Virtual cockpit views and exterior views are all ok, but when I come into cockpit view (the view where there should be a 2D Panel but PMDG did not design it), I cannot see the landing lights or taxi lights illuminate the ground ahead.

 

This is what I found after installing SP1, and 300ER too.

 

Is there any fix about this? Thanks.

Same problem here. Although, before I consider it a 'problem' I'm going to read the Intro manual one more time to see if it was removed for a specific reason.

Any resolution?  I too am experiencing the same problem.

Are you all using  rexe at all since  if you go in the option under  sun/lighting  under landing lights  choose" use for real air" option or  the extreme one

I am using the PMDG 777-200/300.  There isn't a category "sun/lighting".  There is however, a category under options to assign a keyboard key for each of the light through FSX.  But, I did not assign one to any of them since the aircraft lights up in VC mode and Exterior mode.  It's when I'm in the 2D cockpit that I don't see them anymore.

Similar problem here, only see the lights in pitch black and then very weak.

Hey Guys,

I had the same problem, but try to go into the simulator options and turn on "splashes appear in daylight" and any other lighting options. Then it should work. 

There is also a basic FSX setting......something like "landing lights illuminate the ground".... maybe you need to check that?

Also check in the cfg file for: see self=1

Also check in the cfg file for: see self=1

lol - not very helpful though For me sometimes they work sometimes I cant see them, but is usually my SweetFX settings they too dark!!!

2.3 Missing File

POSTED BY STEVEFSX ⋅ JUNE 26, 2014⋅ 22 COMMENTS

 

Maybe this frome Steves site regarding DX10 Fixer 2.3?

 

 

Unfortunately, the 2.3 FSS release of DX10 Scenery Fixer is missing a configuration file.

This causes issues with some lights such as landing lights

To correct this

1. download the file DX10Product.ini using this link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nnfapxeln8d8wbq/AADXn1vA5S7jO5B0fkUaSCh2a
2. Uninstall the libraries using DX10Controller
3. Then copy the downloaded file to C:\Program Data\DX10Scenery Fixe
4. Install the libraries using DX10 Controller.

Hi all

Sorry to dig up this post, but I still cannot see the landing lights or taxi lights illuminate the ground ahead.

 

777-200 and sp1

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

I'm also keen for a solution here.  I fly the 777 using a 2d panel, but the landing lights don't work using 2d.

 

I use 2d because:

 

1: the VC viewpoint bug means the view moves too much on long-body aircraft, especially near the equator, so the panel doesn't stay in a fixed position;

2: the VC mouse cursor bug affects performance too much right when I need it;

3: the 2d gauges are clearer, larger, and easier to read;

4: the 2d gauges are easier to manipulate (the cursor doesn't 'slide' off buttons);

5: I can cover my screen in panels that I want to see (Aerowinx PSX style);

6: fixed panel positions are consistent with normal desktop training sims;

7: I'm only interested in flying the well-designed systems, not the VC or aircraft model itself (again, think Aerowinx PSX).

 

I wish PMDG would reconsider a 2d overhead and main panel for those reasons, but just putting landing lights back in the model would be great...

That means you have tried everything above?

And you have no other addons that could be intefering with the lights?

(maybe you can list the addons you are using)

 

Also, to see approach lights for example it has to be dark.

What local time are you flying?

 

Do you see from outside that the lights are on?

So it is just that the rwy does not seem illuminated?

I'm also keen for a solution here.  I fly the 777 using a 2d panel, but the landing lights don't work using 2d.

 

totally agree with all your arguments for using 2D, excpet that the landing lights do not work when you use 2D popup panels.

 

No problems here.

 

I use the VC on a 46" TV and 2D popups on two 24" monitors.

(PFD,ND,EICAS,ECL (lower center display), FMC and MCP)

"Splashes appear in daylight" checked

 

Thanks, Jordan, it worked for me.

 

 

Best.
