Generic Switches with Lights

This Switch and it´s lights are separate
gauges. The lights may be placed apart from
the switches. The switch is just a fake switch
that has no function at all, except switching
the light on/off.Also this little switch remembers
its position thru FS98 sessions....

The light gauges may be used alone or together to show the
state of the switch.

By Hex-Editing, it´s possible to create many other switches
and lights from this one.

Example :

Using any Hex-Editor, look for the string SWT00001 and change it
to another string like SWT01002. Doe this in both the light and
the switch. Then the switch will influence this light
( and all other lights using this Token )

Also the position of this switch is remebered individually
under this Token.

There are two example lights , each having a different bitmap size.
