777 beacon light illumination on the wing

Featured Replies

Since the bottom beacon light is illuminating the engines can you please include the top beacon light illumination on the wing too?

That would be awesome because I also enjoy not just the cockpit but also the wingview at cruising altitudes during darkness. It feels so realistic and I like the opportunity to switch between pilot and passanger. It just makes long flights more pleasant and thrilling with the 777.

Here are some photos:

This barely noticeable to me in your screen shots, perhaps embedding the YouTube video would a better representation of the beacon casting light on the wing top.

Yeah I made the screenshots too early.

More at the end of the video is that what I mean...

Here is the video:

The following two screenshots are better examples because thats when the 777 is reaching cruising speed with retracted flaps so the beacon light illumination is noticeable:
