Effects File Behaving Badly

[Cosmottic]

Im having problems with an effects file. The effect is showing in the sim but is not using the params correctly. (FS2004)The effect is a glideslope I created for runways I want it to only show in the VC/cockpit instead it shows in all views. Ive followed the SDKs as far as Im able and need to know if this is common or if there is a fix or solution. Ive placed the effects by XML creation and drag and drop on BGLcomp. Here is the text of the file.
EDIT-
Been a while since I stopped in here so I posted some other shots of what Ive been up to lately. Here are a couple links 1 the Dash 8 100s that I recently uploaded to SimV and a link to Utube with some FS Music Videos showing some of my models. Thanks Greg

Moved the effects subforum.

Can you describe the problem in a little more detail. "Not using the parameters correctly" does not really explain the problem to me.

Hi there,

according to the FSX SDK, "Changing [the Properties parameters] to zero will have no effect, as these settings are unimplemented." I've heard that the same is true for FS9. Sorry.

Cheers, Holger

Thanks

Hey Arno and Holger. I want the effect to only show from the VC/cockpit not in the other views. Ive zeroed out or turned off the views as in the text above but as Holger has stated sounds like there is no real way to do this. SUCK!
The FS9 effects SDK states that to stop the effect from being shown in any one view you need only turn off the coressponding field (1 or 0) or ommit the views section all together for it to show in all views. I had hoped not to have to see the glideslope at all times at the airport Im building but may since the glideslope is invaluable during weather conditions of 3/4 of a mile and above to guide to the runway it realy works well. In fact its nice to have for all weather conditions and times of day.
If anyone has a way of stopping the effect from showing in the Spot Tower and Map views while still allowing it to be seen from the VC/cockpit view the info would be great. Otherwise ill just edit the effect to be easier on the eye.Thanks Greg.
