No Landing and Taxi lights in FSX

[Guest huryt]

Is it a problem on my side or a microsoft issue?When i turn my taxi and landing lights on every aircraft i don't see theese lights from the cockpit and in the spot view etc..What is the problem?How can it be solved? P.S I know that there were topics like this but i didn't find solutions from them.

No it isnt your fault. It is a FSX issue. Apparently it uses a new method of dealing with these lights , all FS9 aircraft imported into FSX have this problem, they only show when in 2D cockpit.

Ok.But i have this problem with FSX default planes.

>Ok.But i have this problem with FSX default planes.Then it is a problem on your side. They work for me.

>Ok.But i have this problem with FSX default planes.Are you sure you have the setting for Landing Lights to illuminate Ground set in the Aircraft section of the Display settings?

I can always see the landing light on the default aircraft but I have never been able to see the taxi lights only, like on FS9.This happens when I switch landing lights off but leave taxi lights on or just turning on taxi lights without landing lights.What am I doing wrong?

You won;t see them on ANY aircraft.I do have at least one imported FS9 aircraft where the landing lights are visable on the ground in VC but I don't recall whichone it is. I'm away from home at the moment aand can't check.It is probably one of the aircraft from Classic Britiash Flight Sims group. Paul

Speaking of landing lights: I would have love to the light finally rendered as true shaders (a la X-Plane), not as those ugly, overlaid FS9 cones.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/169613.jpgAlso: The FSX landing lights shine through the default airpiort buildings for me.Pat

I totally agree. Landing lights in MSFS are so ugly. They just make evrything looked washed out whereas in Xplane they look so good! I'll also agree that FSX is a 100 times better than X-plane overall however why is such a small thing so difficult to fix?Rgds,JCMK
