You need to check the add-ons.xml in 'my documents\lockheed Martin prepared v.x.y\jeehell' and correct the path to effects
It still uses the old a320-214 folder instead of A320

Bonjour Jean-Luc,
is there anythig else that I need to adjust?
Changing from A320-214 to A320 did not solve the problem.
Here is a copy of the relevant .xml coding:

</AddOn.Component>
<AddOn.Component>
<Category>Effects</Category>
<Path>c:\A320FMGS\Aircraft\A320\Effects</Path>
</AddOn.Component>
<AddOn.Component>
<Name>ExteriorLightsEffects</Name>
<Category>Effects</Category>
<Path>c:\A320FMGS\ExteriorLights</Path>

Thanks a lot for your input.
Best Regards

I restarted the computer. I am not sure what you mean with pad ??
I did recreate the .bin files. Beacon and Wing lights are working,
taxi and landing lights don't.

Hi Fritz,
after changing the addon.xml for the Effects Folder the problem is gone.
Do you restart the P3D PC after changing the addon.xml?

Make sure you have the dynamic lights enabled in p3d?
(Pad = p3d, spell corrector issue...)

Thanks JL

I have observed that on the RCDR panel the CVR TEST does not sound.

Again, many thanks for your efforts!
