Exterior fx lights issues
Apr 28th, 2020 at 5:34am
Print Post  
P3D v4.5.14.34698
767 v0.93

The left and right landing lights, as well as the nose gear and taxi right and left lights, are not modeled on the aircraft - the volumetric light is projected (on the aircraft, runway, etc), but the spotlights remain dark.

It's a P3D (FS2000 to be exact) fx glitch, the lights can "magically" appear any moment. To make it happen sooner try to change some sim video settings back and forth.
We are still looking for what exactly causing the issue. So any input is welcome.

Okay. That explains why when I looked one time, I could see the lights on the 767, then the next time, they were gone!  Cheesy

I can try and do some testing, I’ve made/adjusted quite a few fx files in my day. Which .fx file does the 767 use? I assume the default one?

Dear CS team,

I have noticed that the reflection on the ground of the white navigation light is missing and the strobe Light reflection too!
