Still no way to force AI flights to turn of lights/only use NVG lights?

Can't find it. Would think this basic option would be in the game by now.

Yes, no such option but we can wish for it

"...to turn of lights"?  You mean to turn "off", right?  That typo might affect anyone searching topics. 

As well, shouldn't checking the box of an AI aircraft as "civil" in ME force it to run nav lights and beacon all the time?  And strobes when flying?  I'm running civil helos over Las Vegas at night and they go dark and pretty much invisible a short time after takeoff.

Aircraft external lights being kinda "broken" for gameplay purposes has been a thing since the first version of DCS afaik.
It's one of those very unfortunate things that hold the DCS night environment back by a lot despite being a relatively easy fix.

I've made a lot of bug reports and wishlist entries about it already. Maybe upvvote, like, comment on it in order to get ED's attention. Despite the topic's headline it also covers AI aircraft light settings.
