B59.2 and P3D v6 Exterior Lights don't work

Hello,
I'm at a loss... After moving from P3D v.5.4 and B58 to P3D v6 and B59 and updates, I cannot get the exterior lights to work anymore! I have checked all the paths referenced in the various addon files including the Jeehell addon.xml and made sure they point to the new V6 installation. I dont know anymore where to look for. The old (normal) lights work with the keyboard command. The only thing I see is a path to an "Exteriorlights.dll" inside the Exterior Lights folder in C:A320FMGS, but there is no such file in that folder. Only fx files and I cannot find it anywhere else. I have also seen in the french forum a reference to an "exteriorlights.ini" file which neither exists on my system.
I have a system with four PC's and a remote FMGS server. The exteriorlights folder is only on the P3D machine. I use all Skalarki hardware, including the overhead panel and all is functional as it should.

Any help would be appreciated.

Francis

You can download the missing ExteriorLights.dll from here:
https://www.jeehell.org/ExteriorLights.dll
Put in in c:\A320FMGS\ExteriorLights folder on Visual PC.

I have the same problem I have Exteriorlights dll in the exteriorlights folder of A320 FMGS with the 23 files but when I launch P3D v6 the lights are not reflected on the ground I have a sonic cockpit overhead I have 3 computers with on the main P3D and has 320 FMGS and on the other 2 the ND PFD and SD screens of the pilot and co-pilot I do not understand why the information does not pass to P3D v6
I would like some help

Hi!
Did you enable dynamic lights in P3D options and did you test it at night... It doesn't reflect on the tarmac with day light.

Hi
Thank you for your help
I have dynamic lights selected and I tried at night it works But if you press L on your keyboard you have a much stronger light which is visible even during the day This is what I saw in the versions previous ones when I activated my lights from my overhead. This is why I notice a difference
Greetings
