MD-11: Lights Don't Illuminate The Ground.

Featured Replies

Hi all,Is it just me or do others not have taxi or landing lights illuminating the ground in front of them? I noticed this at several different airports over the past two days at it was especially hard to follow the taxi line. I can see the taxi light and landing lights when looking at the aricraft as well as the light-splash on the under-belly in front of the nose gear, but nothing on the ground.If I am the exception, could it be my current copy of the halo.bmp which causes this? Any thoughts are welcome.Regards,

Thanks again Andre. Swapping back in the original spotlight.bmp did indeed fix the problem. I can now see the landing lights on the ground in front of me.Regards,

I have the same problem lately but it appears that something overwrote this file with a new spotlight file. I don't use ASG and was wondering how to get back the original file. Can it be found on the original FSX disks or is it downloadable from somewhere?Bill BarretteUnited-Virtual.com
