NAV lights (VATSIM)

[Keirtt 574]

Trying to figure this one out but I’m also not totally sure this is a bug. I’ve tried without any custom vmr files (Stock) and with a custom VMR file. What I’m finding is the NAV lights on the aircraft will reflect off the ground, but until they get into the air, they’re not very visible on the aircraft itself. If I move the camera up close to the aircraft I can see it on the tips, but just barely. From any distance you can’t see it at all. Strobes, beacon, landing, and taxi lights seem to be working fine. I’m just trying to understand if this is a problem with my sim or a bug. Anyone else able to look on their client and see?

If you look closely in this pic, you’ll see the nav lights reflecting off the ground. As soon as they’re in the air, they become super bright and visible

There a guy who's supposed to be fixing this, but I think he's off on a drinking binge until the SDK gets fixed. 😄

My friend @simbol might know where he is.

The same thing was happening to me but with AI Traffic (both offline and online). It might be the same issue.

I fixed it some how, but I have no idea what exactly fixed it. I deleting all the config files and emptied the $PC$ file in the AppData folder. 

For Steam that's 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator', no idea where it is fro MS Store.

Interestingly the IVAO models seem fine generally, the AIG models and Asobo seem most affected.  Weird that the lights come good once they are airborne - I can't see why... some a/g logic buried in one of the config files (if that's possible)?
