Thanks for the response. I understand. I have to live with it! Unfortunately.

No, there is not. The "problem" lies within the FSX's tower camera code.

I noticed this issue when I started watching my landing approaches in the Flight1 Cessna Citation Mustang from the tower viewpoint. The lights are initially located completely separate from the aircraft itself. As I run the replay, they slowly move towards the correct position, and then suddenly I get bright light smearing all over the front of the plane's fuselage. Quite annoying if I ever fancy saving film footage from this viewpoint.As an additional note, if I switch the landing lights off before allowing my saved landing approach to run, the landing lights themselves do not display in the replay, but I still get the light smearing across the forward fuselage!
