Navigation lights angles

Greetings,

I've used the search function - couldn't find anything on this topic.

 

How come all navigational lights are visible from any angle (apart from when obviously covered by the airplane itself)?

 

This shows the angles of red, green and white lights as they should be:

It gives you a reference for which way the aircraft is traveling...

 

The term you learn in flight school is "Red Right Return" meaning that if you see his red to your right, he's coming toward you.

Ah, sorry, didn't understand your question...

 

Probably because the sprites that make up the lights are so big.

 

 

ED continues to use the terrible physical glow ball and cone halo effect on their lights. Hopefully they will abandon them soon. All lights in DCS need to be overhauled.
