August 8, 201114 yr Library Administrator Hey Guys, I noticed another issue that I have never noticed before. This is mostly asthetic, but never the less its still something I noticed. I am taking my 1st night flight tonight, I left KCOS at dusk. I turned on my taxi and landing lights. No part of the ground was showing illuminated from my lights when looking through spot view. I think I saw them from the VC only and not the 2d cockpit. Am I missing something that has been covered? Brian A.

August 8, 201114 yr I had this issue in the past. I think it had something to do with REX lighting effects settings. I could be wrong, but I think I had to set the landing lights to default in REX. Shane Gavin

August 8, 201114 yr Im not using REX, but thanks for that idea. Sorry, I should mention I have zero addon scenery. Oops, I assumed and you know what that means. Are you sure the "landing lights illuminate ground" option is selected in the FSX settings?After some further searching, it appears this may be an FSX issue and 3D lighting.

August 8, 201114 yr Author Library Administrator I'll check my settings. I know that you should not really be able to see the lights during the day, but they should be visible after sunset. I'll let you know after I land. Still a couple hundred miles out. Brian A. Neuman Proud simmer since 1982 using the following simulators: Sublogic Flight Simulator 1 and 2.

August 8, 201114 yr Author Library Administrator Issue resolved. It wasnt dark enough when I left KCOS. On arrival at KMCI everything was lit up well even the ground strobe effect. Funny side story, I had the plane set up for a perfect CATIII landing. Speed was right, and I was going to watch it land from spot view during what I thought was a light storm. Well, about 1 mile from the runway, maybe less I ended up with a 65-70 knot crosswind that shut off my autoland and autopilot for that matter and I almost blew off the runway before I realized what was going on.

I am taking my 1st night flight tonight, I left KCOS at dusk. I turned on my taxi and landing lights. No part of the ground was showing illuminated from my lights when looking through spot view. I think I saw them from the VC only and not the 2d cockpit. Am I missing something that has been covered? I'm seeing the same thing, but it's in the VC that illumination doesn't occur. If I toggle to 2D view, they illuminate. It's not an 'FSX issue' as it only happens w/ the NGX. Haven't tried a night flight yet, just early dawn I noticed this.
