I still have the issue with the strobe and nav lights. But I'm on V4.

They're a little hard to see cause its night. But on the 757 the red arrow points to the nav lights that aren't reflecting on the ground and the green one reflects to the one that is.

This next one is the default mooney bravo

The nav and strobe lights work reflect fine there.
This same problem also happens with the 777. I wrote the 777 off as just not having it but after the update the 757 is doing it too. I like the extra bit of realism that the reflection gives off. Not really necessary I guess.

I'm confused cause I can clearly see the red nav light reflecting on the ground. It's dark for sure, but that's pretty much how it is in real life, it's not a super bright light like the beacon.

Right. But there are zero reflections. But as I said it doesn't really matter. If its not there its not the end of the world. Just wish it worked like the 767.

No I literally see the reflections on the ground in your screenshot, right near the runway edge markings, I can see your red nav light reflecting on the ground.

Yeah... I realized just a little bit ago my wording was wrong. I'm referring to the white nav and position lights. The red nav works fine. I get them mixed up sometimes especially when I'm tired.

I took some screenshots at dusk so its much easier to see. Didn't think to do that.


The 757 wing lights don't reflect on the ground.

Like that for example.
All my other addons work fine... just the CS 757 and 777 that don't. The red nav works fine though. The white nav does reflect on the wing. Wording may be wrong again. Sorry if it is. I get light names confused a lot.

They are reflecting at realistic rate.
If it's not at your taste, that's an easy fix:
...\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Effects\cs757_navwhi.fx
[ParticleAttributes.3]
Color Start=20, 20, 20, 90
Color End=20, 20, 20, 90
Just increase the highlighted parameters.

You're both right. I realized that I was completely wrong about nav lights. Thanks for the tip though.
