No ground lighting / phantom mountains

[tsb47]

On my DCS installation, lights do not illuminate the ground ie, taxi light, landing lights, illumination flares - none of them light up the ground making them effectively useless. Screenshot attached.

 

Strangely, the trucks that light up the runways at night when you ask ATC to clear takeoff and landing do work.

 

Any ideas on what might be causing this and how to fix? :helpsmilie:

 

Key facts:

• My graphics card is a GTX970 running latest drivers 347.52.
  

• I'm running DCS on Steam.
  

• Verify integrity of game cache - didn't fix the problem.
  

 

Also, I've found that when flying I get what I can only describe as phantom mountains - transparent textures that appear at high altitude / over water and look like the mirror image of the mountains below and on shore.

Bump!

Is this only affecting the MIG or other aircraft? (Please list, might make more sense then to someone who knows more)

[tsb47]

It's happening to all aircraft.

 

I currently have: A-10C, P-51, FW-190, Sabre, F-15C and SU-27.

Have you tried running a repair?

 

Other than that, I don't know what to suggest apart from to wait until Edge arrives.

[tsb47]

I have run repaid. Didn't work.

 

I guess I will have to wait for EDGE... whenever it comes.

Bump!!

Up to date graphics drivers?

My friend is experiencing the same issue as well. We can see his lights, but he can't see any.

Same issue, GTX 570.

 

Edit: Fix for me was in options.lua: lights had somehow been changed from 2 to 1. Changing it back to 2 fixed it.
