[INVALID, SEE DESC] Landing Light (and how to make one work!)

THIS INFORMATION IS NOW INVALID.

DUE TO A RECENT UPDATE, YOU NO LONGER NEED TO USE NEGATIVE INPUTS TO MAKE A LANDING LIGHT.

THIS LANDING LIGHT NO LONGER WORKS.

NEGATIVE INPUTS STILL WORK THOUGH! :)

So here's a landing light. Most landing lights you see on the SP website light up when the gear is retracted, which isn't how they are supposed to work. Something that isn't known by all XML modders is that putting a dash in front of an input name (ex: -LandingGear) inverts the input. Note that it is scaled to look better on a large aircraft. Credit is in a comment.

    Man, this gave me a LOT of points. It's really sad to see it stop working.

    I was originally going through the forums to find out how to make a landing light when a comment by @EternalDarkness caught my eye. In that comment was the original information. Probably should have credited earlier, but I did now.
