Artificial lighting doesn't light up jets?

[durka-durka]

Trying to place an F-18 under a lightsource (parking lot lights) at night in the Persian Gulf map, but it remains a shadow no matter where I put it. Is there a way to light up these jets or other objects? Here's an example of what I'm dealing with. Any way to get this lit?

Nope. Night lighting on surfaces is "baked on" and not an actual light source.

Weird. It works in some of the civilian airports and planes, and works when cars drive under street lights, but not for jets.

 

Oh well.

jets use special "stealth" paint that absorbs light ........

I was just at Dubai International and parked under a light. There were some 777s there that were lit up and cars driving by in the city, yet the static Hornet absorbed the light. Funnily enough, I had another hornet crash nearby and the flames lit the hornet up.
