Legacy Light Effects Not Illuminating Ground

On our Orbx build, we used an effect folder exterior to the simobjects folder, which the systems.cfg can refer to.

However, as we are compiling for the marketplace, the effects folder has to be within the airplane itself (If I’m not mistaken), because the project won’t detect its presence to build it.

I’ve moved over into the aircraft folder and followed the SDK. Upon build, there were no errors in the console for anything light-related.

attached are the file structure and images.

Do I have to reference these effects in aircraft.cfg?
Is there a way to have the effects folder outside of the simobjects folder?
