A32X Series Landing and Taxi lights

Hey guys,
in FS9 im having a issue where when you turn on the taxi and or landing lights they come on but for one dont illuminate the ground so you can see. they are pointing outward if that makes sense. I know you can move the direction of the landing lights but what about the taxi lights? Arent those supposed to be dead on centered?

I have a similar issue. With the FSX models I see this.

With the new FS9 2.1 models I see this.

Is this expected when using the FS9 models in FSX? If not is there a fix? Is there fix in general?

I will give it a shot, but like I said it only happens when I use the FS9 models. FSX models look fine, even Project Opensky models work, same with other freeware FS9 models.

Has any other FSX users had this problem?

I was able to get to be better, but the FSX model landing lights still look different then FS9 models do. Is this on purpose PA team?

Post by **esg** » 17 Nov 2011, 23:46

Nope. Can you take another screenshot now youve replaced the spotlight bmp?

New 2.1 FS9 model, the lights do the same thing with the old FS9 models

FSX model

I can move the lights forward, but the taxi light remains the same. Make it hard to taxi.

Failed to mention, other aircraft look fine lights go out a long way. Just not with the 2.1 model. The A380 is just fine.

ESG load a flight with low visibility and fly in it and youll see the lights are tilted downward.....

Post by **Nixpilot** » 19 Nov 2011, 07:37

It was hard for me to taxi during a night flight yesterday. Hope you guys come up with an update for the light

Post by **esg** » 19 Nov 2011, 14:47

Unlikely.

Ctrl-shift-num 8 to tilt the landing lights up

Post by **Nixpilot** » 19 Nov 2011, 22:10

doesn't work...

Post by **esg** » 19 Nov 2011, 22:29

Turn num lock off

Post by **Nixpilot** » 19 Nov 2011, 22:51

ok thnx

Propilot23k · Post by **Propilot23k** » 20 Nov 2011, 21:08

esg just curious why the lights are tilted downward? and you cant tilt the taxi up only the landing lights.

Post by **esg** » 20 Nov 2011, 21:24

Looks like it was a conscious design decision. They might be like that on the real thing, I don't know

Theyve always been this way, for the record

and you cant tilt the taxi up only the landing lights.

I did say landing lights

ahh ok I understand. and no they don't point down on the real thing.

Where are the PA effects so I can change the spotlight bmp? Can't find them anywhere.

Post by **Nixpilot** » 06 Dec 2011, 04:52
