Landing light reflection on fuselage


Recommended Posts

After seeing a few real world photos, shouldn't the landing lights have some reflection on the fuselage?

Hi Mathijs,

 

I'm using FSX SE. I'm assuming that the lights are mostly configured for the dynamic lighting in P3D V4? if this is the case, then perhaps an option can be placed in the configuration manager for 32bit versions?

Uhh - I believe you already got your answer... :)

In the 32 bit versions it would mean changing complete external bitmaps when you switch on lights, something we do not intend to do.

Of course they should! But as we did it like this the cockpit was flooded with light from the back. Reason: The landing lights dont cast shadows yet and penetrate the hull without any resistence. We will need some patience and hope that this will be updated by LM, as we will see this very often happen also with other wingmounted landinglights in future...

 

Also the overbright buildings on airports are not our fault. It seems that the landinglights currently handle the ground and other objects differently. This must also be overworked by the sim makers....

One more note, I'm not sure if this changes depending on the airline operator or the age of the aircaft, but the cabin lights seem to have a very "yellow/orange" colour. that seems a little different to real world photos which shows more of a white light in the cabin.

Really?

Take into consideration that the high performance mercury lights on many airports are high intensity red-orange in truth and trick out cameras white balances!
