Landing lights on clouds

Featured Replies

Exactly.

 

Here are 2 pics from Yesterday. MMTO-MMPS. Nasty weather + wind-shear galore  AS16.

My plane was tossed around like a kite.

 

This was NOT the ideal airplane for this mission, probably should have returned to base and

change to the 350i.

Light OFF

Sorry, they are a bit dark here.

Cheers

 

 

Hi, this is very interesting for me, thanks

 

Q, the cloud illumination, is this only present when viewed from the VC? reason i ask is that I dont have VC on the model I use (Jetmax rig) so am wondering if I should try this route

 

many thanks

 

EDIT, found these on my FSX install so ported over to P3d, they only appear in VC/external views so no good for my setup unfortunately as the SimA doesnt have a VC. I did create a new camera but its not ideal as it has to be positoined beyond the cockpit of the model

Great suggestion. I just wish they would just get along with it and make a native installer. Or if FSFX packages were to take up the baton and make a competitor package, I'd be all over that in a second (miss seeing my AI aircraft at night). Given the magic FSFX have done with weather effects, I'd recon they would do a better job than A2A on the lighting effects as well.

 

We hear you ;)

I think the problem with that is that it will illuminate the ground as well, even if you are at FL350... Whatever will be behind those lights will be illuminated.

Hello

 

I haven't tested that (ground at altitude) specifically, but the illumination cone is limited.

Sorry it does not work for your FS setting.

Yes the light is positioned at ~14 feet from the center, I'm not on my PC now so cant dig the position.

Time, is the one thing no one can buy.
