PMDG Landing and taxi lights not illuminating ground

Featured Replies

For some time now the taxi and landing lights on ALL my PMDG products do not illuminate the ground. They work, i can see them lighting the aircraft but not the ground. When ALL the lights are on i can see some of the light on the ground but in bad resolution/low quality only in the area that is illuminated. This is only happening on the PMDG products. Every other aircraft works fine and in high quality detail. 

 

I have tried re-installing the aircraft with no luck. 

 

Please help and advice how i can get this fixed. Night time flying sucks for this reason.

 

thanks

There is an option as such in FSX which is checked. If it wasn't all other aircraft would have the same issue, but they don't. The FMC makes sense although i haven't noticed such an option, ill check that out today.

 

thnx

I was able to get the lights to work but now the part where the ground is illuminated is in low resolution. Anyone have any idea why THAT is happening now?  Please help

The strobe light  will not illuminate on the ground   on Dawn and Dusk Time. 

Search these PMDG forums for spotlight.bmp and halo.bmp.  You need the original FSX files.
