P-51D Landing Lights

My P-51 landing/taxi light only illuminates the left side of the runway in DCSW 2.04. The world right of the cockpit centerline is dark. Normal?

 

Yes it is right, Mustang has landing light only under left wing.

Well, the light is at the left wing so it makes sense from that perspective. Have no idea though regarding if the IRL light was directed straight ahead or towards the center line or not.

 

Yes, seems odd that right of the centerline is total darkness.

When making final approach and flaring, You don't see the runway anyway, because it's hidden under the nose, so there's no point in making a light directed there.

 

That's how it works on MiG-15 too, which has a light mounted in the nose, but it's slanted to the left on purpose.
