Minor issues with landing lights

Featured Replies

Hello,I'm using FSX PMDG MD11 FS2crew but after some hours of flying and monitoring i found a small problem.Directly after take off, when gear slected up, the FO switch off all landing lights. That from the nose gear i can understand but also the Landing lights and RWY turnoff lights.These should be on untill reaching 10.000FT.I searched in oure AOM and procedure manual of the MD11 (Martinair) but they also discribe to let those lights on untill 10.000ftIs there a bug our is this normal and programmed?Regards Peter

Hi Peter,At the airline we modeled, that's the way they do it. What you're seeing is deliberate. Our real-world MD-11 pilot confirmed everything and wrote the script upon which the FS2Crew procedures are based.The logic is that the lights protrude into the airstream, and that can cause turbulence which cause cause some discomfort in the 1st class section.Cheers,
