beroun Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hi, Have IL96 with landing light switches but no landing lights effect. So have installed and positioned the simple landing lights effects to the [Lights] section of aircraft.cfg: light.8=5, 72.70, -3, -3.4,fx_landing, light.9=5, 72.70, 3, -3.4,fx_landing, The lights show when switched on but no shine effect is visible from the cockpit. Any idea how to install the the landing lights which properly shine on the runway? PS tried different landing lights effects including shock wave - all the same, no shine. Thanks, Peter Peter Bendl ex. British Airways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 check fs9.cfg if "SEE_SELF=1" is set. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?206278-Lose-Landing-Lights-From-Cockpit-View I have also read that the lights view from the cockpit are part of the model and if missing, cannot be fixed.

beroun Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Makes sense Chuck. Thanks for looking into it. Peter Bendl ex. British Airways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnuss Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 If you want to see what's possible, check out the Lotus L-39 Albatross in FSX and P3D (I have V2.4). Somehow he got the lights shining, not only on the pavement, but also on most objects in the sim. I've never seen any other like it. So yes, it's in the model. Larry N.

ColR1948 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I've never tried this but maybe a workaround might be to alter the spot view just while to taxi and takeoff. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
