VaporFlow Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) When selecting Position Lights to Tail, Fuselage lights are lightened. When switching bright fuselage lights, tail lights turn on. Also I think Taxi and Landing lights are inverted, landing lights should offer more light than taxi ones. Edited August 23, 2020 by HC.Coyote
Frederf Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 Fuselage lights are working as expected with master switch in NORM: off, dim, bright showing flood spot on vertical stabilizer off, dim, and bright respectively. Wing/tail lights are working as expected with master switch in NORM: tail and intake position lights are off, dim, bright according to switch. Wingtip position light brightness is controlled by formation knob. It's expected that landing light is less useful than taxi light while on the ground in the three point attitude. The landing light is aimed to provide illumination of the touchdown area while in the landing attitude. This downward aiming not optimized for taxi illumination. It is also relatively narrow in order to concentrate illumination power on the relatively narrow runway.
=Panther= Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 Taxi light floods the ground while taxing Landing light is like a spot light and angled downwards.

Tholozor Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 The external lights switch was reported before once, it's correct as-is: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=271124 REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/
VaporFlow Posted August 24, 2020 Author Posted August 24, 2020 Ok, I just found it in the FM and it's correct as it is... This took my attention... Regarding the taxi and landing lights.. from having worked with airline aircrafts, this behavior seems weird as normally in commercial airliners you can have both taxi and landing lights lighten or just a lamp with two different watt consumption for landing and taxi, but I have no background in this one, so I really don't know if it's correct or not. Thanks for the replies!
