=Mac= Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I was flying a Cat III manual approach (no ILS!) on Krasnodar Center. Mild crosswind, light snow, 2200 hrs, temps below freezing. At the threshold, Krasnodar lit the numbers for me. I already had the landing light full extended but there never was a landing light illumination of the runway. Even as I cleared the runway, still no ground illumination. F2 showed that the lights were on and reflecting off the ground, but from the cockpit, everything was dark. Because I was practicing crosswind landings, I ran the mission a few times. Once or twice, I did get the illumination. I don't know why or what was different. I suspect a bug somewhere. The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...
kontiuka Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 The opposite seems to be happening now in 1.2.16. The beam on the ground is showing but now the lights themselves don't go on.
kontiuka Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Looks like I was wrong. The lights do light up but they are much fainter than before so they only really show when it is pitch black.
Art-J Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Maybe not "wrong" after all. I'd say, in the dawn/dusk conditions, like on Your first screen, we should definitely see them already, so something's still not quite right. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
Winston60 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Yeah, they should be brighter. There's also some interior lighting problems: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=141136
Donut Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Have the dull taxi/landing light bulbs as seen from the exterior been confirmed as a bug and something that is being worked on? i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT"
