I've done some searching but haven't managed to come up with anything definitive so I apologize in advance if this has been resolved before.I recently purchased the FS2004 version of the Archer II and for some reason the wingtip strobes aren't flashing (or light up at all). It doesn't matter if I activate all the lights at once with the L key, or if I flip the strobe switch in the cockpit. The Nav, landing, and beacon lights all work fine, it's just the wingtip strobes I'm having trouble with. Just to note I've installed several other Carenado aircraft and their strobes are fine.Is this a known issue, or something I've got screwed up?Thank you in advance.

After closer examination of the wingtip it looked like there were no strobes on this aircraft, and upon doing a little research it seems that not all Piper Archers of this vintage came with wingtip strobes. Ha, learn something new everyday.Carry on, nothing to see here... :(

Hello Phil.

I know this is an (old) thread, but I just discovered it.... and if anyone else flying the Piper Archer in FS2004 wants to add strobes to your plane, it is easily done by making the needed changes in the aircraft.cfg file.

The following in an example of one of my Piper Archer installations... this one is from my laptop FS9 sim.

 

Carenado Piper Archer

(Please NOTE> this modified cfg. does NOT have the landing light replaced yet - ONLY the strobe lights )
