reported Search Light beam disappears when viewing directly in it

The search light beam disappears when you are directly in it with the camera. And the glaring effect also disappears when you are far out enough.

I'm having a hard time setting up WWII search lights in a mission. They won't light up the subject. Can you please provide a .miz file?

Here is one: 

 

 

Basically just put a generator next to a light and it should work automatically.

Thanks. I cannot reproduce the issues you describe.

If you can, please provide a track.

That's because you are way too close.

 

As you can see in the first picture, the SL is far away. Only at distance the blinding effect will disappear while the light is still illuminating the ground beneath at that distant position.

Which is why you should share a track so we can see exactly what you are seeing. If this is still an issue, please supply a proper track as requested.

Issue reported.

On the left - camera is outside of searchlight beam, on the right - inside the beam. The beam and "flare" around the projector itself disappears completely, while cockpit gets "washed out", not really flooded by bright light:

This still seems to happen, or happen again
