Glasses needed for Fenix Beacon light in MSFS2024 ?
The purpose of the beacon light is that you can see it flashing.
However on the Fenix 320 in MSFS2024 (No idea in MSFS2020) it more like a candle and can only be seen in macro close up.
See movie

The lights in general in FS 2024 are messed up.  Nearly every default aircraft does not even have visible lights....

Unfortunately it's not fixed for the Fenix.
Even a candle gives more light

I wonder if this is a sim issue or an airplane-specific issue?

Fenix A320 is still at an experimental stage for the MSFS2024. It is possible that when it is officially released for this simulator the lights are no longer an issue.

😁 true , many an airside incident would have been caused if the fenix beacon wasnt so bright !

Better get that beacon working for a fake airplane game. 
 

for whatever it’s worth, when I’m flying the 737 in real life. The last thing I’m worrying about is if my beacon is flashing bright enough. And if the multiple airbuses around me have their beacons flashing brightly enough.  Maybe you should try that. Worrying less. Who knows. Might make your simming experience a little more fun.

What is it you "737 in real life" pilots worry about? Tell us so we can worry about it too.

Something about reading this makes me hope to never be a passenger on your plane?

So I am not able to make a note about the candle beacon light ?
You must be really frustrated 

when I’m flying the 737 in real life. The last thing I’m worrying about is if my beacon is flashing bright enough.

What ?
Any idea about all other vehicles on the ramp that always watch for the beacon light.
If it's flashing that means stay away from the plane and do not pass  behind etc. etc.
Or do you think that all vehicles on the ramp are listening to your ATC chat where it says ready to push.

Let me remind you real 737 pilot:

Beacon lights are flashing red lights fitted on the top and bottom fuselage of an aircraft usually on larger passenger aircraft. Their purpose is to alert ground crew and other aircraft that an engine is starting up, running or shutting down, or that the aircraft is about to start moving.

So I would rather not be in your plane when you don't care about your beacon light

I think it's fair to point out things that aren't being simulated properly in a simulator. Isn't that the whole point?

"Worrying less" or I-don't-care-about-my-beacon-light isn't exactly what I want to hear from a pilot, and even if you're just exaggerating, I don't really see the point of your post. Why invest time for writing that someone else should worry less? Did you just want to drop that you're a real pilot?
