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

[jordanal 70]

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 a bunch Andre, that's probably the ticket as I do use ASG. Will check that out as soon as I get home this evening.Ho hum, another long day waiting to get back and kick the dog some more, LOL... I am really starting to like the automation in the plane. Well done guys!

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
