ablablabla100 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 So the question like in the title. I noticed that the light isn't centered and it depends on to which side I turn like on my screenshots. First after right turn, and second after left turn. _________________________________ i5 4460 3.2GHz 16GB RAM GTX650Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 My theory is all "straight ahead" lights in DCS are following a vector from model center (0,0,0) through their lightsource x,y,z. The lights seem to be going radially outward. Even the A-10 light goes a little to the side because the nose gear strut is off center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederf Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Months or possibly years ago the light data was exposed in a lights.lua which was easily edited. This allowed one to play with the values: color, direction, width, cutoff distance, brightness. I have to conclude there is a huge amount of untapped potential in the landing/taxi lights currently in DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ablablabla100 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 hmm, so it's not fault of Mirage, but more DCS itself. Am I right? _________________________________ i5 4460 3.2GHz 16GB RAM GTX650Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodooflies Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 hmm, so it's not fault of Mirage, but more DCS itself. Am I right? Yeah, indeed. However, some modules have their own light system, just like the C101 for instance. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
