DigitalEngine Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 As per the title, the Su-25T landing lights in "high beam" are off center to the left a few degrees. In VR mode, it's noticeable enough to actually induce VR nausea on taxing at night/early morning (for me, anyway). Plus, for one of the "free showcase module" it does not show much attention to detail, to say the least. Could this be put on report please? I know I saw a quick fix posted for this (editing a lua file) at one time, however, after several searches can't seem to find it, and if I remember right, the fix would cause a integrity fault anyway.

Maxthrust Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 This could be intentional to provide better visibility during night landings. They do a pretty good job imo.
DigitalEngine Posted October 21, 2020 Author Posted October 21, 2020 No, this is a bug, introduced earlier this year, I think. In VR the landing lights are noticeably off center to the left.

Flappie Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 No, this is a bug, introduced earlier this year, I think. In VR the landing lights are noticeably off center to the left. I agree. We can see that light beams were parallel back in April (and also back in 2017). ---

DigitalEngine Posted February 10, 2021 Author Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) @BIGNEWY, could you double check this please, maybe something "got lost in translation"? Seems really odd for an aircraft landing lights alignment to be offset horizontally to the left (or to the right). Maybe the team member though we were referring to the vertical offset, which has two settings on the DCS Su-25T. Thanks.

Seems really odd for an aircraft landing lights alignment to be offset horizontally to the left (or to the right)... Most probably correct. Both the MiG-29 and Su-27 landing lights are offset to the left. They shine where the pilot is instructed to look when landing, since he/she can’t see forward over the nose. I imagine, if I could get my hands on this aircraft’s RW manual, I’d read a similar instruction.

Glow Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) From my experience, this is actually more helpful than centered light beam. It allows you somehow to judge the distance and speed much better. Especially in side wind landings, but how this is irl planes ? I belive you can adjust those lights by the mechanics, same like lights in a car. Would be awesome if we could adjust those too. Maybe by editing luas or as editor options. But that's a new feature request. Something like a possibility to adjust ww2 birds guns aiming point, separately for each gun. I found a Korean parade, where they went crazy putting some LEDs on Su-25 an MiGs.
