@ChiChiWerx you are absolutelly right, but... a real plane have much more than 8 switch :P I have used all the 8 AGs (3 of them twice ehehehe). Untill we will have at least 20 AGs (form 1 to 0, and from 1 to 0 + alt, IE) I must optimize the 8 I can use.
Hey, in real life, landing lights are typically activated by a separate switch and are not slaved to retraction or extension of the gear. There may be exceptions, but they're typically set up this way to give the pilot more options. For example, being able to turn off the landing light when pulling into parking so that you don't blind the crew chief at night is a good thing! So, simply setting up the LL to an activation group would be the way I would advise and would actually be the most realistic thing you could do, though it might not seem it at first glance.
@Baldovino no problem
@EternalDarkness OK... this can be a way, I will try. Thanks.
Can't you make the lights retract into the fuselage? They can be always on.
@AstleyIndustries i have not free ag :(
@Baldovino @AstleyIndustries isnt there an option to choose if the light is on or off at the start
The only way is to connect gear lights to an activation group, which you activate together with the landing gear button (more like actual planes)
@LatteCoffee55 Link the light to gear is already XML editing, but "invert=True" or "reverse=True" does not work.
I think you can chage that via xml
