Rotating Airport Beacons Not Visible At Distance In P3D

Featured Replies

In real life, I like flying VFR at night.  If you’re ever flown a light GA aircraft over a mall parking lot on a hot day, you know what I'm talking about.

I can't see airport beacons in P3D unless I'm right at the airport.  

They're no longer visible as soon as you leave the field.

VASI and MALSR lights are visible at altitude from a distance, but not the rotating beacons for some reason.

I've flown hundreds of miles at night IRL and you can see the familiar "green – white,  green – white" flash from 30NM+ away on a clear night.

Questions:

1. Is there a fix for this?

2. If not, is it possible to create your own beacons?  

Thanks in advance 🙂
