July 8, 201411 yr Hi all This problem has just happened. A few days ago i installed a new aircraft and i suspect a file has been either deleted or overwritten. The landing lights do appear on the runway in spotview, but not from inside the cockpit. Any ideas which files i need to copy across from my fs9 backup? Thanks Trevor
July 8, 201411 yr First check in fs9.cfg if SEE_SELF is at 0 or 1. It should be at 1.

July 9, 201411 yr I have an Electra II that drove me to drink with the same problem. I've been told it's a model issue. I don't think it can be fixed without a major rework of the aircraft model. I'll be checking back to see if you find a way. Good luck... GD
July 9, 201411 yr Author First check in fs9.cfg if SEE_SELF is at 0 or 1. It should be at 1. Hi Luis Thanks - that's the one "what dunnit"!!!! I don't understand why it was changed in the .cfg file -- maybe gremlins!!! Now all is working as per normal - thanks again. Regards Trevor
July 9, 201411 yr So Trevor, Just so I understand, was the problem only with new aircraft you installed, or all aircraft? My SEE_SELF is at 1, and I only have the problem you described when I fly my Electra II. All other planes are normal. Thanks for the time, GD
July 12, 201411 yr So Trevor, Just so I understand, was the problem only with new aircraft you installed, or all aircraft? My SEE_SELF is at 1, and I only have the problem you described when I fly my Electra II. All other planes are normal. Thanks for the time, GD I think your issue is separate. It occurs on models built with outdated development software - in most cases they are pre-FS2004 models but some developers still continued to use the old software (stretching my memory but I think it may have been FSDS). There is absolutely nothing you can do about it, I'm afraid. John My co-pilot's name is Sid and he's a star! http://www.adventure-unlimited.org
July 13, 201411 yr FSDS (Flight Sim Design Studio from Abacus) modeling software in version 1 I think did not support a surface illumination in the cockpit view. That was fixed in the next version. Spot view did show the illumination effect from the lights.
